How does simulation support system architecture activities?

During the system architecture design, system architects always must make compromise, find the right balance and to secure the system definition.
To do so the use of simulation is useful to get tangible information to make justified design choices on each specific topics, to early integrate, verify and validate the system definition and much more.
Hence, in this process they will require to run multitude of simulations, all of them somehow linked to the system definition captured in Capella.
In this context, the challenge is to ensure the consistency of the system definition model and the simulation models.

The connector is exactly intended to make this model transformation easier and to ensure models consistency.

During the system architecture design process the engineers can leverage simulation to support some of their analysis needs:
