CATIA Magic

Webel IT Australia is developing a recipe for modelling Wolfram Language code for Mathematica graphically in Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML^®), so far primarily for SysMLv1.6 and SysMLv1.7, but a version of the recipe for SysMLv2 is foreseen.

SysML/UML: MagicDraw/Cameo: GOTCHA: Connecting a typed OutputPin to an untyped (UNSPECIFIED) InputPin with an ObjectFlow changes the type of the InputPin

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: Convention: A '$E' in a function name indicates that all parameters (arguments and return) are Mathematica '_' expressions. However, when representing such functions as Activities they may end up getting strongly typed in tools!

TIP: Webel: SysML/UML: On the boundary of symbols for ConstraintParameters on a ConstraintProperty (ConstraintBlock usage) symbol in Parametric Diagrams use any placement or "ordering" of ConstraintParameter symbols that works for the diagram!

TIP: Webel: SysML/UML: On the boundary of Action symbols in Activity Diagrams use any placement or "ordering" of Parameter symbols that works for the diagram. Ignore the Parameter ordering of Operation and Behavior signatures completely!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: When modelling the logic flow of Mathematica code with Activity diagrams it is not necessary to model every single Mathematica construct. Placeholder OpaqueBehaviors (used via CallBehaviorActions) and OpaqueActions may be used.

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: Cameo Systems Modeler: Can perform calculations with a custom Quantity ValueType (for Mathematica) directly, but DOES NOT perform units-aware algebra (no automatic conversions)

SysML/UML: MagicDraw/Cameo: To display the body of an OpaqueBehavior on a usage (CallBehaviorAction) in an Activity Diagram use an element property callout of 'Body' into a Note with a handle to the CallBehaviorAction

[FIXED in v2022Refresh1]: BUG: MagicDraw/Cameo: 19SP3/v2022xGolden: Activity Diagrams: Pin display mode 'Position of Labels' does not stick, label positions in Diagrams have sometimes moved after re-opening a project [and "FIX"]

The Webel Recipe for SysML-friendly Wolfram Language coding in Mathematica

Keywords

As part of a long term project developed, initially during work for a client, Webel IT Australia in partnership with GreenSoft Pty Ltd is developing a very complex Mathematica application with substantial SysML modelling support.

MagicDraw/Cameo: UML/SysML: TIP: Activity Diagrams: Learn how to use the Refactor > Extract feature to divide-and-conquer and identify cleaner flow and logic. Get control of those crossed wires!

Webel: MagicDraw/Cameo: UML/SysML: TIP: Activity Diagrams, StateMachine Diagrams, and port-based IBDs: Keep it loose initially with oblique (no break) paths, then square it up with rectangular paths at the very end

Webel: WISHLIST: MagicDraw/Cameo: UML/SysML: Ability to freeze the Feature lines shown on symbols under Edit Compartments so that the diagram does not "break" when new Features are added elsewhere (reduce graphical coupling)

THE BIG TIP: You brain has many facets: code + graphical engineering is greater than either alone

MagicDraw/Cameo: 2022xGolden: TIP/GOTCHA: Mac: HOWTO Load the available plugins in the Resource/Plugin Manager

SysMLv1.x: MagicDraw/Cameo: Contextual relationships feature (links)

HOWTO access custom (user-defined) Mathematica functions using Mathematica v13.2 as an external maths engine for SysML Parametrics (ConstraintBlocks) in Magic Model Analyst (Cameo Simulation Toolkit) versions 2021x, 2021xR1, 2022xR1

Mathematica + Magic Model Analyst (Cameo Simulation Toolkit) for SysML Parametrics: GOTCHA: You must use a regular '=' on the SysML side, not the Mathematica '==' (or it will be intepreted as a constraint condition to test, not an equation to solve).

HOWTO use Mathematica v12.3.2 as an external maths engine for SysML Parametrics (ConstraintBlocks) in Magic Model Analyst (Cameo Simulation Toolkit) versions 2021x, 2021xR1, 2022xR1

No Magic Inc., the original developers of the MagicDraw/Cameo tools for Unified Modeling Language (UML^®) and Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML^®) - were acquired in 2017/2018 by Dassault Systèmes, and the MagicDraw/Cameo family of software tools have been rebranded.

MagicDraw/Cameo 19SP3/v2022xGolden: [FIXED in v2022xRefresh1]: Activity Diagrams: Pin display mode 'Position of Labels' does not work correctly for 'Name And Type Labels Inside', only shows the Name inside (not the Label) [and WORKAROUND]

Cameo Simulation Toolkit: You can assign the results of simulations calculations on instances to the default values of properties of the Classes/Blocks that type the instance.
