Systems Modeling Language

Dr Darren's Open Letter on managing a range of skill levels at SysML/MBSE courses (for trainers, training organisations, and their potential clients)

Keywords
This is an open letter to MBSE trainers (especially SysML trainers), training organisations, and to organisations seeking to engage trainers and training organisations. It is not specific to the Webel IT Australia courses. It's for all of us involved in the SysML education community.
This content is "read-only" for your possible interest.

Some encouragement for those learning SysML

Keywords
Dr Darren explains:
If you are new to SysML, don't be too concerned about whether your modelling is perfect first up, because the great thing about MBSE tools - especially SysML tools - is they invite incremental improvement, and your fixes flow through all diagrams.

Modelling in SysML tools is part Science and part Art.

Q: What types of simulation, execution, and calculation are available for SysML with MagicDraw/Cameo?

Keywords

There are a number of ways of simulating and executing various aspects of Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML®), and they are not just novelties! They also really help your models become more robust, logical, and organised.

There is "internal" tool simulation of Activities and StateMachines based on fUML (or variations of it).

Webel's Best Practice policy notes for MBSE with SysML1.x (and UML) and the MagicDraw/Cameo tools

Keywords
The Webel Best Practice items for SysML (and for supporting UML) - tuned for the MagicDraw/Cameo tools - represent the world's most comprehensive guide to robust, fluent, enjoyable, consistent modelling for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), developed over two decades, and proven to work on extremely demanding real-world projects!

Keywords

Video style

A very simple demonstration of sending a Signal using a SendSignalAction and receiving it with an AcceptEventAction within Activities. Uses SysML but the same applies to UML.

Uses Cameo Simulation Toolkit for MagicDraw SysML and Cameo System Modeler.

Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo analysis: Possible "gotchas" when extending the SysML Block stereotype

Keywords

Audience: Users of MagicDraw SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler who are experimenting with creating custom stereotypes that extend Block.

This screencast video has been created to demonstrate some issues that can arise if you "naively" create a custom stereotype that extends Block without: (1) closing then re-opening your project; (2) creating an appropriate MD Customization. It is not about any actual "bug" in MagicDraw/Cameo (as long as you follow the recommended procedure). If you watch it, please do watch it to the end to find how to handle such stereotypes properly.

Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo: Pros and Cons of custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures

Keywords

Audience: Users of MagicDraw SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler who are experimenting with creating custom stereotypes for SysML.

This screencast video has been created to illustrate some pros and cons of using custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures, and demonstrates some possible "gotchas". It concerns especially use of custom stereotypes to indicate: (1) cross-cutting aspects such as model layer membership; (2) use of tagged values to carry per-Element metadata.
