    Astah SysML

    Astah SysML

    Change Vision, Inc.

    Astah SysML is a SysML v1 modeling tool for systems engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE), developed by Change Vision, Inc. It supports block definition, internal block, requirement, parametric, use case, state machine, activity, and sequence diagrams, plus requirement tables and mind maps. Designs are stored as models, so a change to a block or requirement is reflected in every diagram that uses it. Profiles, XMI import/export, and data exchange with Cameo Systems Modeler are supported. AI Chat Copilot works with your own API key for OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or an OpenAI-compatible service, and a local MCP server lets external AI agents work with your models. Astah SysML runs on Windows and macOS. Simulation is not included. A 20-day free trial is available. For SysML v2, Change Vision offers separate products that run as Visual Studio Code extensions: SysMLv2 Editor and SysMLv2 Modeler (early access).

    Astah System Safety

    Astah System Safety

    Change Vision, Inc.

    Astah System Safety is a model-based safety analysis tool for safety-critical systems, developed by Change Vision, Inc. It combines SysML modeling with STAMP/STPA hazard analysis, GSN (Goal Structuring Notation) assurance cases, ASAM SCDL, and UAF in one tool. Safety analyses are linked to the system model, so control structures, hazards, and safety arguments stay traceable to requirements and architecture. It is used by safety engineers in automotive, aerospace, and embedded systems, including safety-case work for standards such as ISO 26262. AI Chat Copilot works with your own API key for OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or an OpenAI-compatible service, and a local MCP server connects external AI agents to your models. Models can be exchanged through XMI and with Cameo Systems Modeler. Astah System Safety runs on Windows and macOS. FTA and FMEA are not included. A 40-day free trial is available.

    PTC Model-Based Systems Engineering
    A blast of brilliant, associated items is influencing the building to process more perplexing. This multifaceted nature implies more partners from numerous designing areas should be included. With these different areas comes a blend of dialects, devices, and databases. To bring together partners, associations are receiving model-based frameworks building (MBSE) systems as a major aspect of their application lifecycle exercises that offer a typical, visual dialect and organized designing methodology. Solutions from PTC provide a collaborative, visual approach for better communication, clarity, and maintainability of all product data. MBSE applies modeling, tools, and methods to improve your systems engineering programs and projects, spurring technological innovation and positively impacting costs and productivity. Quality and regulatory compliance is also improved as risks are discovered and mitigated sooner.

    SysMLv2 Editor

    SysMLv2 Editor

    Change Vision, Inc.

    SysMLv2 Editor is a Visual Studio Code extension for writing SysML v2 models in the textual notation, developed by Change Vision, Inc. Models are plain .sysml files, so they can be tracked in Git, compared in pull requests, and reviewed alongside source code. Features include syntax highlighting, real-time validation against the SysML v2 grammar, navigate to definition, an outline view, and diagram generation for reviewing structure and behavior. Diagrams are read-only; editing happens in the text. For editing directly on diagrams, Change Vision offers SysMLv2 Modeler (early access). SysMLv2 Editor runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is included with an Astah SysML, Astah System Safety, or Astah Faculty Site License, with no separate purchase, and a 20-day free trial is available. It does not import SysML v1 models from Astah SysML.
