This Handbook establishes how system modeling using Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML®) can be integrated with the NASA Systems Engineering (SE) processes in NPR 7123.1, NASA Systems Engineering Processes and Requirements. The systems engineering products covered in this Handbook are those generated from the following NASA SE Engine processes: Stakeholder Expectation Definition, Technical Requirements Definition, Product Verification, and Product Validation. The work products covered are Stakeholder identification and Expectations definition, Concept of Operations (ConOps), Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) definition, Technical Requirements, Measures of Performance (MOP), Technical Performance Measures (TPM) definition, Verification & Validation (V&V) Requirements, Planning, Results and Reports.

This Handbook contains sections on model planning, setting up the model including model organization, the metamodel used to demonstrate the system modeling elements and relationships, a section on model building that provides example SysML® models following the metamodel, and a section on generating diagrams and tables from the system model to support the NASA SE work products.

A companion model to this handbook is available in the NASA Teamwork Cloud and the latest version is available for download below. Note: The model is built using MagicDraw 2022x.
