Broadcast date: December 15th, 2025, 17:30 CET 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.

Broadcast date: November 28th, 2025, 19:00 CET 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.

Broadcast date: October 10th, 2025, 19:00 CET 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.

Tim Weilkiens, systems modeling author and co-chair of SysML v2.1, teams up with Vince Molnár, associate professor and formal verification expert active in KerML and SysML v2. They discuss the SysML v2 book, KerML as a formal kernel, the shift to text syntax and precise semantics, tooling and API-driven automation, and teaching, certification, and adoption paths.

Broadcast date: June 19th, 2025, 19:00 CET We’re excited to bring you a brand-new episode of the MBSE-Podcast! This time, we dive into the future of model-based systems engineering tools with Sebastian Völkl, co-founder of the innovative engineering platform Dalus. We will talk about The vision behind Dalus and how it reimagines collaboration and usability in systems engineering Insights into the challenges and opportunities of building a new tool from scratch Real-world use cases and how Dalus integrates with modern engineering workflows How Dalus uses SysML v2 Dalus is a fresh approach to empowering engineers with intuitive, flexible, and collaborative MBSE capabilities.

Hamza Bassam, an MBSE trainer, coach and consultant focused on sustainability and circular design. He discusses how MBSE handles lifecycle complexity. He explores linking models to LCA tools and circularity KPIs. He covers SysML/SystemL extensions, reusable libraries, and the social barriers to systems-level change.

Broadcast date: April 24th, 2025, 19:00 CET When you think MBSE, you might think SysML right away—but what about MBSE without SysML? In our next episode, we sit down with a guest, Joshua Feingold from Occam Systems, a company that helps organizations source specialty chemicals—from flavors and fragrances to pharma ingredients and adhesives. But how do they approach complexity and optimization before anything is even manufactured? We dive into how Occam applies MBSE principles without SysML: How they model and simulate chemical sourcing processes Why does their MBSE metamodel has fewer than 20 concepts How they use AI, algorithms, and chemists in an upstream fusion of science and systems Why “MBSE First Principles” and the ideas of Wymore still matter Diagrams vs Text vs Both: what works best? If you’re curious about how MBSE is evolving outside the traditional SysML ecosystem—and how it empowers decision-making in non-obvious domains—you won’t want to miss this one.
