This approach would be most effective from a MBSE perspective because it allows the system engineer to create a unified view of the design of the system and its components using SysML blocks and relationships. A block is an extension of the UML Class metaclass that can be used to model any system component with structure and behavior. A relationship is a connection between model elements that specifies some kind of dependency or association. By creating a SysML block structure representing the system and its components, the system engineer can capture the hierarchy, composition, classification, generalization, etc., of the system elements. By creating relationships between the blocks and the design models, such as MCAD, ECAD, or Spreadsheets, the system engineer can link the SysML model with the external models and provide traceability and consistency. The system engineer can also use the SysML model to generate a bill-of-materials for the system and its components, as well as to propagate changes made in one design model to another using allocation or synchronization mechanisms.
