HTML Export: Share Interactive SysML Models Online

The HTML Export feature allows you to transform your engineering models into an interactive, browser-based format. This is the most effective way to share your architecture with stakeholders, clients, or team members who do not have an Astah license.

How to Export:

Follow these steps to generate your shareable model:

Open the project file you wish to share in Astah SysML or Astah System Safety.
Navigate to [File] – [Export] – [Export as HTML].
Select your destination directory, name the file, and click [Save].
When promoted, click [Yes] to open the export in your default web browser.

Browsing the Exported Model:

The exported HTML provides a professional, intuitive interface for project visualization:

Sidebar Navigation: Displays your entire model and diagram hierarchy in a familiar tree structure.
Details Panel: Clicking any element in the sidebar instantly reveals its properties and related data in the main view.
Zero Footprint: Recipients can view the full model on any modern browser without installing additional software.

Filtering:
- The built-in search box allows users to find specific elements using a powerful query syntax:
  <query> or type=<filterType> <query>.
- Example filters:
  - Diagrams: Filters diagram-related items (e.g., block_definition_diagram).
  - Tables: Filters table-related items (e.g., requirement_table).
  - Specific Types like block, package, or use_case.

Additional Information:

Interfaces and Actors are represented as Classes in the HTML view.
Astah System Safety Users: Please note that SCDL models cannot be exported currently due to specific API limitations.
