About This Release

Why SysML v2?

We chose SysML v2 for our modeler because we believe that it will be significantly easier to learn, easier to use, and more powerful than SysML v1. Compared to SysML v1, SysML v2 was designed to be:

• More precise
• More expressive
• More intuitive and regular
• More consistent
• Have better interoperability with other engineering models and tools

SysML v2 is grounded in formal semantics and includes a very powerful API.

Note that SysML v2 is a completely new language compared to SysML v1, not a minor evolution. This means that there will be some important differences between the new modeler and older modelers that you may have used before, such as Cameo, Rhapsody, EnterpriseArchitect, and SCADE Architect.

The standardization and definition of the SysML v2 language is still in a state of development, with not all aspects of the language completely defined. For more information about SysML v2, including a comparison to SysML v1, refer to this document.

Key Differences in SysML v2

As you begin working in the new modeler, you will notice some obvious differences from previous SysML v1.x modelers due to differences in the new language. While details are given in the guide listed above, see the Appendix for an outline of the essential differences.

Key Characteristics of the Ansys SAM

Cloud-based Ansys SAM will be capable of being installed on a public cloud such as AWS or Azure, or installed on an on-premises server. It will be accessible to any user from a standard web browser (if they have the proper log-in credentials and permissions). This means that our modeler will be scalable to a large number of users.

Real-Time Collaboration A key feature of Ansys SAM is real-time collaboration. Multiple users will be able to work on model development at the same time, and each user will be able to see in real time what other users are doing.
