Abstract

Structural modeling is one of the concepts to handle the complexity of technical products in systems engineering. In the modeling process the choice of the abstraction level and grade of detail are influenced by uncertainties. Current methods support the identification of erroneous elements or dependencies, but support to identify the adequate abstraction level for these elements is missing. This paper presents an approach to identify the adequate level of abstraction. It uses domain mapping matrices and matrix multiplication to support the adjustment of the level of abstraction picking up the results of the approach of verifying the level of abstraction. The approach is applied within an industrial case study.
