WHAT IS PUBLISHER FOR UNICOM SYSTEM ARCHITECT?

The only automated bridge between UNICOM System Architect and Cameo Systems Modeler

UNICOM System Architect is a powerful enterprise architecture tool widely used in defense, aerospace, and government programs. When your program transitions to Cameo Systems Modeler (formerly NoMagic MagicDraw) whether it is driven by MBSE adoption, contract requirements, or tool standardization, you face the challenge of migrating years of model investment.

Publisher for UNICOM System Architect solves this problem. It reads your System Architect encyclopedia, applies a precise model-to-model transformation, and delivers a ready-to-use .mdzip file for Cameo Systems Modeler or MagicDraw.

What model types from UNICOM System Architect can be converted?
Publisher supports three encyclopedia types from UNICOM System Architect:
  • DoDAF 2.0: converted to UPDM 2.1 in Cameo, covering all major viewpoints (AV, CV, OV, SV, SvcV, DIV, PV)
  • DoDAF 1.5 also converted to UPDM 2.1, with SysML Requirement transformation included
  • UML: eight diagram types converted (Class, Activity, Sequence, State, Use Case, Component, Collaboration, Deployment)
  • UPDM → UAF: UPDM models from System Architect can be published to Cameo UAF
Encyclopedias using other frameworks (NAF, etc.) are not supported. The encyclopedia must contain at least one DoDAF 2.0, DoDAF 1.5, or UML diagram to trigger a transformation.
