At MODELS 2026, I had the opportunity to deliver a keynote titled "Your AI Agent Needs a Model" , exploring how AI agents can interact with engineering models to support systems engineering activities. The central message was simple: AI becomes more useful for engineering when it can understand and interact with structured models , rather than relying solely on documents and unstructured informati...

What if your Capella architecture could go straight into simulation? If you’ve ever designed a system architecture in Capella and wished you could simply press play to see how it behaves, let’s discover the Capella-Simulink® Connector 0.2.0 . As a result of a joint effort between Obeo and Thales , this connector is now available in Open Source . The Capella-Simulink Connector creates a practical b...

For more than a decade, the MBSE Capella tool and the Arcadia method have helped systems engineers address the complexity of designing large and critical systems. Today, the systems engineering landscape is entering a new phase, shaped by two major evolutions: the emergence of SysML v2 and the growing adoption of web-based engineering environments. At Obeo, we believe that the principles that made...

 Capella 7.1.0 is more than a new release. It marks the first concrete milestone since Obeo strengthened its commitment to Capella and became actively involved in shaping and developing its future. Today we are proud to unveil the first results of this new momentum: Capella 7.1.0 , bringing stronger foundations and new capabilities to the platform, together with the Capella-Simulink® Connector Add...

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Vehicles are increasingly defined by software, data, and connected services rather than mechanical systems alone. This evolution toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) is reshaping how vehicles are designed, developed, and maintained. Eclipse SDV  is one of the leading open source initiatives supporting this transformation. By bringi...

From enhanced navigation and smarter project organization to advanced version control foundations, this evolution of Publication for Capella 2026.5 focuses on improving productivity while simplifying projects management . Whether you are a model designer, project contributor, or server administrator, these enhancements provide a more intuitive and efficient experience across the entire tool. Smoot...

Over the last months, we have been experimenting with how AI could be useful in real Capella workflows. One point became clear very quickly: the value is not in letting AI “ do systems engineering ”, but in helping engineers interact more efficiently with models, while keeping control of engineering decisions. In systems engineering, decisions require expertise, judgment, responsibility, and colla...
