Intelligent Search Engine for Systems Engineering needs, helping to search and reuse legacy components across engineering projects and thereby, save development cost.
MetaDataQuest is a multi-platform search engine for Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Volumes of systems knowledge present across engineering programs can be quickly searched and retrieved. It understands and extracts rich metadata about structural, physical and functional aspects of systems, helping to intelligently identify suitable control algorithms and plant models. Depending upon the native platform, it offers additional features including model refactor support for Simulink, report generation for analysis and conformance to style guides.
Legacy components modeled in various platforms including Simulink, C and Modelica can be searched as per the search specification. The components matching the search criteria can be filtered from the results and reused in new engineering projects. Thus, MetaDataQuest helps to reuse validated components, reduce development effort and thereby, save project cost.
Along with MetaDataCloud enterprise platform, MetaDataQuest helps to organize milestone releases of engineering projects across teams and perform faster search and retrieval of systems in real time.
Default search feature available in native platforms are limited to identify models and components based on their names. There is a need to intepret rich knowledge inside the engineering systems so that all engineers know about structural, physical and functional aspects of systems.
MetaDataQuest can understand the detailed semantics of engineering systems implemented in various native platforms, extract suitable metadata and organize them efficiently for intelligent search and easy retrieval of systems of interest in real time.
During model review, various aspects inside Simulink models including component names and parameters have to be updated as per the guidelines. Such effort through manual modification or custom Matlab scripting can be time consuming and prone to quality issues for critical real time systems.
Using MetaDataQuest, engineers can quickly search for systems to be updated, specify the relevant change and perform quick refactoring of all Simulink models in the entire project repository. Further, it can help to migrate older library blocksets inside the models to their latest versions.
Various aspects of complex systems will be familiar to team members during the project execution. After the completion, such knowledge about systems will be difficult to remember. Further, there is no easy way to know about existence of such systems across engineering teams.
Systems Engineers can choose these existing project repositories in MetaDataQuest and search for legacy components. Validated components can be retrieved and reused in new projects helping to avoid duplication of existing systems, reduce development effort and save project cost.
MetaDataQuest can search within a single model, across workspaces and project repositories. In addition, it is integrated with MetaDataCloud application, which helps to perform enterprise cloud search across engineering teams and projects.
Milestone releases of engineering projects can be pushed to the MetaDataCloud by automatic metadata extraction from these systems. Real-time seach and retrieval can be performed over such large volume of systems knowledge base quickly.
Seamless support for searching of engineering systems modeled in various native platforms including C, Matlab-Simulink and Modelica. More platforms and knowledge systems will be integrated to provide complete systems knowledge for Model Based System Engineering.
The search specification and workflow are unique for each native platform. The search filter is easy to use and powerful to specify complex search criteria for identification of Systems of Interest.
Typically, the development teams have their own coding standards and modeling guidelines. The systems have to be checked for conformance to these standards. Often, this results in development of in-house tools and custom scripts for automated checking and reports creation.
MetaDataQuest has powerful parser and search engine which helps in thorough checking of large systems as per the guidelines and ensure the conformance of products releases to industry standards.
