In 2018, Dassault Systèmes acquired No Magic Inc., bringing their Cameo and MagicDraw products under the CATIA brand. Long championed by the aerospace and defense industries, the No Magic MBSE suite continues its development and market leadership as “CATIA No Magic”. This software portfolio includes MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, Teamwork Cloud, and a host of modular add-ons.
GoEngineer’s world-class customer care is now available to CATIA/No Magic MBSE customers. Whether you are an experienced Cameo/MagicDraw user or just getting started with MBSE, GoEngineer can help.
Fraught management, poor visibility and communication, frequent design changes, lack of coordination, surprise issues that are hard to track down and solve – these are the costly effects of document-based systems engineering in a changing world.
Learn more about why model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is the solution on our CATIA Magic page. CATIA Magic is the modern repackaging of the following No Magic tools for MBSE newcomers.
By adopting Cameo and MagicDraw for MBSE, companies can experience a significant boost in efficiency. The front-loaded model-centric approach streamlines processes, reduces errors, improves coordination, and provides traceability, ultimately saving time and resources later on in development.
Break down communication barriers within your team. The No Magic portfolio facilitates collaboration by providing a unified platform where otherwise-isolated engineers, designers, and stakeholders can integrate their work into a model of the functional whole.
The multidisciplinary model stays in-sync with development so that reliable validation of requirements and performance can be done early and virtually.
Make well-informed decisions throughout the project life cycle. The integrated simulations, analyses, and traceability features empower you to assess the impact of decisions, ensuring that you stay on track and in compliance with project requirements.
Cameo and MagicDraw enable you to create flexible and adaptable designs. Future changes and upgrades become more manageable as the system models capture the intricacies of the “what” and “why” of your design, making it easier to modify and scale as needed.
The MagicGrid Book of Knowledge is a comprehensive guide to the MagicGrid framework to MBSE.
Illustrated using the easy-to-understand model of a real-world system, it is an answer to all the questions you may have, starting from “why” and ending with “how”, which few of today’s available sources of information can answer.
The No Magic portfolio provides a unified collaboration environment, where multidisciplinary teams seamlessly work together. MBSE facilitates communication by creating a common language for all stakeholders, eliminating silos, and enhancing cross-disciplinary cooperation.
Cameo MBSE emphasizes using models as the central hub for information, enabling a more visual and intuitive representation of complex systems. This approach enhances understanding, reduces errors, and accelerates decision-making processes.
Create holistic and detailed models of your systems, covering everything from requirements and architecture to behavior and parametric analysis. With Cameo MBSE, you can model the entire system life cycle, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and control over your project.
Unleash the power of simulations and analysis directly within your models. Validate system behavior, analyze performance, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Cameo MBSE's integrated simulation capabilities provide real-time insights, enabling you to make informed decisions at every stage of the development process.
Maintain complete traceability across your projects. Cameo MBSE allows you to trace requirements, changes, and dependencies, ensuring transparency and accountability. Conduct impact analyses effortlessly to understand the repercussions of any modification on the entire system.

Learn how engineering-driven manufacturers like aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin and shipbuilder thyssenkrupp are using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to manage and simplify complexity in product development.
In this white paper, discover the many benefits of MBSE, including how a “systems of systems” approach simplifies engineering complexities between mechanical, electrical, software, and other functions using a unified modeling language such as SysML. One standard language simplifies problem definition and agreement on a solution(s).
