Back from MODELS 2026: AI and the Future of Systems Engineering

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...

SysON 2026.7 & 2026.9: Richer SysML v2 Modeling, from Expressions to Requirements

SysON 2026.7 and 2026.9 continue to expand SysML v2 modeling capabilities while making everyday modeling more fluid and expressive. Across these two releases, we improved expression editing, behavioral and requirements modeling, expanded the range of SysML v2 concepts available in diagrams, and made diagrams more representative of the complete model. These releases also highlight the growing invol...

When Capella Meets Simulink®

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...

Capella for SysON: Towards the Next Generation of Capella

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: A New Era Begins

 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...

MBSE for Software-Defined Vehicles: Enriching a code-first platform with System Architecture

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...
