Follow this link to download and get started with ATICA4CAPELLA.
Plugin installation
- Unzip the plugin contents into the dropins folder in the Capella installation directory (usually under
C:\Program Files\Capella\capella\dropins
or similar)
Important
Restart Capella after placing the plugin in the dropins folder.
Add the feature in Capella as a dropin
After starting Capella, check if the dropin was correctly loaded: go to Help
/About Capella
and then click on Installation details
. The dropin shall appear in the Plug-ins
tab.
In case of problems, in the Configuration
tab log information is available to debug problems:
Activate the viewpoints
In case the plugin is of the Viewpoint kind (extension of modelling features, custom diagrams and tables etc. ATICA4CAPELLA is a Viewpoint plugin), one more step is needed to finalize the activation of the plugin.
- Click on
Window / Show View / Other...
and selectViewpoint Manager
- A new window
Viewpoint Manager
will appear with the list of available viewpoints. Click on the system project (.aird file on the project tree) and then select the plugin, click right with the mouse and click onReference
. This will activate the plugin.
After activation, a folder named "MBSA Package" shall appear under System Analysis
. Then, create a new System Architecture Blank
diagram, activate the safety perspective (on the upper bar in the diagram) and the Failure Condition
creator will appear in the diagram creator palette.
⚠️ Warning
If the plugin is deactivated, the "MBSA Package" folder will be removed with all its contents. Capella creates a backup copy of the project before removing all the new features enabled by the plugin.
For which version of Capella will Atica work with? I’m using version 5.2, and although Atica will install, it creates errors and makes Capella unusable.
Hello François,
Thank you for your feedback. Atica4Capella was initially developed under Capella 6.0 and was tested in versions 6.0 and 6.1.
We have just added a quick patch to make Atica4Capella also compatible with Capella 5.2. It is available now in the download page.
Thank you
