MBSE with SysML & CATIA Magic Cyber Systems Engineer
Abstract
This training program is designed for systems engineers seeking to transition into Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Participants will acquire fundamental knowledge and practical skills in effectively modeling complex systems using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML 1.6) and CATIA Magic Cyber Systems Engineer from Dassault Systèmes.
Recognizing that SysML and tools like CATIA Magic are only as effective as the method behind their application, this training follows Dassault Systèmes' MagicGrid methodology. The methodology ensures every training step and SysML practice is firmly rooted in the actual activities of a Systems Engineer. Participants will learn to bridge the gap between theory and application, enabling them to align their modeling efforts with real-world engineering processes.
Throughout the program, attendees will explore the rationale for MBSE, master SysML concepts and diagrams, and apply advanced CATIA Magic features, such as Tables, Matrices, Relation Maps and how to validate a design against requirements using model execution on all SysML’s four pillars to validate system requirements.
This training assumes attendees have a foundational understanding of the Systems Engineering process, as it focuses on learning the language and tool rather than exploring the rationale behind SE activities.

Agenda
Day 1
Establishes the foundations by answering key questions:
Why MBSE? and What is MBSE? Participants will be introduced to the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and CATIA Magic Cyber Systems Engineer. The module explores what is MBSE frameworks, emphasizing the MagicGrid methodology, and highlights the importance of cultural change management in an MBSE transformation. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will create their first model and organize it using packages.
Module 1
Focuses on the integration of requirements and models, bridging the gap between stakeholder needs and system design. Participants will explore how to model Stakeholder Needs using Requirement diagrams. The module also covers defining the System Context through Block Definition Diagrams and Internal Block Diagrams, and capturing system functionalities and interactions using Use Cases.
Module 2
Day 2
This module deepens the understanding of system interactions and structure. Participants will learn to detail Use Cases using Activities and continue refining the System Context through Block Definition Diagrams and Internal Block Diagrams.
Module 3
Focuses on analyzing system functions and developing conceptual designs. Participants will perform Functional Analysis using Activity diagrams, define Conceptual Systems with Block Definition Diagrams and Internal Block Diagrams, and allocate functions to system components. Additionally, they will learn to specify and model system interfaces, ensuring consistency and integration across the system, in both behavioral and structural aspects.
Module 4
Day 3
This module emphasizes the importance of traceability in MBSE, teaching participants how to link models element to Stakeholder Needs using requirement diagrams and matrices. Attendees will be introduced to the MagicGrid Solution Domain and will model System Requirements, System Structure using Block Definition Diagrams, and System Behavior through State Machines and Activity diagrams. This ensures alignment between requirements, structure, and behavior for a robust system design.
Module 5
Participants learn how to execute both the structural and behavioral aspects of a system to verify their integration and consistency. By simulating interactions between structure and behavior, attendees will gain insights into the system's design, ensuring alignment with modeled requirements and preparing for later validation activities.
Module 6
Day 4
This module introduces participants to modeling Parametrics in SysML and their role in system design. Attendees will learn to verify requirements by executing models that integrate structure, behavior, and parameters, effectively linking all four pillars of SysML. The focus is on ensuring consistency and traceability across the model to support rigorous requirements verification.
Module 7
Focuses on using structured expressions to query models effectively. Participants will learn how to apply these queries to Tables, Matrices, and Maps to perform impact analysis. Additionally, the session provides buffer time to consolidate learning, address questions.
