Witnessing an OSS technology getting together with a wide group of users is something I find exhilarating, I have experienced it with Acceleo, EMF Compare and Eclipse Sirius along the years, each time in different contexts and at different scales but discovering what is being done by others with a technology is always a source of excitement to me. Capella was contributed by Thales to the Eclipse c...

The third edition of the Capella Day conference is approaching fast! This year it will take place in the beautiful city of Munich (München for our German friends), on September 16th (see http://bit.ly/CapellaDay2019 ). Interested in MBSE? Once again this year, Capella Day will be the opportunity to discover Capella and Arcadia if you’re new to them, but also to get in touch with the experts and he...

You might have already heard the news, earlier this week during Siemens PLM Connection Americas 2018 , Joe Bohman announced that Siemens PLM was partnering with Obeo. Here is the complete press release for more detail but in short: we are working with Siemens with either standard modeling languages, Capella, SysML or tools to support custom process methodologies in order to contribute to the true ...

When Capella was made open source in 2014, feedback was collected from early users and adopters. The feedback showed several topics were important to the open source community. First and foremost, users wanted to learn how to efficiently collaborate on a single Capella model and minimize configuration and version management problems. Second, users wanted to generate their documentation efficiently...

As the state-of-the-art engineering tool vendors did not provide the appropriate offer, Thales decided in 2007 to develop its own Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) method and workbench. This initiative resulted in Arcadia and Capella. To reduce the complexity and the cost of developing such a custom modeling tool, Thales worked with Obeo to create a new technology that could facilitate the cr...

Capella is a model-based engineering solution that leverages the Eclipse platform to implement an adaptable and extensible workbench. Natively supporting an innovative Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach based on both industrial experimentations and system engineers’ feedback, it can be customized to fit the specific needs of many industrial domains. Made open source in 2014, a vibrant...

In a world moving at an ever faster pace, Capella is an open and field-proven approach to address increasing complexity in systems architecture and solve the limitations of traditional engineering practices that are primarily driven by documents. Launched in 2007 by Thales, this initiative resulted in the definition of Arcadia, an engineering metho...
