Behavior and Architecture

For engineers. 6 chapters, 16 minutes in all, on one small project: a Bike-Share Dock. Watch them in order, or pick the chapter you need. The next chapter starts on its own when one ends.

▶ Start with chapter 3.1

1. 3.1Functions and the FFBD 3:04Give the functions a top-level function, then write their flow as text and get the FFBDFunctional Flow Block Diagram A diagram of functions in the order they run, with branches, loops and parallel paths.
2. 3.2Action Diagrams 2:31Break a function into steps with parallel branches, a decision and the item that triggers a step
3. 3.3Allocation 2:18Decide which part of the dock performs each function, and find what is left
4. 3.4Interfaces 2:16Give each interface a status, an owner and a capacity, carry items over it, and export the ICDInterface Control Document The agreed definition of an interface between two systems: what crosses it, how, and who owns it. Holarch also has an Interface Control Diagram.
5. 3.5Simulation 2:16Give the steps durations, play one run, then a hundred, and check the result against a limit
6. 3.6Budgets and TPMs 3:12Roll up the dock's mass with contingency and margin, then track it as a technical performance measure
