Astah System Safety is a new MBSE tool for system engineers and safety engineers providing SysML, GSN, STAMP/STPA, SCDL all in one package.
A 40-day free trial is available before purchase. If you have tried it out already but want to evaluate it again, you can!
Model Interchange with Cameo Systems Modeler
You can now export all the SysML diagrams to XMI that is compatible with Cameo Systems Modeler. Six types of SysML diagrams (Block Definition diagrams, Internal block diagrams, Activity diagrams, Parametric diagrams, Requirement diagrams, and Sequence diagrams) are supported. You can also import the same SysML diagrams from Cameo Systems Modeler to Astah.

Sync-Converter to maintain the model consistency
In Astah System Safety, you can convert SysML models to STAMP/STPA models or SCDL models and vice versa.
There is a new option “Sync-Convert” which lets the original model and converted model sync the content. So when you update one model, it will update the other converted model automatically.
This keeps your models stay consistent throughout the project without extra effort.
Expanded API support for SysML diagrams
We have made progress in implementing APIs for project management, view-related and common diagram elements. We also supported APIs that include editing of requirement diagrams, state machine diagrams, activity diagrams, block definition diagrams, and internal block diagrams, mainly related to SysML. Please take advantage of the APIs that are now in place, along with the APIs for other models that were already supported.

SysML
[769] Internal block diagrams, activity diagrams, parametric diagrams, requirement diagrams, and sequence diagrams in Cameo Systems Modeler models can now be imported.
[915] Internal block diagram and parametric diagram information can now be output in a format that can be imported by Cameo Systems Modeler.
[967] The [Model Correction] – [Check Invalid Models] function can now also detect invalid models in sequence diagrams.
[904] When duplicating a non-diagram, all the subordinate diagrams are opened in the editor, but now they are not.
Issues resolved in 6.0
[554] Fixed an issue where a realization between a port and an interface was generated to a block when the realization was removed from the diagram and the hidden relationship of the interface was displayed.
[714] When a dependency diagram element is connected from a port to a block or interface, the terminating diagram element is deleted along with the dependency diagram element.
[743] Fixed an issue where generalization lines and nested lines in shared notation are not merged properly.
[805] Fixed a problem in which Reply messages are not deleted if they are changed to asynchronous after a synchronous message is replaced.
[806] Fixed an issue in which the start of a Create message in a sequence diagram would not follow the start of the message if the parent lifeline of the interaction use was changed.
[823] Fixed an issue where the value of the argument set for the use of interaction in a sequence diagram would be cleared when copy-pasted.
[860] Fixed an issue where constraint properties would become unusually large vertically when a constraint parameter is created for a constraint property.
[868] Fixed an issue where multiple Reply messages could be created for interaction use or synchronization messages to a frame.
[871] Fixed an issue where a Reply message could be created when the target side of a synchronization Found message was an interaction use.
[878] Fixed a problem where a Reply message was not taken into account when replacing the end of a synchronization message with the source, which could result in an exception in subsequent operations.
[879] Fixed a problem in which an exception would occur and the message could not be replaced if a self-message was created when replacing the end of a vanishing message.
[880] Fixed a problem in which replacing a message with a frame terminated message so that it becomes a self-message would deviate from the execution specification.
[883] Fixed a problem where a dependency could be created on a frame in an internal block diagram.
[896] Fixed an issue where an error would occur if you moved the end of a message that terminated in a non-lifeline to the ancestor lifeline.
