What is Model Based Design (MBD)?
Model-based design is a system engineering approach that involves the use of models to represent and analyze complex systems. It is based on the idea that creating and using models can help to improve the understanding of a system and facilitate the design, development, and operation of that system. MBD can be used in a variety of applications, including the design of software systems, hardware systems, and business processes.
There are various benefits to using model-based design.
One benefit is that it can help to improve the efficiency of the systems engineering process by reducing the need for physical prototypes and testing. This can save time and resources and help to reduce the overall cost of development. MBD can also help to improve the accuracy and reliability of systems by allowing designers to analyze and test the behavior of a system under different conditions before it is built. Additionally, MBD can help to improve collaboration and communication within teams by providing a common language and representation for discussing and understanding complex systems.

Accelerate Your Time to Market
At Design Visionaries we have helped several very successful companies to benefit from the use of MBD. They are reporting that, after a short period of adjustment, they’re saving significant amounts of money and are able to go to market sooner and with a better product.
Streamlining Design
Companies are reducing scrap rates and producing components that more effectively and reliably meet specifications. They’re producing better components because communication between design and manufacturing is greatly improved. They’re even spending less time producing detailed drawings.
MBD Implementation Made Easy
At Design Visionaries we have innovated several tools and methods to help companies like yours get up to speed with MBD. We can help you avoid common mistakes and ensure that your MBD implementation is optimized. We have the training materials ready to go, the infrastructure and most importantly great people who really care to do an excellent job.
Your First Step is Free
Allow us to provide a free presentation/consultation of what we’ve found and what we may do for you. This presentation received rave reviews at the latest Realize Live Show in Las Vegas in June. The presentation includes a proprietary ROI calculator that considers the input of key pieces of company specific data and projects your potential savings by adopting MBD.
Thanks in advance for the privilege to serve you. Please contact us to get started. The time that we spend with you will be worth its weight in gold.
The Difference Between MBE and MBD
Model-based engineering (MBE) and model-based design (MBD) are both approaches that involve the use of models to represent and analyze systems. While there is some overlap in the use of these terms, they generally refer to slightly different concepts.
MBE is a system engineering approach that involves the use of models to represent and analyze complex systems. It is used to improve the design, development, and operation of systems in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, construction, and software development. MBE focuses on the use of models; a digital twin to represent and analyze systems throughout the lifecycle of the system, from design and development to operation and maintenance.
MBD, on the other hand, is an engineering design approach that involves the use of models to represent and analyze the design of a system. It is used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the design process by allowing designers to analyze and test the behavior of a system under different conditions before it is built. MBD typically focuses on the use of models during the design phase of a system and is often used in conjunction with computer-aided design (CAD) tools.
In summary, MBE is a broader term that refers to the use of models to represent and analyze complex systems throughout their lifecycle, while MBD is a specific approach to engineering design that involves the use of models to represent and analyze the design of a system.
