Modeled Attributes

Modeled attributes are properties of systems that have discrete or ranges of continuous values. An important set of these are; configurable parameters of features, functions and physical components. These are the levers that systems engineers pull to control the direction of development for a system. For example; In an engine, one of its modeled attributes is continuous power rated in horse power. Deciding that a line of engines will be 3-5hp is a lot different than one including 500-600hp. The systems engineer along with product planners set these ranges to meet a broad set of system requirements.


It is the Mechanical Engineers however, that will tell them if these ranges are feasible from the same basic engine design.
