SysML v2 in Practice: From Migration to Requirements and Analysis
SysML v2 is more than an update to SysML v1. It introduces important changes to how systems engineers can model requirements, represent analysis, and connect different engineering concerns within an MBSE workflow.
In this live masterclass with Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass, you’ll learn what genuinely changes from SysML v1, which familiar modeling practices need to be reconsidered, and how SysML v2 requirements and analysis cases support real systems engineering work through practical examples and demonstrations.
This isn’t a tour of SysML v2 syntax. It is a focused set of expert-led presentations, practical examples, demonstrations, and live Q&A examining how SysML v2 changes the way systems engineers approach requirements, analysis, and related engineering concerns.
Whether you are currently working with SysML v1, preparing for SysML v2 adoption, or evaluating what the transition means for your organization, the masterclass will help you develop a clearer understanding of the changes that matter in practice.
What you'll learn
By the end of the masterclass, you'll be able to:
Understand the important conceptual differences between SysML v1 and SysML v2
Identify established SysML practices that may need to be reconsidered when moving to v2
See how requirements are represented and used in SysML v2
Understand how requirements relate to system elements and engineering activities
Explore how analysis cases capture engineering questions, inputs, analytical behavior, and results
See practical examples of how requirements and analysis can support broader MBSE workflows
Develop a clearer understanding of what to preserve, transform, or rethink when adopting SysML v2
Why attend?
Moving to SysML v2 is not simply a matter of learning new notation. The language introduces changes that affect familiar modeling practices and how different engineering concerns can be represented and connected.
Through Bruce’s presentations, demonstrations, and examples, you’ll see these differences in context and have the opportunity to ask questions directly during the live Q&A.
The goal is not simply to describe what SysML v2 contains, but to help you understand the important changes it introduces, how those changes affect established SysML practices, and how its capabilities can be applied in practical systems engineering contexts.
You'll be comfortable with
This is a practitioner-focused masterclass rather than an introductory overview.
You should have:
A basic understanding of systems engineering concepts
Familiarity with system modeling or MBSE concepts
An understanding of requirements and their role in engineering systems
Experience with SysML v1 is useful but not required. No previous SysML v2 experience is necessary.

What makes this masterclass different?
This isn't four hours of SysML v2 syntax and slides.
The focus is on using SysML v2 to solve real systems engineering problems.
You'll explore the parts of SysML v2 that require engineers to think differently, particularly when transitioning from SysML v1. Requirements, architecture, analysis, and engineering workflow won't be treated as separate topics. Instead, you'll see how they work together within an integrated system model.
The masterclass draws on decades of practical experience with SysML and model-based systems engineering across engineering practice, consulting, education, and authorship.
The goal is not simply to help you understand what SysML v2 contains, but to help you understand how to use it effectively.
