Tailor-made transfer between Capella and SysML tools

SysML Bridge for Capella is a service offering for developing a custom software connector that automatically transforms Capella models into SysML (and vice versa) according to rules adapted to your context.

Exchange

Keep working with Capella while providing/receiving SysML models to/from your partners, customers or suppliers who are working with a SysML tool.

Migrate

Initialize your Capella project by automatically importing an existing SysML model, rather than translating and re-entering the model manually.

Connect

Connect Capella with SysML-compliant engineering tools to set up a digital thread based on an MBSE downstream engineering approach.

Transformation rules

The default transformation rules implemented by SysML Bridge for Capella are inspired by the equivalences explained on Capella website.

Using native SysML concepts as much as possible, the rules are bi-directional.

It means that SysML files exported in an XMI standard format from Capella can be re-imported into Capella.

Because any organization using SysML has specific modeling practices (package organization, profiles, etc), these rules must be adapted.

With SysML Bridge for Capella, new rules can be created, replace existing rules, or override them.
