Since late June 2026 the SysMLv2 Simulation plugin for Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer® (Cameo Systems Modeler®) is here! It requires also a licence for Magic Model Analyst® (Cameo Simulation Toolkit®).
It is strictly EXPERIMENTAL, and there's quite a lot that one could do with Magic Model Analyst® (Cameo Simulation Toolkit®) for SysMLv1 that one can't yet do for SysMLv2, but there's certainly already a lot that one can do.
Webel IT Australia is ahead of the pack, and is already including examples and videos on SysMLv2 simulation in the Webel SysMLv2 courses:
Some limitation of the current EXPERIMENTAL SysMLv2 Simulaton plugin
For a full list of restrictions visit the official documentation under External Links, the following just indicates some main things to be aware of:
- Binding connectors are restricted to only work with primitive types and simple enumerations.
- Only a limited range of simpler actions are available and only as state actions (entry, do, exit).
- It seems not to be able to execute actions directly yet.
- There doesn't seem to be support for full animation of flows yet (compare with Magic Model Analyst® (Cameo Simulation Toolkit®) for SysMLv1).
- The very useful Time Series Chart only seems to work for Integer and Real values (not Boolean AFAICT).
- The simulation does not check the direction of a directed Features (between ports).
GOTCHA: If you use Stop a simulation it will close the Time Series Chart which can be inconvenient if you have it nicely configured and placed as a docked window.
Some things to be mindful of
- Use interface usages with interface definitions for all port-to-port connections.
- For flows use flows within interface definitions.
- You can only "run" (launch the Simulation windows) from a «part» usage (not a «part def»).
Some things known to work
- An «item def» works fine for a
payloadincluding for transition accept triggers. It is not restricted to primitive attribute types.
