Abstract Component‐Selection is an important task in design synthesis of MBSE. A trade study is commonly used to help systems engineers and stakeholders selecting the components of a systems design. A simple analysis may be sufficient when it involves only two parameters. However, when the components and their integration become more complex, the trade study also becomes harder, time‐ and cost‐consuming, and error‐prone. This paper aims to propose a method to automatically generate the solution by performing an evolutionary search. Sample components of a hybrid car which consists of an engine, an electric motor, and a battery are used in our initial prototype. The logical architecture is represented in the OMG SysMLTM via CSMTM. Through the experimental result, this paper shows that the proposed technique allowed the system design to be efficiently selected.
