Samares Engineering

What Samares Engineering does

Samares Engineering SAS is a French consulting and training firm founded in November 2013 by Raphael Faudou in Blagnac (Toulouse) after his departure from Atoos. The company specializes in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), with a service portfolio spanning systems engineering process consulting (against standards such as ISO 15288, ARP4754A, DO178B/C, and ECSS), MBSE deployment coaching, requirements engineering, and simulation and co-simulation. Its technology stack centers on SysML notation, the Arcadia/Capella methodology, and integration with Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, AADL, and the FMI co-simulation standard, with proprietary Cameo plugins developed in-house for Functional Architecture Synthesis, operational-to-validation scenario automation, functional-to-logical architecture consistency, N² matrix extraction, and genetic-algorithm-based coupling optimization.

The business model is professional services — quote-based MBSE consulting engagements, methodology coaching, and training delivered both in industrial settings and at engineering schools. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows typical professional-services engagement structures. Distribution is direct to enterprise engineering organizations in aerospace, automotive, railway, defence, and buildings, supplemented by thought-leadership content (a recurring technical blog series) and active participation in the AFIS (French chapter of INCOSE) MBSE technical committee. The company operates as an independent, founder-owned SAS with €50,000 in share capital, registration 798 787 933 RCS Toulouse, and no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors. The only named collaboration reference is with IRT Saint Exupéry on the AIDA drone-inspection case study, and a working partnership exists with Ellidiss for AADL tooling integration.

Broad incumbents

• Ansys: Provides simulation and digital twin platforms that increasingly overlap with MBSE and co-simulation workflows (the SysML-Simulink/Modelica integration space Samares services). A broad incumbent in adjacent systems engineering categories.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Provides Teamcenter and Polarion for systems engineering and requirements management, with a global services arm competing for the same enterprise MBSE deployment engagements Samares pursues.
• Dassault Systèmes: Owns the No Magic / Cameo Systems Modeler platform on which Samares builds its proprietary plugins, and offers broad MBSE services and training. It is the dominant incumbent in the same tooling ecosystem where Samares specializes.
• Capgemini Engineering: Large global systems engineering and digital twin services provider with significant MBSE practice and aerospace/automotive clients. A broad incumbent that frequently competes against specialist MBSE boutiques for the same enterprise deployment programs.
• IBM Engineering: Sells the DOORS requirements and Rhapsody MBSE platforms, directly competing with the SysML/Cameo toolchain Samares deploys. A large incumbent with overlapping consulting and tooling in the same systems engineering category.

Direct peers

• LieberLieber: Austrian MBSE specialist offering Enterprise Architect-based MBSE tooling and consulting. Closely comparable in size and positioning as a niche European MBSE tools and services boutique.
• Vitech: Vendor of the GENESYS and CORE MBSE platforms with associated services. Competes for the same MBSE deployment and training engagements Samares pursues, with an alternative tooling stack.
• SodiusWillert: Provider of MBSE, Model-Driven Development, and engineering collaboration tooling (e.g., MDWorkbench). Competes in the same MBSE tool and integration consulting space as Samares.
• Ellidiss: French vendor of AADL modeling tools (AADL Inspector, STOOD) and an existing partner of Samares for AADL timing analysis. Operates in the same MBSE tool integration space and serves overlapping aerospace/embedded customers.
• Atoos: French systems engineering consultancy from which Samares' founder Raphael Faudou departed in 2013. Competes in the same MBSE consulting niche for industrial clients in France, particularly aerospace in Toulouse.
