Using modern design tools to integrate the systems engineering and software engineering processes

This paper describes the complete environment available for the concept to code process. To illustrate the process, we use the automatic transmission design as an example. The basic model is flexible by design in order to allow systematic refinement. The fundamental goal is to form a firm analytical foundation for the design, which fosters flexibility in the implementation. The MathWorks Inc. have provided a suite of tools to help the engineer and shorten the design cycle. The MATLAB environment can be used for initial algorithm development, and data visualization.
