The MBSE Podcast

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — but how do engineering organizations move beyond experimentation and isolated pilots toward real, scalable impact?

In this episode of the MBSE Podcast, we welcome Prof. Dr. Thomas Meenken and Alexander Krumm, two experts who combine deep methodological expertise with hands-on industrial scaling experience.

Thomas brings academic rigor and industry leadership experience from BHS, Roche, and Zeiss.

Alexander, a seasoned system architect, contributes large-scale implementation expertise from Continental, CARIAD, and CLAAS.

Together, they share practical insights from real-world projects conducted through their companies VPATH AI and AI Powered Engineering — spanning the journey from first pragmatic AI agents to agentic workflows and ultimately to integrated Engineering Intelligence platforms.

What you will learn:

Scaling AI without frontloading perfection
You don’t need perfect data to start. AI can actively help structure and clean information from the very first use case. Learn how companies move from isolated quick wins to a scalable, integrated platform approach.

From isolated agents to Engineering Intelligence
True scaling requires context — understanding technical decisions, organizational constraints, resource bottlenecks, and skills gaps. We discuss what it really takes to industrialize AI in engineering environments.

Lessons learned from real implementations
AI should act as a relevance filter — protecting overloaded teams from data overflow and overspecification. One key benefit: drastically reduced onboarding time for complex software systems, even when legacy documentation is incomplete or missing.

Strategic advice from the field
AI adoption is an organizational learning journey — not a one-time software purchase. Why expert-led implementation projects with tool vendors matter far more than simply buying licenses, and how to shape an AI strategy that truly fits your company.

We’re thrilled to welcome Andrius Armonas and Aurelijus Morkevicius to the MBSE Podcast! Representing one of the most powerful SysML modeling tools on the market – Cameo Systems Modeler, Andrius and Aurelijus bring years of experience and deep expertise to the conversation. Both are well known in the global MBSE community for their contributions, thought leadership, and passion for systems engineering.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

The challenge of developing a SysML v2 modeling tool

Key features and the roadmap for Cameo Systems Modeler

Their views on SysML v2 adoption in the industry

And what it’s like being at the forefront of MBSE innovation

And if that weren’t enough, the audience can expect at least one moment in the conversation where Andrius and Aurelijus will share particularly exciting news for the entire MBSE community.

We dive into an essential piece for the SysML v2 puzzle: Sysand, a package manager.

Just as code needs robust package management, models do too. Sysand aims to bring modularity, version control, and reusability to the world of systems modeling.

Join us as we speak with the minds behind Sysand to learn:

Which problem does it solve

What motivated the creation of Sysand

How it integrates into existing SysML toolchains

The core features, use cases, and roadmap for the project

And how it fits into the future of open and modular MBSE

Whether you’re a systems engineer, tool developer, or just passionate about the future of modeling, this episode will give you valuable insights into how Sysand is helping shape the MBSE landscape.

In our next episode, we’re diving into a cutting-edge European research project that’s shaping the future of Model-Based Systems Engineering in the aviation domain: ODE4HERA – Open Digital Environment for HERA (https://www.ode4hera.eu).

Join us as we welcome Francesco Torrigiani and Luca Boggero from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), key contributors to the ODE4HERA initiative, which supports the Open Digital Environment for Hybrid-Electric Regional Architectures (ODE4HERA).

We’ll explore:

The vision behind ODE4HERA.

How MBSE is being applied.

The role of SysML v2 in the project.

In our next MBSE Podcast episode, we welcome Johannes Gross, founder of Planetary Utilities, to explore Starforge — a bold new platform that reimagines how we engineer complex systems.

We will highlight:

The power of SysML v2 as a unifying platform — enabling consistent structure, behavior, and semantics across the full engineering stack.

The integration of AI with model-based engineering — supporting conversational model building and queries.

End-to-end toolchain integration — including seamless connections to CAD, simulation engines, and open-source tools like OpenMBEE, preserving model intent across disciplines and teams.

And at the end of the episode, we’ll showcase a live demo of Starforge in action — from model queries to simulation runs and interactive engineering workflows.
