Episode 70: OpenSysML with Chris Delp and Robert Karban

Broadcast date: September 28th, 2026, 19:00 CET SysML v2 is shaping up to be more than a modeling language. It is becoming a shared, standardized foundation for digital engineering. But what does it take to build an open, high-performance, and commercially friendly implementation that strictly conforms to the specification? In this upcoming episode of the MBSE Podcast, we sit down with Chris Delp and Robert Karban from OpenSysML ( opensysml.org ) to take a deep dive into building a complete, spec-conformant SysML v2 stack for the open-source community and industry alike. In this episode, we cover: The Vision of an Open SysML Runtime: Why the ecosystem needs an unencumbered, commercial-friendly, spec-conformant open-source implementation, and why open-source and community needs are essential for driving standards forward. The Full v2 Stack & Flexo: How Flexo serves as the model management service with SysML v2 compliance, offering a v2 API–compliant performant architecture. Developer Tooling & Ecosystem: From the CLI and Language Server Protocol (LSP) to seamless integrations with VS Code, Python, and WebAssembly. Multi-Language SDKs: Bringing native, object-oriented programmatic interfaces to engineering teams in Python, C#, C++, Kotlin/Java, and TypeScript. Views, Documents & Beyond: A look into view and viewpoint document generation, as well as where execution fits into the long-term roadmap. There is a huge amount happening in the open-source SysML v2 space, and this conversation gives a direct look under the hood.

Episode 69: Why the Digital Thread must be active

Broadcast date: August 21th, 2026, 19:00 CET MBSE was supposed to break down engineering silos. But what if, instead, we sometimes created a new one? Models often live in files. Tools manage their own data. Connections between disciplines are often reduced to imports, exports, and one-way interfaces. That’s not a Digital Thread. A real Digital Thread must be active. It doesn’t just collect data. It connects systems. It doesn’t just make information available. It enables information to flow — in both directions. Otherwise, you haven’t built a Digital Thread. You’ve built a Data Lake. In this episode, Tim is the Host and Christian is the guest, and he brings his co-founder Michael, from their startup Elevating Patterns. They discuss why this distinction matters — and what it takes to move from connected data to a truly connected engineering ecosystem.

Episode 68: SysModeler

Broadcast date: June 22nd, 2026, 19:00 CET In this episode of the MBSE Podcast, we continue the tool series and explore the SysML modeling tool SysModeler. Our guest is Tawhid Bin Waez, Founder and CEO of SysModeler. In our episodes about tools, we strip away the marketing gloss. We look at SysModeler from a practical, executive, and technical perspective. SysModeler is a new player on the MBSE SysML tool playing field. Without any legacy, it could directly apply modern approaches. It is web-based and integrates AI. Watch the livestream on YouTube or catch it later on YouTube , Spotify , iTunes , or Amazon Music .

Episode 67: MBSE around the World – Japan

Broadcast date: June 8th, 2026, 13:00 CET As the global Systems Engineering community prepares for the upcoming INCOSE International Symposium in Japan, our next episode of the “MBSE around the World” series takes a deep dive into the land of the rising sun. Japan has a rich history of engineering excellence, but how is Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) uniquely adopted, scaled, and perceived across Japanese industries? What cultural and organizational factors influence its implementation? We have three guests this time: Kazuyuki Murakami, Shinichiro Nakamura, and Takeshi Kouno are leading figures in the field of MBSE in Japan. In this upcoming session, we explore: The current state of MBSE in Japan’s industry. The regional challenges and innovative breakthroughs. What the global community can learn from Japan’s approach to systems thinking as we head into the International Symposium. Whether you are attending the Symposium or want to expand your global perspective on systems engineering, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode 66: SysML v2 Automatic Drawing with Brendan Madden

Broadcast date: April 13th, 2026, 19:00 CET Modelers spend a lot of time creating SysML diagrams. It takes effort to get the layout of the countless elements just right and ensure that all relationships are free of overlaps, and so on. Good diagrams are important so that relevant stakeholders can easily access the information. Diagrams can also be generated automatically, which saves a lot of effort. In this episode, we cover automated visualization with SysML v2. Our guest is Brendan Madden, CEO of Tom Sawyer Software. What to expect: How automatic diagram generation works in SysML v2 The role of graph visualization in MBSE Practical implications for engineering teams and toolchains A forward-looking perspective on model usability and scalability Watch the livestream on YouTube or catch it later on YouTube , Spotify , iTunes , or Amazon Music .

Episode 65: Scaling AI in Engineering with Alexander Krumm and Prof. Dr. Thomas Meenken

Broadcast date: February 24th, 2026, 18:30 CET 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.
