Performance Improvements in UAFIn this version, we continued improving the performance with a major focus on compliance mode, reports, and UAF metrics. Compliance ModesTurning on the BPMN or SysML compliance modes in large projects now takes less time than in earlier versions. Feature | 2021x | 2021x Refresh 1 |
---|
BPMN Compliance Mode (UAF) | > 60 min | 9 min 27s | SysML Compliance Mode (UPDM) | > 60 min | 3 min |
ReportThe report generation was optimized so it takes less time for large projects. In the optimization process, the tables, matrices, and relation maps were excluded from the scope of the Used in Diagrams column. MS Word supports files only up to 512 MB, therefore we do not recommend generating a report with the entire project as its scope. The following table shows the testing, performed with the scope of ~ 5000 elements, results. Feature | 2021x Refresh 1 |
---|
All views report (XL project) | 5 min 30s | Dictionary report | 31s | Summary and Overview report | 15s | Dictionary Excel Spreadsheet | 2 min 11s |
UAF MetricsThe metrics calculation was also optimized and runs smoothly in the larger projects. However, we do not recommend selecting the entire project as a scope for calculating metrics. The following table shows the testing, performed with the scope of ~ 5000 elements, results. Feature | 2021x | 2021x Refresh 1 |
---|
UAF metrics (1M) | Low memory | 21.719 s | UAF metrics (10M) | Low memory | 190.35 s | UPDM2 metrics (1M) | Low memory | 42.564 s | UPDM2 metrics (10M) | Low memory | 56.109 s |
Diagrams and Tables
- The Hierarchical Typical Measurements tables were enhanced and no longer hold the status of technology preview. New hierarchical display modes were implemented. You can also generate predefined reports for these tables. Also, having the Hierarchical Typical Measurements table filled out makes it easy to create the Hierarchical Actual Measurements table by simply clicking the Evaluate Measurements button. Learn more >>
- The Hierarchical Actual Measurements tables are available for all domains. The hierarchical table for actual measurements allows working with the actual measurements directly in the table. You can add new or existing Actual Property Sets and define values. When you add a Property Set to the table, all existing Actual Property Sets will be collected recursively according to the defined scope. Learn more >>
- The Actual Project Milestone Summary Table (Pj-Rm) depicts all actual project milestones in the model. Adding the actual project milestones into the table allows you to see their name, kind, start date, project, project status, version released, version withdrawn, and actual resource information. You will also be able to add or modify the actual project milestone information directly in this table. Learn more >>
- The new Strategic Typical Deployment tables are now available in all frameworks. Two new wizards come along with this new type of table. Use the Actual Resources Deployment Creation Wizard to create a table and the Typical Resources Deployment Wizard to add resources to the table. Learn more >>
Usability Improvements- If you need to see the original name, set the Show Original Name of Measurement symbol property to true. The original name will be displayed in brackets and in gray font. Learn more >>
ArchiMate Model Import (Technology Preview)In this version, the import of the ArchiMate model from the open exchange file into the UAF project is implemented. As it is only a technology preview for this version, the imported element mapping is only partial. The mapping of ArchiMate 3.1 to UAF 1.1 approach is based on the NATO Architecture Framework.

SysML FeaturesBehavior to Structure SynchronizationYou can now keep your Internal Block diagram (IBD) consistent with Activities with less effort! Our brand new behavior-to-structure synchronization allows you to validate Part Properties in an IBD to check whether Proxy Ports exist and are typed by compatible Interface Blocks based on flows found in Activities. As a result, instead of manually updating IBDs to be consistent with Activities, coherence between them is ensured by automatically detecting inconsistencies and providing the user with the solvers to handle each inconsistency individually. Synchronizing IBD based on Activities. Learn more about behavior to structure synchronization >> Contextual Relationships EnhancementsContextual Relationships have undergone major improvements! From now on, you can create contextual relationships directly in structure tree view tables and represent data in table columns by considering the usage context of the row elements.
Creating contextual relationships in tables.Additionally, for a more compact Internal Block Diagram (IBD) view, you can now represent contextual relationships in the Element Properties compartment of the element shape.
Displaying contextual relationships in the element compartment. Learn more about creating and displaying contextual relationships >> Other improvements- In earlier versions, the Show Parts filter was hard to use in larger projects: only a limited list of connectors was visible; and identifying the connectors was difficult in some cases. This version brings enhancements that will allow easy searching, identification, and selection of all connectors outgoing from the parts. Using this dialog, you can easily filter connectors and choose which ones should be displayed in the table or hidden from it. Learn more >>

Performance ImprovementsA chart comparing the project opening speed in 2021x and 2021x Refresh1 SysML projects with 0.5M, 1M, 2M, and 5M elements.- Element selection. Further improvements have been introduced to element selection (i.e., the Select Element dialog and drop-down lists) performance. The stereotyped element search is now performed approximately 20-200 times faster.

Modeling and Infrastructure
Tree View in Select Element Drop-Downs and Quick FindQuick Find and Type Selection drop-downs have been enhanced with the Tree view. In cases when multiple elements share the same name, it will no longer be confusing as to which one to select: all you need to do is switch to the Tree view to identify the element's place in the model hierarchy. Switching between the Tree and List views to find the needed element faster.Other improvements - The 3DEXPERIENCE menu item groups all available integrations with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. When you install plugins that support integration with the platform, all their available functionalities will be added under the 3DEXPERIENCE menu. Learn more about authentication with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform >>
Since the UsageInDiagrams Opaque Behavior is a time-consuming operation (it loads all diagrams - matrices, tables, and maps), it has been deprecated and replaced with the UsageInDiagramsWithSymbols Opaque Behavior that searches for symbol usages only. Learn more about built-in operations >>

CollaborationGlobal Element Usage SearchNo more accidental Recovered Elements and unexpected surprises when updating Used Project versions! The latest release introduces the global element usage search functionality that allows you to query for the usages of the element you are about to modify or delete. Depending on the server-side configuration, projects using the element in question can be returned either from the entire Teamwork Cloud repository or the chosen custom indexed scope. Searching for element usages within the Teamwork Cloud repository.Learn more about global element usage search >> Nested Categories Do your projects need to be grouped hierarchically? Are you seeking to organize them in a folder-like manner? We have a solution! You can now organize your projects into nested categories so you can find them later with no difficulty. Organizing server projects into nested categories.Representation of Teamwork Cloud UsersYou now have the freedom to customize how individual Teamwork Cloud users are represented in the modeling tool (for example, when they lock elements) by simply changing the value of the Representation of Users environment option. It is your choice whether a User Name, a Full Name, or an Email address is shown to identify them. Changing the user representation in the Teamwork Cloud project.Learn more about representation of Teamwork Cloud users >> Returning to Merge DialogNeed to make some adjustments after finishing the merge operation? Not a problem! You can now quickly return to the previously performed merge operation if you notice that you have accepted or rejected the changes (e.g., rejected the element creation) by mistake and need to change your merge decisions. Returning to the Merge dialog to change merge decisions.Learn more about returning to Merge dialog >> Other Teamwork Cloud-related ImprovementsBack to Top |
