SysON aims at full compliance with the SysML v2 specification. SysON already implements the OMG SysML v2 metamodel, including both a built-in SysML v2 and KerML implementation.

SysON aims at full compliance with the Systems Modeling API & Services specification.

As a web application, SysON is inherently collaborative. However, it doesn’t include a built-in Configuration Management (CM) tool. We believe that organizations and users should have the freedom to choose their preferred CM tools, and SysON is designed to be flexible enough to integrate with them. For those requiring professional support, we recommend referring to the Professional support page for information about how to .

To create a new model, read the Create a new model section in the user manual.

SysON is free and open source, it’s already available to try, see installation guide.

SysON is an open source project, and as such, there is no planned commercial version directly from the project itself. The focus is on fostering an open and collaborative development environment. The project provides updates and fixes on a best-effort basis, specifically targeting the latest release.

For those requiring professional support, we recommend referring to the Professional support page for information about how to obtain customized solutions and services that meet your specific needs.

No.

You can find and contribute to the best-practices page in the documentation.

To learn more about SysML v2 modeling and best practices, explore the official SysML v2 website from the OMG, join the SysON online community, and consider attending webinars and industry conferences. For hands-on learning, check out the SysON tutorials and for more detailed guidance, refer to professional support options.

SysON is a web application that can be accessed from mobile devices; however,it’s optimized for use with a minimum screen resolution of 1024 * 768 in a maximized browser window. See Prerequisites for more details.

SysON doesn’t include built-in version control, allowing users to integrate their preferred solutions. For more details, see Version control and change management.

Yes, refer to the scaling limits page for more details.

Read the user-manual:integration/interoperability.adoc#import-export section of the documentation.

Read the Collaborative modeling page of the documentation.

SysON supports import and export with the textual notation. Certain information within SysON can be edited by using the textual notation. The team is currently working on integrating SysON with SysIDE, an open source textual editor for the SysML v2 syntax.

To import /export models, read the Interoperability section in the user manual.

Read the Collaborative modeling section to learn more about how to collaborate using SysON.

The intent is to be fully compatible with the SysML v2 standard ensuring that models can be shared using the SysML v2 textual notation and the SysML v2 API.

SysON is a pure SysML v2 player. Currently, SysML v1 models can’t coexist within SysON, but coexistence might be possible within your SysML v1 tool.

SysON is a specialized tool for SysML v2, focusing on the latest standards and methodologies, offering robust compatibility with SysML v2 through features such as textual notation support for model import/export, full compliance with the SysML v2 API for seamless integration with other tools, and ongoing integration efforts with Capella for enhanced model interoperability.

SysON is designed to be a specialized tool for SysML v2, focusing on the latest standards and methodologies. Currently, as an open source product, SysON is primarily focused on ensuring robust compatibility within the SysML v2 ecosystem. This includes integration capabilities such as:

This will enable users to leverage SysON’s SysML v2 capabilities alongside Capella’s powerful system architecture modeling tools, ensuring model interoperability.

While addressing SysML v1 model support is currently beyond the scope of SysON, we acknowledge its potential as a valuable extension for the tool. We’re open to collaborations with individuals or organizations interested in contributing to such extensions. We invite those who share our vision and are committed to enhancing SysON’s capabilities to contact us to discuss potential partnerships.
