System architectures developed using modeling languages like SysML or UAFML are typically crafted by specialists with in-depth knowledge of systems engineering and modeling methodologies. While these architectures provide a detailed blueprint for complex systems, one of the main challenges is democratizing this information so that it can be accessible and understandable to all stakeholders, including those without specialized technical backgrounds. This democratization process is essential for ensuring broad stakeholder communication and engagement, which is critical for successful project outcomes. Additionally, effective management of system architecture requires the implementation of metrics that can provide insight into the monitoring of the architecture development progress and the management of complexity, and provide support for decision-making. This workshop demonstrates the value of data intelligence technology to build dashboards to explore, manage and monitor complex systems.

CATIA No Magic and CATIA are industry leaders in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD), respectively. MBSE improves system design through structured processes, enhancing traceability, integration, and team collaboration. In contrast, 3D Mechanical Design focuses on creating and simulating physical objects with CAD software. Integrating MBSE with CAD ensures better design accuracy, improved communication between systems and design engineers, and faster development. A major challenge is the manual translation of natural-language Requirements into 3D CAD Parameters, which can lead to errors and delays. Automating this connection reduces inconsistencies, improves design accuracy, and accelerates development. This presentation discusses the tools and methodologies to automate linking MBSE Requirements to 3D CAD Parameters, highlighting the benefits of a unified digital thread and strategies to overcome integration challenges.

Failure Mode Avoidance (FMA) consists of well-defined processes to identify and analyze potential failures of a product. Safety and quality experts use Boundary Diagrams, Interface Analysis, P-Diagrams, Robustness Check Lists, and FMEA tables for safety and reliability analyses. In current practices, analyses remain disconnected from product models and design, making it challenging to maintain traceability and synchronization between the analyses and the evolving data. SysML and a model-based approach enable safety analyses directly on models at the architecture level. As models evolve, the analyses remain up to date with the system architecture, while also allowing for efficient collaboration between systems and safety experts.  The Risk Analysis and Assessment Modeling Language (RAAML) extends SysML to standardize model-based safety and reliability analyses. This paper presents the CATIA Magic FMA plugin, based on the RAAML standard, enhancing CATIA Magic with powerful features for FMA activities.
