GENESYS 2025 delivers powerful new capabilities designed to enhance model-based systems engineering (MBSE) workflows, improve interoperability, and support industry standards. This release introduces major innovations that make system modeling more intuitive, accessible, and collaborative.
New features of GENESYS 2025 include:
At the heart of GENESYS 2025 is the introduction of containment, a transformative approach to model organization. Containment allows users to structure engineering data in a way that aligns more naturally with user intent and industry best practices.
Key Benefits:
To access the Containment View, click on the Containment tab at the top of Project Explorer.
Additional capabilities supporting the Containment View include:
GENESYS 2025 incorporates robust support for the Unified Architecture Framework® (UAF®), a standard developed by the Object Management Group® (OMG®) to support mission engineering and enterprise architecture.
The new UAF features include built-in modeling guidance that assists users in correctly applying the UAF methodology. Additionally, there are normative diagram samples that help accelerate learning and adoption. These new features streamline the user experience, particularly for new UAF users.
These enhancements lower the barrier to entry for organizations adopting UAF, enabling teams to build effective, standards-compliant architectures from day one.
Summary of changes to the default schemas:
The following changes were applied to the GENESYS 2025 Base Schema and Capability Schema:
New endpoints have been added to the GENESYS 2025 REST API expanding access to GENESYS models.
GENESYS 2024 delivers measurable improvements in performance, usability, and extensibility across the MBSE lifecycle. This release removes the dependency on SQL Server Express for local repositories, simplifying installation and expanding hardware compatibility, including ARM-based systems.
Support for Unified Architecture Framework 1.2 strengthens alignment with defense and regulated industry standards. Project organization has been redesigned to improve navigation, searchability, and governance, with new capabilities such as Query to Package and enhanced view management.
Significant performance gains have been achieved in matrix operations and large diagram loading, particularly for remote repositories. Usability enhancements, including improved diagram interaction and relationship editing within table views, increase modeling efficiency.
GENESYS 2024 also introduces a new Add-In Framework and API enhancements to support digital thread integration and third-party extensibility. The updated FMEA schema extension strengthens reliability and risk analysis directly within the system architecture model.

GENESYS 2023 R2 strengthens digital thread integration, improves traceability analysis, and enhances overall platform stability.
This release expands Matrix View capabilities, providing a more powerful and interactive way to visualize and manage relationships across requirements, functions, and physical architecture. Users can dynamically adjust scope and create relationships directly within the matrix to verify allocation completeness and traceability coverage.
Digital engineering integration is enhanced through updates to the SBE Vision Connector, enabling improved round-trip data exchange, clearer synchronization control, multiple subscription handling, and better management of digital thread channels. The introduction of the new Digital Thread Package class formalizes how GENESYS entities are mapped to external digital thread repositories, supporting consistent one-to-one data alignment.
Additional updates include command-line project launching for automation scenarios and refinements to CSDL relationship terminology to improve clarity and consistency.
GENESYS 2023 R2 also resolves a broad set of issues across security administration, simulation behavior, search accuracy, spell checking, table views, licensing, and repository management to improve reliability in enterprise environments.

GENESYS 2023 introduces structural product changes, enhanced model navigation, improved performance, and stronger digital thread integration.
This release formalizes the updated product portfolio, comprising GENESYS, GENESYS Pro, GENESYS University Edition, and GENESYS Server, with new Server packaging and Universal Connection License management to better support scalable, collaborative environments.
Model usability is significantly improved through the introduction of the Independent Views container, native Table Views, and structured View Lists. These capabilities provide real-time, in-tool tabular editing of model data and improved organization of diagrams through project-pinned, user-favorite, filtered, and custom view lists.
A new Model Obfuscator enables secure sharing of models by exporting redacted copies while preserving structural integrity. Diagram navigation is streamlined with Zoom to Fit functionality.
GENESYS 2023 also introduces integration with the SBE Vision Digital Thread platform, enabling publish/subscribe participation within a configuration-managed digital engineering ecosystem.
Performance improvements focus on bulk operations and large model handling, with measurable gains in entity creation, relationship management, and drag-and-drop operations. Additional enhancements include automatic license updates, consolidated undo/redo handling for bulk operations, and API updates including REST API v2.
The release also incorporates resolved issues from GENESYS 2022 SP1 and SP2.

GENESYS 2022 delivers major usability, standards alignment, and performance improvements across modeling, verification, collaboration, and system scalability.
Diagram productivity is significantly enhanced with automatic rule-based Diagram Legends, advanced route and distribute line controls, improved port anchoring behavior, flexible label positioning, and full undo/redo support for diagram actions. These changes reduce manual rework and improve visual clarity in complex architectures.
Methodology support is strengthened through expanded Model Assistant rules, including automatic creation of primary functions for use cases and root functions for states, improving traceability between behavior, structure, and abstraction levels. Activity diagrams now align more closely with SysML v1 through updated control flow and object flow notation.
The schema has been updated with Verification Activity replacing Test Activity, expanding support beyond testing to include analysis, demonstration, and inspection. New relationships and attributes improve alignment with external verification and project management tools.
Collaboration and model management are enhanced through:
Performance improvements include significantly reduced project and diagram load times, improved GUI and server communication, more efficient script execution over networks, and optimized administrative tools performance. GENESYS 2022 is now 64-bit only, improving scalability and memory utilization.
The release also resolves a broad range of issues across simulation, connectors, import/export, reports, TeamView, schema migration, and general platform reliability.
