A small and lean team of HDV Systems Engineers(SE) are utilizing MagicDraw to execute NASA SE processes via MBSE. The SEs learned how to use MagicDraw from scratch and HDV is the first project for which the SEs have utilized MagicDraw. This paper  will  demonstrate  project technical execution via MBSE, utilizing  the  digital elements built into the SysML (Systems Modeling Language). SysML provides a model-centric means of  carrying  out  the  NASA SE common  technical  processes  by  providing  tools  for  complete system modeling, including requirements and interface management and design capture. The authors also leverage and extend SysML to perform other SE tasks, such as Verification and Validation  (V&V)tracking. MBSE  has  two  main  purposes  for  HDV: 1)  documenting  the subproject’s logical architecture for  distribution  outside  of  the  subproject,  2)  capturing  the subproject’s  physical  architecture in  a  single-source-of-truth  for  use  by  the  subproject’s members. This  paper  details  the  challenges,  lessons  learned,  and solutions that  were encountered  in  implementing  MBSE in  the  first  iteration on  a multi-iteration, full-lifecycle design, build, fly project.","isLessonsLearned":true,"disseminated":"DOCUMENT_AND_METADATA","cui":{"isCui":false,"submissionId":20220010045,"id":"c6aec637078942a28ac29fc6a00f7278"},"meetings":[{"country":"US","submissionId":20220010045,"endDate":"2023-01-27T08:00:00.0000000+00:00","sponsors":[{"organizationId":"71fb4af96d4a59b5a0a2084db7b4ce35","meta":{"organization":{"name":"American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics","location":"Reston, Virginia, United States"}},"meetingId":"527b6d7eb55a4b9281cc8ec4011fbdf4","id":"2ae62dfa5f024cdb9472d4757f3e4bea"}],"name":"AIAA SciTech","location":"National Harbor, MD","id":"527b6d7eb55a4b9281cc8ec4011fbdf4","url":"https://www.aiaa.org/SciTech","startDate":"2023-01-23T08:00:00.0000000+00:00"}],"status":"CURATED","related":[{"disseminated":"DOCUMENT_AND_METADATA","id":20230005873,"type":"SEE_ALSO","title":"Lean Model-Based Systems Engineering on the NASA High-Density Vertiplex Subproject","stiType":"PRESENTATION","distribution":"PUBLIC","status":"CURATED"}],"downloads":[{"draft":false,"mimetype":"application/pdf","name":"MBSE_Abstract_SciTech_Katsaduros_Ging.pdf","type":"STI","links":{"original":"/api/citations/20220010045/downloads/MBSE_Abstract_SciTech_Katsaduros_Ging.pdf","pdf":"/api/citations/20220010045/downloads/MBSE_Abstract_SciTech_Katsaduros_Ging.pdf","fulltext":"/api/citations/20220010045/downloads/MBSE_Abstract_SciTech_Katsaduros_Ging.pdf.txt"}}],"downloadsAvailable":true,"index":"submissions-2026-10-15-05-24"}
