What is MBSE?
CATIA Magic uses model-based systems engineering to empower companies to formalize the application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation.
This begins at the conceptual design phase, continues throughout the product development cycle, and into the lifecycle phases, ensuring a full, end-to-end connected process for systems engineering.
MBSE allows for a set of visual representations based on a consistent and complete system model, which reflects multiple viewpoints of the system. These representations can be either static or dynamic (simulation), descriptive or predictive. It improves understanding, early in the development phase, system behavior as a functional digital twin of the product.
What are the benefits of MBSE?
- Better understanding of the mission, scenarios, and stakeholder needs.
- Helps to define a consistent and complete system specification for the product designers through behavioral and structural analysis.
- Specify with accuracy not only the static description of the interfaces, usually described in requirements but also the dynamic exchange of the interfaces that is inherent to complex systems.
- Prevent costly late rework by understanding system behavior upfront, before prototypes are available.
- Support cross-disciplinary collaboration around a system model based on dedicated views per engineering concern.

Model-Based Systems Engineering Resources
Robust and Proven Software
From No-Magic to CATIA Magic
In 2018, Dassault Systèmes completed the acquisition of No Magic (the leader in model-based systems engineering, and modeling solutions for software architecture and business processes) to strengthen its foothold in Systems Engineering and in order to facilitate new connected experiences.
The No Magic solutions are integrated on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to develop a best-in-class Model-based System Engineering and System of Systems Engineering solution and offering called CATIA Magic. The CATIA Magic solutions are the most robust and standards compliant MBSE solutions in the market.

Magic System of Systems Architect
The Magic System of Systems Architect package fully supports all the architectural framework, while leading the integration of systems of systems engineering, ensuring that you achieve net-centric success.
Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer
The Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer package provides smart, robust, and intuitive tools to define, track, and visualize all aspects of systems.
This package enables systems engineers to run engineering analysis for design decisions evaluation and requirements verification.
Magic Software Architect
The Magic Software Architect package facilitates analysis and design of Object Oriented (OO) systems and database and provides the industry's best code engineering mechanism, as well as database schema modeling, DDL generation and reverse engineering facilities.
Magic Model Analyst
The Magic Model Analyst package is the first industry extendable model execution framework based on OMG fUML and W3C SCXML standards.
This package allows users to virtually predict system behavior and analyze the system for completeness, consistency, traceability, and contradiction checking.
Magic ALF Analyst
Magic ALF Analyst allows users to create fully executable code using Alf (the Action Language for Foundation UML).
This plug-in provides both a syntax-aware editor for entering and updating Alf code, and a compiler for translating Alf code into fUML activity models.
Magic Real-Time Communication Designer
Our Magic Real-Time Communication Designer is a powerful digital continuity and integration tool for MBSE projects. This package enables engineers to be provided with a common view of the system ensuring a single source of (data) truth across the project.
CATIA Magic Collaboration Studio
Lifecycle and Collaboration Services for UAF/SYSML/UML Models
The Magic Collaboration Studio package allows for collaborative development and version model storage for large volume of data. It is architected to provide state-of-the-art model-governance (merging, branching, access control with secured connection), model analysis and integration with third-party tools.
Key Benefits:
- Ensure seamless large-scale system of systems/system/software architecture definition with distributed teams.
- Provide digital collaboration on the architectures among stakeholders by enabling parallel modeling.
- Supports users work on-line and off-line.
- Track and review modifications on published architectures on the web.
