Intro to Cameo Collaborator Cameo Collaborator is a new product MagicDraw core team has been working on since April, 2014. It helps team members to review their work by connecting model authors, reviewers, and stakeholders on the web. I am excited to share the information that we have just released the second Alpha version of […]
We continue our series of presentations on No Magic, Inc. products and the different domains they cover. This is a one hour long overview of Cameo Business Modeler product that provides BPMN 2.0 modeling capabilities. At No Magic we believe that the Business Analysts should have products dedicated to their needs. Cameo Business Modeler product […]
JPL NASA is successfully applying MBSE to real project systems engineering problems across a wide landscape of project types, activities and lifecycle phases. Approximately 20 development tasks are applying MBSE at JPL across the full lifecycle. JPL’s Mission for NASA is Robotics space exploration in following areas: Mars, Solar system, Exoplanets, Astrophysics, Earth Science, and […]
This poster focuses on the trends in UML simulation toolkits where tools interpret models instead of relying on generated code. This is an important development since it requires minimal configuration, can be used earlier in thelifecycle and can evolve as the design matures. Poster was presented at 2011 IV&V Annual Workshop by Tom Gullion http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ivv/workshops/ivvworkshop_2011.html#.VDxMvRak-8Q
CubeSats are a class of research spacecraft called nano satellites. The cube-shaped satellites are approximately: 10 cm long, have a volume of about 946 cm3, weigh about 1.4 kg. CubeSats are flown as auxiliary payloads on previously planned missions. MBSE for CubeSat: Generic CubeSat Reference Model and Simulation Challenge How do satellite states evolve throughout […]
We see the ongoing evolution of railway systems: rail vehicle and infrastructure-related systems manufacturers, transport and logistics companies, industry consultants, they all are pushing technology ahead with innovations. In order to ensure that the rail system will meet the future challenges, all of the above parties have to work together. Especially considering a safety-critical environment […]
Many systems exist in different configurations. A product line, a custom product or different designs for trade-off studies. The current version 1.2 of SysML doesn’t provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. The profile mechanis of SysML can be used to extend SysML with a concept for variant modeling. I’ve defined a simple variant […]
No Magic constantly strives to ensure that our users get the best modeling, analysis, and simulation solutions in the market. No Magic, Inc. conducted this research with system engineering (MagicDraw for SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler) clients. Representatives from some of the largest systems engineering companies around the globe (NASA, Raykiel, Konecranes Plc, Bombardier Transportation, […]
Many companies deal with the challenge to introduce MBSE. As a consultant for MBSE I often ask my customer about their objectives to apply MBSE techniques. The answers are more or less the same: the systems are getting more complex and at the same time we must decrease costs and time-to-market and increase the quality. […]
No Magic, Inc. is pleased to share this video presenting MagicDraw 18.0 LTR released on June 2, 2014. The new Long-Term Release not only significantly increases modeling productivity, it also introduces new usage scenarios of our products to help your businesses or your clients’ businesses to operate more efficiently. The video present highlights of the […]
What is the most popular MBSE modeling method? What metrics are actually used and what value do they bring? What Modeling tools are used? What was the primary purpose of the model? Those and more than 50 additional questions (including open-ended responses) were provided by a sample of respondents from the system engineering community. The […]
SLIM (Systems LIfecycle Management) is a software environment for integrated model-based systems engineering, founded on SysML (OMG Systems Modeling Language) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) toolsets. With this approach, system engineers can develop and manage the high-level architecture of a system/product in SysML and simultaneously connect, communicate, and sync with detailed requirements, parts (bill of materials and […]
First let me start with a simple analogy. Let’s first imagine a real orchestra. What would it sound like without a conductor, likely resulting in just a lot of annoying noise? By adding a conductor what was annoying can quickly become very enjoyable. Now we get a bit more techie but remember the role the […]
Interview and Survey of the Most Reputable Book Authors. MagicDraw is a business process, architecture, software and systems modeling tool. It is one of the most popular UML and SysML tools in the market. It has been available since 1998 and has over 500,000 installations in 10,000 companies in 90 countries. More and more books, […]
For the past five years No Magic has been engaged in the research and development of our next generation repository for collaborative development and versioned storage of models. We have adopted a long term perspective in this work, because we anticipate that the next decade will see a significant increase in the scale of models […]
