Arcadia is a rigorous, industrially proven MBSE method, yet its adoption has remained bound to a single tool, Capella. SysML v2, with formal semantics, a standardized API and dual textual/graphical notation, makes it possible to express Arcadia in a tool-independent environment. This paper presents (1) a concept mapping between Arcadia’s four layers and SysML v2 constructs, governed by explicit mapping rules; (2) its implementation as two complementary libraries, a semantic concept library and a metadata stereotype library; and (3) a UAV proof of concept assessed against five explicit validation criteria. The work combines academic methodology with industrial expertise from Samares Engineering. Finally, the paper identifies open challenges: digital continuity, AI-assisted modeling, variability management and model versioning.

José est ingénieur en systèmes industriels et complexes, avec une solide expertise en ingénierie des lignes de produits (PLE). Son doctorat portait sur la PLE appliquée à l'ingénierie système. Son parcours associe contextes académique et industriel : enseignement et R&D d'un côté, développement méthodologique et déploiement terrain de l'autre. Il a contribué activement au déploiement de pratiques PLE, aidant les organisations à structurer et optimiser leurs démarches d'ingénierie, dans l'enseignement comme dans l'automobile.
