Bridging Systems and Software Engineering with SysML v2 and CI/CD Pipeline

Software and system engineering are two major parts of the system design path that have traditionally suffered from poor collaboration. SysML v2 and REST API-based automation help solve this problem by incorporating systems engineering into fast-paced software design CI/CD workflows and extending it into the overall design workflow and automation.

This guide describes how to set up an automated pipeline that exports SysML v2 textual notation from CATIA Magic Teamwork Cloud (TWC) and commits it to a GitLab repository. The automation is triggered by TWC webhooks when a user creates a tagged commit, ensuring that every significant model revision is captured in version control as human-readable SysML v2 text.

What this enables:

1. Automate your process in minimal time: Instant export + commit on model tagging — no manual steps.
2. Synchronize engineering data: Connect models with requirements, wiki, DevOps tools, and other enterprise systems.
3. Introduce CI/CD for engineering: Bridge systems engineering and software delivery pipelines using Git-based workflows.

Note: Native SysML v2 file export will be available starting with v2026 R1 (July release).

Today, you can already leverage the REST API for:

1. Running SysML v2 and v1 simulations
2. Extracting requirements
3. Automating validation workflows
4. Integrating with external systems

This is a concrete step toward model-driven DevOps and a true Digital Engineering ecosystem.
