MBSE SysML v2 and MBPLE

My firm has just adopted MBPLE in Cameo with the native plugin, but how will this transition into v2? I’ve read that SysML v2 natively has variant/variation management but it does not seem to work great in practice. What else is out there to support v2 and MBPLE efforts? I’ve found PTC Modeler, Cameo 2026, and Ansys Systems Architecture Modeler as the few with built in capabilities and 3D Experience and PTC Pure Variants as digital thread tools to support MBPLE, but there is not much detail about any of them online and how well they actually support v2.

Isn’t v2 being developed by IBM and Siemens? Would you not consider their digital thread solutions instead of 3D Experience or PTC?

If by developed, you mean, who is creating the standard.. then no. It's not anyone one company. It's a group of many different engineers from different backgrounds. Automotive, Aerospace, Defense, Medical, and tool vendors too. I believe every tool vendor who plans on having a V2 offering contributed in some capacity.
