A SysML profile for mechanical assembly

The design of a mechanical assembly is a complex task that requires system engineering approach. Today, there is a lack of continuity between the work of system engineer who has a global view on the system and the specialist in CAD development who implements the CAD model of the assembly. This work proposes a SysML profile for the description and analysis of mechanical assemblies. Representing all the details of the assembly, it will be used in the MBSE environment in order to describe the designer's work. This will enhance the continuity between the data generated by the two actors by checking and validating the design of the proposed solution. A driving wheel of a forklift mechanism is used to illustrate the proposed approach. The developed profile allows a better communication between the system engineer and the CAD user.
