Empower engineers to create and automate multi-tool workflows, optimize product designs, and enable Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) by connecting requirements to engineering.
Automate the execution of any software tool, such as Ansys LS-Dyna, MathWorks MATLAB®, Microsoft Excel®, MSC Nastran®, PTC Creo®, and many more. Integrate these tools to create automated engineering workflows and build a workflow library. Leverage high-performance computing to ask “what-if” questions to perform trade studies. Connect all of it to a systems architecture model to enable Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
ModelCenter simplifies engineering workloads by automating repeatable tasks and creating direct links between engineering tools and requirements. Users have gone from a few simulations per day to hundreds. Organizations can now shift resources left, reducing developmental costs while accelerating the time-to-market.
Leveraging MBSE to improve the continuous verification of requirements and mission design parameters
“Automating and integrating the simulation into this system model then allows the team to rapidly identify potential issues with changes to mission requirements, as well as perform continuous verification of requirements and mission design parameters throughout the lifecycle of the spacecraft... The overall improvement versus the original process was about a 7x speedup in turnaround time.”

On September 5, 2016 an Atlas V rocketed from Cape Canaveral carrying the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on a mission to discover the origin of our solar system by exploring the asteroid Bennu. Bennu may help us find answers to the questions central to the human experience: Where did we come from? What is our destiny?
The specific mission had the following objectives:
In October 2020, OSIRIS-REx conducted a “touch-and-go” maneuver to collect at least 60 grams, a far larger sample size than any other previous sample retrieval mission. On May 10, 2021, OSIRIS-REx fired its thrusters and heads on a 2.5-year course back to Earth.
The OSIRIS-REx mission was complex and daunting. Preparing for it required months of testing, modeling, and analyzing each step. This case study explores how Lockheed Martin planned for the mission using ModelCenter® and ModelCenter MBSE to enable Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) for the success of the mission.

For 2024 R2, ModelCenter will become more accessible to users with an updated licensing model and connectivity to third-party connectors. With an updated connection to Minerva, users can now maintain better data traceability.
Store simulation data generated by ModelCenter in Minerva and maintain the traceability of generated data to support the digital thread.
Optionally eliminate the need to install, configure, and manage licensing servers, enabling high scalability and availability.
Stay up to date with the newest release of Cameo Systems Modeler to implement MBSE to reduce risk and manage complexity.
ModelCenter implements Model-Based Engineering processes flexibly. With ModelCenter, engineers can create and maintain a library of modeling and simulation tools and engineering workflows. You'll automatically execute the workflows, leverage high-performance computing resources to perform trade studies, and ask "what-if" questions. Best of all, these workflows connect to a systems architecture model to perform Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
Drive innovation and improve product quality by enabling users to thoroughly explore and understand design alternatives, make better decisions, and find optimal solutions.
