CATIA No Magic
The Model-Based Systems Engineering Portfolio from MagicDraw/Cameo
Product development is becoming more and more challenging, thanks to the rising complexity of competitive innovation for global markets. Fraught management, poor visibility and communication, frequent design changes, lack of coordination, surprise issues that are hard to track down and solve – these problems are a serious source of cost and delay for companies trying to maintain a document-based systems engineering approach in a changing world.
How Complex Systems Engineering Gets Done.
This is where MBSE, or model-based systems engineering, can prove to be transformative. By adopting a unified systems modeling approach using the CATIA No Magic portfolio of MBSE software, companies can improve cross-function collaboration, engineering decision making, end-to-end traceability, and, ultimately, quality and time to market.
The CATIA No Magic portfolio includes the MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, and Teamwork Cloud solutions.
Benefits of MBSE with CATIA No Magic
Increased Efficiency
By adopting CATIA No Magic and MBSE, companies can experience a significant boost in efficiency. The front-loaded model-centric approach streamlines processes, reduces errors, improves coordination, and provides traceability, ultimately saving time and resources later on in development.
Improved Collaboration
Break down communication barriers within your team. CATIA No Magic facilitates collaboration by providing a unified platform where otherwise-isolated engineers, designers, and stakeholders can integrate their work into a model of the functional whole.
The multidisciplinary model stays in-sync with development so that reliable validation of requirements and performance can be done early and virtually.
Enhanced Decision Making
Make well-informed decisions throughout the project life cycle. The integrated simulations, analyses, and traceability features empower you to assess the impact of decisions, ensuring that you stay on track and in compliance with project requirements.
Future-Proof Your Designs
CATIA No Magic and MBSE enable you to create flexible and adaptable designs. Future changes and upgrades become more manageable as the system models capture the intricacies of the “what” and “why” of your design, making it easier to modify and scale as needed.
A Practical Guide to Systems Modeling
MagicGrid® BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE
The MagicGrid Book of Knowledge is a comprehensive guide to the CATIA MagicGrid framework to MBSE.
Illustrated using the easy-to-understand model of a real-world system, it is an answer to all the questions you may have, starting from “why” and ending with “how”, which few of today’s available sources of information can answer.
Key Features of CATIA No Magic
Unified Collaboration
CATIA No Magic provides a unified collaboration environment, where multidisciplinary teams seamlessly work together. MBSE facilitates communication by creating a common language for all stakeholders, eliminating silos, and enhancing cross-disciplinary cooperation.
Model-Centric Approach
CATIA No Magic emphasizes using models as the central hub for information, enabling a more visual and intuitive representation of complex systems. This approach enhances understanding, reduces errors, and accelerates decision-making processes.
Comprehensive System Modeling
Create holistic and detailed models of your systems, covering everything from requirements and architecture to behavior and parametric analysis. With CATIA No Magic, you can model the entire system life cycle, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and control over your project.
Simulations and Analysis
Unleash the power of simulations and analysis directly within your models. Validate system behavior, analyze performance, and ensure compliance with industry standards. CATIA No Magic's integrated simulation capabilities provide real-time insights, enabling you to make informed decisions at every stage of the development process.
Traceability and Impact Analysis
Maintain complete traceability across your projects. CATIA No Magic allows you to trace requirements, changes, and dependencies, ensuring transparency and accountability. Conduct impact analyses effortlessly to understand the repercussions of any modification on the entire system.
