Press Release Paris and Nantes, France - October 10, 2023                  Shaping the Future of Model-Based Engineering   CEA-List and Obeo have initiated a collaboration to share their extensive, long-term experience in developing model-based software to serve a long-term vision for the web-based engineering tools of the future. The outcome will be multi-enterprise collaborative solutions, offering an augmented user experience and supporting emerging standards, like SysMLv2.   In many industrial sectors, customers are requesting increasingly connected products. They also have rising expectations concerning safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Meeting these demands necessitates an exceptionally modular and multidisciplinary approach, resulting in high complexity. For many years, model-based engineering, which leverages abstraction, computation and visualization, has demonstrated its ability to address this com...

Watch the replay of the Capella Webinar of October 5th 2023! A Model Based System Architecture Methodology Leveraging the ARCADIA Method   System Architecture, its derived requirements and systems analysis performed, are often attributed to defining 70% of the cost and capabilities of a system. However, after nearly two decades of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), there is a lack of architecture focused methodologies and tools to aid programs in creating a robust, transdisciplinary system architecture. One notable exception is the Thales developed Architecture Analysis and Design Integrated Approach (ARCADIA) method and associated Capella modeling tool. The ARCADIA Architecture Development Method (ADM) provides instance-based methodologies for each ADM step with rich viewpoints and views to ensure a robust architecture is obtained. As the goal of the proposed methodology is to rapidly create a robust, transdisciplinary system architecture, ARCADIA was selected for its ...

Watch the replay of the Capella Webinar (September 14th, 2023)   Digitally Assisted Design for Safety   Is your system robust to the loss of one or more functions? Does your system require interaction with other systems to operate safely?Does the design and operational concept of the system include contingency means? Do these contingency means correctly mitigate the risks? These and other similar considerations are becoming more important with the emergence of autonomous systems and complex systems of systems. The introduction of digital tools and in particular model-based systems engineering allows to capture the complexity of these products starting from the operational analysis and supporting the process throughout the whole product life cycle. With ATICA, system architects and designers will be able to analyze safety implications starting from the conceptual needs and mission description; modeling risks associated to the system, assessing the probability of occurren...

(Re)watch the webinar of April 13th, 2023   Assess the environmental impacts of your system architecture How to make environmentally conscious decisions when designing a system? Performing a life cycle assessment (LCA) can help you precisely identify the types of impacts a system has, from the extraction of raw materials to its end-of-life phase. However, this is often a tedious process that involves inputting the system architecture into an LCA tool and mapping it to environmental databases. This makes it difficult to repeat the process multiple times for the same system. So why not reuse your Capella models to conduct LCAs? Ecodesign for Capella is a new add-on that allows systems architects to enter data on the life expectancy of components, materials utilized, consumptions, and emissions directly in Capella, and automatically generate a life cycle inventory in an LCA tool like OpenLCA. In the essential collaboration between systems and environmental engineers to reduce ...

Watch the replay:      GfSE local - Der lange Weg vom Angebot zum Projekt, unterstützt durch Capella Co-organized by Gesellschaft für Systems Engineering e.V. and Obeo The lecture shows the "long way" from the offer model to a project model in Capella®. In addition to questions such as "What can be reused from the quotation model?" or "How can we quickly increase the number of system architects working on the project?" , some of the pitfalls on this path are also presented. The following key statements result from the experience of using ARCADIA and Capella® even in the early phases of a project: The methodology and the tool can also be used profitably in an offer phase, if you limit yourself to the necessary parts, so that the offer team gets a uniform view of the design.This offer model can be used in the implementation project, whereby the focus is on the functional aspects and their description.Focusing on critical areas, such as functions that have a safety...

Discover the replay of the webinar (Thursday, December 19th, 2023) Making Arcadia work for you - a look at framework tailoring in Thales UK   Architecture frameworks provide an approach to describing systems and the presentation of these elements and relationships to deliver the stakeholder needs. Essentially, frameworks provide templates for our engineering artefacts.The design of a framework must accommodate a level of freedom in its usage; specific enough to answer the majority of stakeholder concerns, whilst generic enough to allow for differences between projects. This balancing act often results in framework design being more generic to allow for a wider audience. Having an untailored framework, which is more ‘open’, can lead to creating inconsistent viewpoints.Arcadia is one such framework as implemented through the Capella tool. The framework provides 4 perspectives/levels for product definition:- The Operational Analysis, where the user needs are considered. Note: n...

Watch the replay:  Model Simulation and Analysis in Capella Through a large number of engineering practices in China, we found that customers not only pay attention to how the object product can be modeled more quickly and reasonably, but also pay attention to the correctness of the model itself. Therefore, the simulability and analyzability of the model are very important. Users expect Capella to provide value in logic simulation and parametric analysis. According to the needs of customers, improvements have been made in the following aspects: 1. We decided to add the concept and related elements of activity diagrams in Sysml to Capella to make the function flow executable;2. Referring to the state machine specification in Sysml, we assign dynamic execution rules to the elements in the Capella state machine so that they can be simulated and operated;3. Support nested calls and interrupt logic between state machines and activity diagrams to enrich the simulation scenarios.4....

Watch the replay:   Simulation with Python and MATLAB® in Capella A common need in system architecture design is to verify that the architecture is correct and can satisfy the requirements. Execution of system architecture model means to interact with state machines to test system’s control logic. It can verify if the logical sequences of functions and interfaces in different scenarios are desired. However, only sequence itself is not enough to verify its consequence or output. So we need each function to do what it is supposed to do during model execution to verify its output, and that is what we called “simulation”. This presentation introduces how to embed Python or MATLAB® codes inside functions to do “simulation” within Capella.   Renfei Xu Renfei Xu is the Technical Director of MBSE from PGM. He has participated in many implementation projects of MBSE in areas like Engine Control, Avionics, Mechatronics, RADAR and so on. In recent years, he is dedicated to th...
