Thursday, January 20th, 2022 - 5:00 PM CET / 11:00 AM EST This webinar has ended, but feel free to watch the recording.   The slides of the presentation are available here: https://bit.ly/capella_webinar_220120_slides With such a name, Capella, the brightest star in the constellation of Auriga, was undeniably destined to meet space. Previously, it landed in the French Space Agency (CNES) to demonstrate that the current document-centric process can be improved by injecting a (huge) pinch of Capella models slightly extended by new features dedicated to system test specification. Applied on the “Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM)” operational use case, it helped the CNES in the definition and the validation of its future space system dedicated to the gamma ray detection and study. Proof being made, this experience propels Capella to another space company, Kinéis, created by CNES and CLS to strengthen the historical and reputed Argos IOT service, ensure its continu...

Scripting with Python to interact with Capella model This webinar has ended, but feel free to watch the recording.   Have you ever wanted to easily extract engineering data from your Capella model? Have you ever wanted to easily modify your Capella model and import information into it to update it This webinar will present a prototype Capella Add on that will  address several example use cases Read information from a Capella model and export to Excel, with queries Update information in a Capella model Add elements in a Capella model This new Capella add-on uses a common scripting language, not dedicated to Capella: Python. It offers the capacity to use sample scripts addressing basic need and to build its own scripts, with libraries for common add-ons (Requirement, PVMT) It’s easy to share, to use, has high customization capabilities support of Capella and Team for Capella, wide compatibility with Capella versions  The webinar was presente...

We were so glad to be able to represent Capella at INCOSE IS 2021, along with Thales. It was a great opportunity to learn more on Capella & MBSE and get real insider tips and knowledge.   A value-driven, integrated approach to Model-Based Product Line Engineering   Next week, Thales presented their talk on the 19th at 12:30 to 13:10 EDT “A value-driven, integrated approach to Model-Based Product Line Engineering” Pushed to the edge of their capabilities in a highly competitive world market, organizations everywhere look for efficient means to innovate and develop their products and services.  This paper proposed and illustrated a holistic integration of Product Line Engineering (PLE) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) to connect and align market and business analysis, architecting, design, and engineering. This value-driven, integrated approach capitalizes on MBSE best practices to tackle the concrete challenges of product line engineering.  Presen...

Thursday, July 1st, 2021, Obeo organized a Capella Webinar. This webinar has ended, but feel free to watch the recording.    Discover how Arcadia/Capella is used to model and simulate the concept of operations scenarios for CubeSat-based missions. During this webinar, Danilo Pallamin de Almeida, who worked as a Space Systems Engineer for the NanosatC-BR2 mission at INPE, the Brazilian Institute for Space Research, will present how CubeSat-based missions have been modeled with Capella. The model describing an initial architecture mission and concept of operations (CONOPS) is used to generate a script that configures a satellite simulator with the corresponding mission parameters.   Copyright INPE   You will see how it allows the INPE to: run concept of operations scenarios simulations, use the results for power/data-budget analyses and trade studies.   This Webinar was presented by Danilo Pallamin de Almeida MSc. Space Systems Engin...

Thursday, June 10, 2021, Obeo organized a Capella Webinar. This webinar has ended, but feel free to watch the recording.   Discover how MBSE is used on the Brazilian CubeSat development program. With two nanosatellites already in operation (NANOSATC-BR1 and NANOSATC-BR2), the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE-MCTI) is currently in the conceptual phase of a third mission (NANOSATC-BR3). Copyright MCTI-Brazil Giulia Herdies from the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil will present how the Capella tool and the Arcadia method are used in the second phase of the project, to develop the concept of this mission.   During this webinar, she will explain: Why the use of MBSE is vital for development of the conceptual phase, by allowing a global understanding of the mission by all involved. How stakeholders' needs and project restrictions were broken down within the operational, functional and physical aspects, which resulted in a preliminary ...
