#MBSE became a passion of me about 1 year ago, kind of late to the party considering having done (unknowingly) what is called system architecture all my life
#UML was no stranger not a friend either
sat there waiting
all started to make sense with MagicDraw
unfortunately hard to get, impossible for no businesses, claimed to be expensive for businesses, haven't seen the price tag yet

so, what than to use, I asked myself and a long quest began

I'don't know, do I want to change me entire coding style, that works on all platforms and focus on human readability and maintainability and refuses guru-coding
Modeling for Everyone

Gaphor is a UML, SysML, RAAML, and C4 modeling application written in Python. It is designed to be easy to use, while still being powerful. Gaphor implements a fully-compliant UML 2 data model, so it is much more than a picture drawing tool. You can use Gaphor to quickly visualize different aspects of a system as well as create complete, highly complex models.

so there might have been more tools

today I decided, enough of the quest,
I'm gonna use #VisualParadigm for #MBSE and #SysML

here my cons:
✅ rich in functionality
✅ many diagram types much more I've noticed
✅ easy customization of visual styles
✅ links to folders and files
✅ good export and import
✅ multi-OS support
✅ samples, tutorials and guides
