	abstract = {Changes in technology, economy and society create challenges that force us to rethink the way we develop systems. Model- Based Systems Engineering is an approach that can prove catalytic in this new era of systems development. In this paper we introduce the idea of the {\textquotedblleft}modeling hub{\textquotedblright} in order to realize the vision of Model-Based Systems Engineering and especially we focus on the trade-off path of this hub. For that purpose the design capabilities of SysML are extended by integrating it with Consol-Optcad, a powerful multi-criteria optimization tool for trade-off analysis. The integration and its implementation is applied to analyze a multi-criteria optimization problem concerning power allocation and scheduling in a microgrid.},
