Syndeia’s Generic RESTful API interface provides a powerful tool for adding new model repositories to a digital thread without customized coding by the vendor. With this post, we continue reviewing the RESTful API demo videos organized around each of five methods authenticating access to an external RESTful API-based repository: no authentication required, basic authentication, and

There are thousands of model and data repositories that are potentially part of the digital engineering environment for organizations developing complex systems. No engineering software vendor has the resources to build and maintain integrations to even a sizeable fraction of these, especially since many are custom proprietary tools with only a small number of users.

We began this blog series with the idea, captured in the notional diagram in Figure 1, that there is a connection between project management metrics such as schedule, cost, and risk; the characteristics of the digital thread; and the specific queries that a digital thread platform might make. We looked at that connection in greater

The digital thread is dynamic. Many of the federated data repositories are configuration-managed, and it is critical for the inter-model connections to be version-sensitive. Consistency of a digital thread implies that the version of a connected data element is the same now as when the connections to it were created or most recently updated. If

While Complexity may be a confusing concept, Activity has clearer correlations with cost and schedule. In this post, I will illustrate some of the ways in which systems engineering activity can be calculated and displayed using Syndeia to query the digital thread for our UGV02 project. Figure 1 displays the number of inter-model relations created

Intercax was a Ruby sponsor of the 2023 INCOSE International Workshop (IW) in Torrance, CA, USA, Jan 28-31. Our team comprising of Dr. Manas Bajaj (Chief Systems Officer), Lonnie VanZandt (Principal Solutions Architect), and Greg Salow (VP, Business Development) attended the IW to interact with peer system engineers and contribute to the digital engineering, SysML

TestRail From Gurock is a test management solution and accessible through the Syndeia Cloud REST API. In this notebook, we demonstrate how to navigate through the multilevel TestRail data model to obtain artifact data at any level. A TestRail Repository contains TestRail Projects, which map to Containers in the Syndeia data model A TestRail Project

In Part 6 of this series, we described Syndeia Cloud REST API calls to non-Configuration-Managed (non-CM or regular) DOORS NextGen (DNG) projects. DNG projects that are CM-enabled require users to navigate through several additional levels of Components, Streams, and Baselines to access all the data in the project. Components are contained within Projects; each Component

A key benefit of the Syndeia digital thread platform is that it enables the user to retrieve data from all the federated repositories through a single interface, the Syndeia Cloud REST API. This and the next several Jupyter notebooks released with Syndeia 3.5 will each focus on a specific repository type. This post will cover

One of the principal benefits of a digital thread platform such as Syndeia is that it gives project leaders a holistic real-time view of the entire modeling effort. By combining Syndeia data requests with data science analytics, users can monitor and document progress quantitatively. In Part 4 of this series, we review a new Jupyter
