PivotPoint FAQ: How can I choose between Cameo System Modeler & Cameo Enterprise Architecture modeling tools?

Cameo Systems Modeler™ and Cameo Enterprise Architecture™ are SysML-compliant architectural modeling tools offered by the No Magic Inc. subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes that are targeted at Systems Engineering practicing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) with the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). Note that Cameo is a rebranding of MagicDraw, No Magic's flagship UML tool for software-intensive applications. For more information about MagicDraw vs Cameo see: PivotPoint FAQ: How can I choose between MagicDraw and Cameo architecture modeling tools?.

Cameo Systems Modeler and Cameo Enterprise Architecture features are compared and contrasted in more detail below:

  • Cameo Systems Modeler™ (Cameo SM) is a collaborative Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment based on MagicDraw, where the Enterprise edition includes the SysML and Cameo Simulation Toolkit plugins, but does not include the Enterprise Architecture plugins bundled with Cameo Enterprise Architecture (Cameo EA; see below). Cameo SM is a popular choice for Systems Engineers seeking to simulate SysML system architecture models. See Cameo Systems Modeler Editions for details.
  • Cameo Enterprise Architecture™ (Cameo EA) is also based on MagicDraw, and includes plugins for SysML, Cameo Data Modeler, Cameo Business Modeler and various enterprise architecture frameworks (DoDAF 2, MODAF, NAF 3 and UAF), but does not include the Cameo Simulation Toolkit (Cameo SimTk) plugin. Cameo EA is a popular choice among Systems Engineers seeking to specify Enterprise Architecture Frameworks and data models with SysML, but are not necessarily interested in Modeling & Simulation. (The Cameo Simulation Toolkit is optional, not bundled, with Cameo EA). See Cameo Enterprise Architecture Editions for details.
