SysML 1.4 SupportThrough its integrated MDG Technology for SysML 12.1 allows for quick and simple creation of SysML 1.4 models.
Support for earlier versions of SysML has also been enhanced, with additional features and functionality. Multiplicity for SysML 1.2 and 1.3 ports displayed in a compartment on their parent block.
On Parametric diagrams, SysML 1.3 Properties owned by constraint blocks or constraint properties are now drawn as a small box with an external label
The ID and Text values of SysML requirements can now be displayed in the Summary window and can now be edited from within the Specification Manager
Behavior of copies of SysML requirements updated such that Text tagged value on copies is pinned and updated as the original is updated
BPSim is a specification for parameterization and exchange of process analysis data, allowing the creation, comparison and reuse of different simulation configurations stored within the model. It takes into account a wide range of runtime information such as statistical information, random variations, queuing, scheduling and resources.BPSim configurations can be exported from Enterprise Architect for consumption in a 3rd party simulation engine.The BPSim toolset provides flexibility in assigning operating information to a model, and in assessing the quality
of the solution based on results from a compliant BPSim engine. The BPSim configuration screens have been divided into multiple perspectives, each focusing on one aspect of the setup process at a time. The Control Perspective defines how activity flows through the process, moderated by the likelihood of a sequence of events and the priorities of certain events.The Temporal Perspective defines how the duration of one or more phases in the processing of an Activity influences the business process.The Resource Perspective defines the
involvement of workers and other resources along with their types,
roles, required numbers, costs and availability.

Enterprise Architect 12.1 supports and implements the NIEM 3 UML profile based on the OMG NIEM-UML 1.1 Specification. Model Package Descriptions (MPDs) are now defined instances of predefined classes and the relationships between them:•Provides a much more flexible
approach to define common properties between multiple MPDs whose properties are specified by any combination of connected objects and child objects
•Model Wizard includes package containing standard MPD classes and template MPD description to use as a base for your own definitions
Model Framework Patterns Updated:•NIEM 3.1 Framework model now
available •NIEM 3.0 and 2.1 Framework
models updated to improve Schema Composer usage
Schema Generation of both NIEM 2 and 3 improved:Generated schema will now match the targetted version conventions and importsNIEM schema import added:Imports a NIEM XML schema with dependencies using conventions for NIEM Platform Independent ModelSchema Composer updated to copy subsets relationships between attributes of Property Holders to the subset model
