Note first that:
TIP/GOTCHA: SysMLv1/fUML: Cameo Simulation Toolkit: If you have a ControlFlow loop with a DecisionNode test you MUST have a MergeNode for the continuation path ControlFlow (typically entered also from an InitialNode or other loop starting point).

Magic Model Analyst® (Cameo Simulation Toolkit®) uses a "magical" implied variable detection based on the guard, so it detects a variable 'test' from the untyped (freestyle) guard [test]. When the DecisionNode is reached a popup dialog appears with 'test ?' prompting for a Yes (true) or No (false) input.

[GOTCHA, MODELLING, POLICY, TIP, TOOL]{INFORMATIVE} TIP/GOTCHA: SysMLv1/fUML: Cameo Simulation Toolkit: If you have a ControlFlow loop with a DecisionNode test you MUST have a MergeNode for the continuation path ControlFlow (typically entered also from an InitialNode or other loop starting point).
[MODELLING, TIP, TOOL]{INFORMATIVE} TIP: SysMLv1/UML: Cameo Simulation Toolkit: HOWTO convert an fUML ReadLine CLI String to a Boolean for cleaner DecisionNode tests against a LiteralBoolean [true] guard.
