Scarecrow Consultants is proud to offer training in use of CATIA Magic – also known as Cameo – in partnership with Dassault Systèmes.

Our own Scarecrow Mike has just got back from two weeks of training on site with clients alongside Constantin Neacsu from Dassault.

‘It’s been great helping people understand the tools and to ensure their processes are in the driving seat. Thanks to Constantin for his support, and looking forward to being able to offer this to more clients.’ – Mike Brownsword

If you are looking to use CATIA Magic or Cameo in your organisation, need to train more staff to use an existing tool, or as part of a wider drive towards an MBSE approach, you can get in touch with us to discuss at enquiries@scarecrowconsultants.co.uk or the contact page on this site.

And of course, if we are talking about tools…. here is a special SysML-anary from Mike of course drawn using CATIA Magic. The clue is ‘also known as’

Dassault Systèmes MBSE Innovation Summit

Simon Perry — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 13:54:14 +0000

We had a fantastic time at the Dassault Systèmes MBSE Innovation Summit, hosted at the British Motor Museum on 14th October.

Mike, Jon, and Jess were all there to meet attendees at the Scarecrow stand. It was great to see old friends as well as meet many new friends and people we’ve only previously ‘met’ on LinkedIn…! Jon chaired the final panel session, discussing ‘Is SysML v2 a Silver Bullet for Industries?’. It was a fantastic event with a lot of good discussion generated.

The team at Dassault have long supported our own MBSE Events, and it was actually a discussion after our MBSE Phantasmagoria that led them to host an event of their own. Thank you to the team for inviting us, and we look forward to having you back at our 2026 event – working name MBSE Sharkfest…

Pub Quiz Success at the Scarecrow and Rabbit

Simon Perry — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 10:40:55 +0000

Scarecrow Consultants were delighted to host their first ever SysML Pub Quiz this April, at the Birmingham and Midland Institute.

We welcomed teams from organisations across the country, who arrived ready for a day of modelling mischief at the (fictional) Scarecrow and Rabbit pub. Teams took on questions about key notation, a number of SysML diagrams, and fundamental understanding of Model-Based Systems Engineering.

We had great feedback from the event, with participants saying they enjoyed the lecture and discussion type format of theory sections, and the informal pub quiz feeling. Due to popular request we have immediately started running the pub quiz directly in organisations, for those looking to develop their modelling skills and understanding of SysML. If this is of interest to you please email enquiries@scarecrowconsultants.co.uk to discuss.
