How to automate activity diagrams in Cameo Systems Modeler

This SysML v2 presentation goes through the new way to do calculations, perform rollups, and verify requirements using Cameo Systems Modeler 2026x. Thank you to Dassault Systèmes CATIA for giving the Systems Engineering community a tool that implements SysML v2 in a way that is usable and valuable to so many types of projects. Special thanks to Osvaldas Jankauskas, who has fielded SysML v2 questions for the last year as part of the Early Access Program for Cameo Systems Modeler’s v2 implementation. Cameo Systems Modeler 2026x, which is scheduled to release in November, this year, implements SysML v2 as shown in this presentation. It is a big shift in the way we model and offers a world of opportunity with the textual / graphical synchronization. More to come!

Vault Job Processor Project – Key Takeaways 🏀 Volunteered for a high-impact initiative to diagnose and resolve persistent failures in Autodesk Vault’s Job Processor, specifically affecting DWG workflows and lifecycle-driven automation. Gained hands-on experience configuring dedicated job servers, managing lifecycle transitions, and monitoring job queues to optimize performance. Identified root causes tied to configuration misalignment, Copy Design workflows, and visualization conflicts (TrueView). Collaborated across engineering and support teams to implement mitigation strategies including directional title block mapping and enhanced file version tracking. This project deepened my understanding of Vault architecture, workflow automation, and the importance of precision in lifecycle state management.

Building an AI-driven process to convert technical diagrams into working code is not trivial. In this post, Sam Coyle explains how the Diagrid team engineered Workflow Composer, a free tool that converts BPMN and other workflow diagrams into production-ready code. The system uses an intermediate representation to bridge human-friendly diagrams and strict programming models, enabling: + Structural validation (dead-end detection, loop analysis, parallel execution checks) before code generation. + A Visitor pattern implementation in Go to traverse workflows and emit idiomatic code in multiple languages. + Automatic project scaffolding with configs, Makefiles, and activity stubs—ensuring consistency across languages and frameworks. The result: reliable, type-safe code that’s executable out-of-the-box; do in minutes what took weeks.

PowerShell is now standard in Moldflow 2026 The classic CMD window is gone, and PowerShell is now the new standard for automation. That means you will have cleaner scripts, modern syntax, and advanced control of your workflows. With PowerShell, engineers can:  🔸Run stable, more flexible automations  🔸Use loops, outputs, and modern script logic  🔸Align with Autodesk’s latest automation standards If you’ve been using CMD-based scripts, it’s time to update,  older scripts may no longer run in Moldflow 2026. At PEG | MFS, we teach engineering teams how to automate Moldflow the right way from setup to scripting best practices.

Save your clicks for a smarter modeling! 👨💻 Ardaena #DetailDesign Team: “So many gaskets in a single window frame! More frames are ahead. Someone please bring #Automation to our workflow!” 🥷 Ardaena #Programming Stream: “Roger that! Just click the button!” The video below shows a #customized solution inside #AutodeskInventor automating: - Extraction a reference length to define part dimensions - Setting the new length for the selected part - Setting the filename regarding project's naming logic - Importing the model in workspace 🟡 FOUR CLICKs instead of 4 repetitive steps. The user then simply place the created model at desired location. What other workflows do you think can be automated like this? #Ardaena_4PxStreams #DfMA #ComputationalDesign #FacadeEngineering #Code_or_Die #AEC #iLogic

Vault Job Processor Project – Lessons Learned 🏀 Multi-phase investigation into Autodesk Vault Job Processor failures impacting DWG workflows, lifecycle automation, and property sync. Collaborated across engineering, support, and business units to diagnose root causes including misconfigured job settings, visualization conflicts (TrueView), and indexing issues. Developed a resolution strategy grounded in: 🔍 File version tracking and job queue diagnostics 🛠 Lifecycle-driven job automation and config file validation 📊 Stakeholder alignment across SE group, BU technical leads, and impacted users 📁 Mitigation planning for title block metadata conflicts and model reversion risks Delivered hour-by-hour response coordination, documented known issues, and proposed workflow improvements to enhance Vault performance and reduce future escalations.

🔧 Are Cumulative Flow Diagrams useful in High-Mix / Low-Volume Manufacturing? In software development, Cumulative Flow Diagrams (CFDs) are a go-to tool for visualizing flow, bottlenecks, and throughput over time. But what about high-mix / low-volume metalworking companies, where every order is unique, routings vary, and flow is anything but repetitive? I’ve been exploring how flow principles could help visualize and stabilize production in such environments — and the CFD below illustrates one possible approach: ➡️ On the left: a clear bottleneck forming in the Machining stage. ➡️ On the right: smoother, more balanced flow after improvement. I’m curious: Have you ever applied Cumulative Flow Diagrams or similar flow-based visual tools in a job-shop or custom fabrication context? Do you find the CFD concept useful (or realistic) in a HMLV metalworking environment, or is it too abstract for real-world shop dynamics? Does this visualization look correct to you — or would you model it differently? Let’s share some experiences — I’d love to hear from production managers, planners, and Lean practitioners working in custom manufacturing. #LeanManufacturing #Kanban #Flow #Metalworking #ContinuousImprovement #HighMixLowVolume #AgileManufacturing #WimsMetaalminuten

We’re pioneering a new approach to leakage modeling by tying it together with the wealth of asset management data that utilities regularly collect and maintain – and you can see it in the latest release of with InfoWater Pro 2026.1. Autodesk has enhanced our previous leakage modeling workflows and delivered a novel way to manage leakage by integrating asset management with advanced leakage modeling capabilities: We call it the Leakage Allocator. Ready to give the Leakage Allocator a try?
