Replay of Capella Webinar - Thursday, September 26th 2024 Integration of Capella with Requirements Management Tools   With the Arcadia method implemented by Capella, engineering is considered through three interrelated activities of equal importance:- Requirements engineering- Need analysis and modelling- Architecture building and validation The first is generally conducted with a Requirements Management tool (such as Doors or Polarion), while the last two are conducted with Capella. Using different tools raises questions about efficiently maintaining consistency and alignment between the architecture models and the requirements, and exposing a consistent integrated view of this interrelated data. During this webinar, you will see how the Publication for Capella add-on enables publishing Capella models on a web server and connecting them with requirements, change requests, test cases, releases, and more, defined in third-party repositories. This solution breaks down silos...

Replay Capella Webinar - June 6th 2024 Adopting Model-Based Practices with Capella and TASTE for Student-Developed CubeSat Systems   In today's transforming industry, Model-Based approaches are often seen as an add-on, further complicating the already complex work of systems engineering and software development. But what if it did not have to be this way? At GU Orbit, we have adopted the Arcadia method exactly to make the process of engineering complex space systems more accessible to undergraduate students. With its multi-level workflow, repetitive activities, and opinionated semantics enforced by the Capella tool, it effectively guides even inexperienced users in the design of rational systems. Additionally, taking advantage of its semantic similarity to the European Space Agency's TASTE toolchain for embedded software development, we have devised an overarching methodology to rigorously bridge the gap between high-level system specifications and low-level component code. ...

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...

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:      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...

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:   SES ENGINEERING Studio: Achieving the perfect equilibrium between Textual Requirements and Models in Capella enhanced by Automatic Interoperability, Quality & Traceability operations. The importance of models is imperative in any Systems Engineering project. However, truth is not exclusively found within models. The need to describe external contracts, regulations, or non-functional requirements, for instance, can be more efficiently satisfied by using textual specifications. In order to achieve the desired “Common Source of Truth”, model and textual requirements must be connected and coexist, desirable enhanced by the automatization of the consistency checking, automatically modifying one side when changes are produced on the other end... Within The REUSE Company, we have realised how crucial it is to facilitate this connection and provide Systems Engineers with the tools required for applying SE across the entire process as seamlessly as possible.

Watch the replay:      E/E systems and cyber-physical systems are carrying out more and more advanced and safety critical features in many domains such as transport, energy, industry, farming, medical, etc. Therefore, during last few years, to manage the development of those complex systems, companies have moved from a document-based approach to a model-based approach associated with very specific tools. However, system and safety engineering, and some other related engineering domains like cybersecurity for instance, are still too often conducted independently, whereas safety and system attributes are largely interdependent. There is a need to foster greater collaboration between these disciplines to avoid errors and also to maintain time-to-market. That's why since several years, ALL4TEC, with its safety analysis tool Safety Architect, has been working to connect its tool with system solutions to couple MBSE and MBSA. The goal is to better ensure consistency bet...
