Traditional MBSE tools suffer from usability barriers, limited accessibility, and integration challenges. By combining knowledge graphs with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the proposed framework enables AI-Augmented engineering through natural language interactions and automated system architecture generation. A systematic literature review establishes a solid research foundation, identifying gaps in AI-assisted MBSE. Key contributions include a structured MBSE-Graph interface, improved usability via Large Language Models (LLMs), and automated graph construction aligned with SysML. A proof-of-concept demonstrates the potential of this approach to enhance MBSE by reducing complexity, improving data accessibility, and supporting engineering collaboration.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"15782","department":[{"_id":"563"}],"_id":"64229","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2732-527X"]},"citation":{"mla":"Hanke, Fabian, et al. “AI-Augmented Systems Engineering: Conceptual Application of Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Model-Based Systems Engineering Graph.” <i>Proceedings of the Design Society</i>, vol. 5, Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2025, pp. 439–48, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1017/pds.2025.10058\">10.1017/pds.2025.10058</a>.","bibtex":"@inproceedings{Hanke_Mpidi Bita_von Heißen_Weller_Hovemann_Dumitrescu_2025, title={AI-augmented systems engineering: conceptual application of retrieval-augmented generation for model-based systems engineering graph}, volume={5}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1017/pds.2025.10058\">10.1017/pds.2025.10058</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Design Society}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Hanke, Fabian and Mpidi Bita, Isaac  and von Heißen, Oliver  and Weller, Julian and Hovemann, Aschot and Dumitrescu, Roman}, year={2025}, pages={439–448} }","short":"F.
