Guess what? January is back!
And with January comes… the traditional unveiling of Capella’s new features!
The Capella development teams have once again been active on multiple fronts bringing Capella 1.4 features enhancements spanning from small quick wins to major improvements of core Capella foundations.
Discover both these evolutions and have general perspectives on the Capella ecosystem.
This webinar was driven by Juan Navas and Stéphane Bonnet:
Juan Navas is a confirmed systems' architect with both operational and research skills. He owns a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. qualification in Computer Science for Complex Systems and has an experience in management of industrial R&D projects and in deployment of innovative engineering methodologies.
Stéphane Bonnet has led the development of Capella and has been an active contributor to the Arcadia model-based method for systems, hardware and software architectural design. In Thales, he is animating a wide community of modeling experts from all domains and countries to investigate low-maturity modeling topics, capture end-user needs, and orient method and workbench roadmaps.
Mastering modes and states is key to analyze the expected behavior and performance of a system in different spectrums of situations.
However, as systems and missions become more complex,
the combination of modes and states across system, subsystem, and component levels becomes exponential and jeopardizes this good understanding.
In this webinar, we will:
Present the original Arcadia / Capella approach for integrating the study of the impacts of modes and states in architectural design, both from methodological and tooling perspectives.
Explain the introduction of the concepts of “configurations” and “situations” as means to specify and analyze the system in specific contexts.
Equivalences and diffrences between SysML and Arcadia / CapellaObeo
The document is a presentation on equivalences and differences between SysML and Arcadia/Capella. It provides high-level positioning of the modeling languages and methods, outlines several diagram types that have similarities between SysML and Capella, and identifies three main differences. The presentation aims to help people understand how Capella relates to SysML while having a simpler learning curve for systems engineers.
In this webinar, we will:
Browse and demonstrate the most recent Capella evolutions,
including new table-based data edition and visualization, enhanced diagram ergonomics, new filtering add-on, advanced change tracking in Team for Capella, and others.
Provide a sneak peek on what is beyond version 1.3.

L'intervento di Daniele Radici al Faberlab dedicato alle tecniche di Business Design-
«Ho capito – racconta ancora il libero professionista – quanto sia spesso difficile misurare la validità di un progetto ascoltando semplicemente la voce innamorata dell’imprenditore che lo ha ideato. La vera sfida è che quel progetto porti valore a qualcuno e per capire se può decollare oppure no, è necessario portarlo a terra, misurarlo con intelligenza».
L’opposto del “segui il cuore”, per intenderci. «Un ottimo strumento per far questo è il Business Model Canvas, che con Crispy ho iniziato ad usare nelle startup. La validità di questo strumento sta nel fatto che rende visiva un’idea e la pone sotto stress. L’imprenditore deve così farsi delle domande, considerare delle ipotesi e poi validarle “uscendo dall’ufficio” (get out of the building, come si dice in gergo) e confrontandosi con ciò che fino ad un minuto prima aveva su carta». A questo punto due sono le reazioni possibili: o si cerca di adeguare il modello di business ascoltando la reazione del mercato, oppure si rimane fermi nella propria posizione, mantenendo una visione personale che però è molto rischiosa.

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: no concept of the System at this level.
- The System Analysis, where we define the contribution and scope of the System as a ‘black box’, identifying external interfaces, and top-level system functions.
- The Logical Architecture, where we break the System down into logical ‘blocks’ and decompose the functionality.
- The Physical Architecture, in which we define a (candidate) physical architecture, further decompose the functions, and deploy this functionality to the physical sub-systems, hardware, software and/or firmware.
In this talk, we acknowledge the strengths of the Arcadia framework, and the benefits it brings, whilst considering the need to tailor the generic viewpoints. We will provide examples of how we have adopted the generic Arcadia framework and further specified some of the viewpoints to meet the needs of our stakeholders. We will discuss future work looking at how we can translate these specialisations across other areas of the model. Finally, we will provide some suggestions and advice on tailoring views to meet your own needs and ensuring stakeholder engagement with the model.
CapellaDays2022 | Saratech | Interface Control Document Generation and Linkag...Obeo
Generation of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) using a model-based method has a number of advantages over text-based approaches. This paper describes the Python-based software that was written to automatically generate different versions of an ICD from a structure model in Capella. One use case for this approach is checking parts changes captured in the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) using a PLM tool. We demonstrate an automated workflow that links changes in the EBOM to a request to vet the change against the ICD. This presentation will discuss our rationale, approach, results, and lessons learned.
CapellaDays2022 | Politecnico di Milano | Interplanetary Space Mission as a r...Obeo
Systems engineering is an iterative approach traditionally applied one-way, from the definition of the user needs to the implementation of a solution that satisfies certain requirements and is constrained by cost and schedule. This presentation instead aims at exploring the educational benefits of applying the opposite practice, thus retrieving system and subsystem level requirements based on a solution already implemented and taking advantage of the MBSE possibilities to realize a model of the system according to the ARCADIA method and systems engineering approach, using the Capella MBSE Tool. This reverse-engineering process has been applied to a renowned Space mission, the ESA Mars Express satellite, whose goal is to investigate all aspects of the martian environment, including the subsurface, surface and atmosphere of the planet, in order to search for evidence of extinct or extant life. The uppermost goal of this project is to demonstrate the benefits for university students at a Master's level keen on systems engineering in implementing the Capella tool to retrieve the system architecture and the operational processes in a "reversed" strategy. In this work, students have been compelled to apply systems engineering processes to justify the design choices and exploit the already well-known missions and capabilities to build the architecture and functional chains as a starting point for the reverse engineering of the identified subsystems. The results prove it is possible, and also recommendable time-wise, to teach Space engineering and Systems engineering students by using this inverse approach, rather than the canonic one in which students have to design a whole mission from scratch.

Closing the gap between traditional engineering and digital-native model-based driven engineering requires helping engineers to embrace new techniques. Naval Group decided to tackle the following issues: lack of interoperability with other systems, lack of bridge between functional definitions in PID schemas and MBSE physical layers, lack of documenting cross-layers relationships for a specific object's type.
CapellaDays2022 | Thales | Stairway to heaven: Climbing the very first stepsObeo
1) The document discusses strategies for starting to implement model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and using the Capella modeling tool at Thales Avionics. It recommends strengthening fundamentals like vocabulary, demystifying MBSE and Capella, and promoting quick wins.
2) Examples of quick wins include using Capella to generate documentation from models and creating Python scripts to automatically extract content from models into tables.
3) The document emphasizes that every small step counts towards improving engineering practices through pragmatic adoption of MBSE and continuous improvement.

Development of high-tech systems is a complex task done by diverse specialists distributed across the globe. Reference architectures including a clear functional breakdowns can support them and support their decisions. This presentation proposes an approach to improve the development of advanced electron microscopes by using Capella as an authoritative source of information. To support design decisions, a Capella AddOn has been developed to obtain quantitative information, such as throughput numbers, for a particular workflow. First, we will illustrate how functional and system decompositions can be captured and serve as company-wide architecting assets to inform design decisions. Next, we will outline how simulating Capella models can bring valuable insights to modelers. During a demo, we’ll simulate Capella’s Functional chains using the open-source simulation tool POOSL (https://github.com/eclipse/poosl) , and visualize results using the freely available TRACE4CPS tool (https://www.eclipse.org/trace4cps/). Re-using functions from the reference architecture allows us reason about design aspects such as the relation between throughput and design choices about function allocation and parallelism.

Mind Game: You want to build a LEGO Mindstorms Factory for Toy Cars and you are Head of Factory Planning. You identify that your manufacturing planning team and your product design team don’t collaborate with each other, because they work in silos and speak different languages. Their progress is too slow and the results are not synchronized.
Imagine: You succeed in merging your experts into one interdisciplinary team where everyone is collaboratively working together – already in the early stages of the engineering cycle. And imagine they start to speak the same language. Doubtless, you would speed up your engineering process. Furthermore, you would also reach a synchronized global solution for your manufacturing system and to be produced toy cars, building bridges inside your organization.
But how? This has been introduced by Dr.-Ing. C. Sinnwell in February 2020 in her PhD-thesis. There, she published the latest version of a methodology referred to as “MBPE – Model-Based Production Engineering”. The MBPE-methodology is a new approach for the conceptual design of manufacturing systems based on early product information supported by MBSE using UML.
The presentation will spotlight the MBPE-methodology, explaining how to use MBSE in the context of interdisciplinary factory and manufacturing planning. Also, it will be shown, how the methodology could be adapted to be realized with Eclipse Capella instead of any UML-modeling tool, illustrated by an example on how to conceptualize and model a LEGO Mindstorms production line for Toy Cars.

Gestion applicative des données, un REX du Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale
Slides du webinaire IS Designer du Jeudi 10 Novembre 2022.
Une approche de modélisation et de
génération automatique avec IS Designer.
Le pôle de Versailles du Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale a utilisé l'outil open-source Information System Designer sur plusieurs projets à portée nationale pour modéliser les bases de données et les couches applicatives d'accès aux données (DAO).
Ce retour d'expérience sera présenté en détail lors de ce webinaire :
✔ la démarche mise en place,
✔ comment l'outil a été utilisé,
✔ les bénéfices constatés.
"Pour la dizaine de développeurs impliqués sur ces projets, la production automatique des Tests Unitaires a aussi permis de s'approprier plus facilement le socle technique, grâce à une approche par l'exemple, mais également d’avoir une assurance de non régression sur les fonctionnalités produites."
A common need in system architecture design is to verify that if the architect is correct and can satisfy its requirements.
Execution of system architect 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 introduced how to embed Python or MATLAB® codes inside functions to do “simulation” within Capella.
From Model-based to Model and Simulation-based Systems ArchitecturesObeo
Achieving quality engineering through descriptive and analytical models
Systems architecture design is a key activity that affect the
overall systems engineering cost. It is hence fundamental
to ensure that the system architecture reaches a proper quality.
In this paper, we leverage on MBSE approaches and complement them
with simulation techniques, as a prom-ising way to improve the quality of the system architecture definition, and to come up with inno-vative solutions while securing the systems engineering process.

Visualizing, Analyzing and Optimizing Automotive Architecture Models using Sirius
Advancing digitalization affects almost all aspects of our modern world. A prominent example is that of modern automobiles. From primarily mechanical machines, cars have evolved into driving complex cyber-physical systems over the last decades. Optimizing such systems consisting of vast networks of sensors, actuators, control units, and communication systems is a huge challenge for today's automotive industry and requires standardized and integrated toolchains fit for purpose. Together with a prestigious automotive industry partner, the Technical University of Ilmenau developed an application together with an integrated toolchain for evaluating and optimizing automotive architecture models. This application is based on the Obeo Sirius project as well as the Eclipse Modeling Framework. Based on Sirius, we created a model editor which is used for visualizing, editing, but also analyzing and optimizing automotive models across the boundaries of different architectural layers.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
