AI Systems Modeling Enhancer (AI‐SME): Initial Investigations into a ChatGPT‐enabled MBSE Modeling Assistant

Abstract

AbstractAs artificial intelligence (AI) becomes integral across industries, there is a growing opportunity to transform the generation of models for systems engineering. This research investigates the integration of OpenAI's GPT‐4 Turbo into CATIA Magic for Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), resulting in the creation of AI Systems Modeling Enhancer (AI‐SME). This study explores the comparison between models generated by AI, specifically OpenAI's GPT, and those crafted by human systems engineers. While recognizing challenges in AI‐generated models, this research underscores the potential of AI assistants to enhance the speed and accuracy of SysML model creation. Results demonstrate AI‐SME's successes in generating requirements, block definition diagrams, and internal block diagrams. Despite identified limitations such as redundancy and lack of cohesiveness in AI‐generated models, the study concludes that AI‐SME represents a notable advancement in AI‐assisted systems engineering.
