Capella

Capella is an open-source Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) software tool that utilizes a field-proven language and method to successfully design the architecture of complex systems. It serves as an industrial-grade MBSE workbench, offering methodological guidance, intuitive model editing, and viewing capabilities for Systems, Software, and Hardware Architects.

Capella relies on Arcadia, a field-proven model-based methodology that covers each engineering phase. The tool is customizable, open, and scalable, allowing adaptation to your specific engineering approach and integration with existing tools. It has been successfully deployed on concrete projects across numerous industrial sectors, including aerospace, energy, and transportation.

Extend Capella's capabilities with ready-to-use extensions for requirements management, collaboration, safety, and more. Obeo provides support for deploying MBSE in your enterprise, extending, tailoring, and integrating Capella to meet your specific needs.

Discover the ecosystem of plugins and add-ons to further enhance Capella's power, enabling team collaboration, system breakdown, and documentation generation. Two books are available to thoroughly describe the Arcadia method and the Capella tool, providing both theoretical foundations and practical guidance. Case studies from leading companies like Rolls Royce, ArianeGroup, and CNES demonstrate Capella's effectiveness in real-world applications.
