This paper describes a new approach to system modeling and analysis predicated on the construction and execution of object‐oriented models of systems. Our approach uses constraints to describe a system's response behavior to stimuli, it incorporates a solver to execute the model, and it provides a tailorable user interface that allows one to define the modeling symbology. An advantage of object‐oriented system modeling, execution and analysis is an increased ability to handle complexity. A prototype of this tool has been developed and applied to different system engineering problems. Applications include modeling of a system engineering method, modeling the Viking Lander Guidance and Control Systems for the Descent Phase on Mars, and an executable simulation of a spacecraft landing on the moon.
