Overview of Current SysML/UML and MATLAB/Simulink® Integration Use Case and Implementations

We often get question how Cameo Systems Modeler (or MagicDraw) and SysML/UML integrates with MATLAB/Simulink? Let’s go through integration use case and current implementations. Integration Use Case and Implementations 1st Case. Run MATLAB/Simulink Analytical Models From MagcDraw with Parameters from UML/SysML Model and Get Results Back Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is used to capture systems […]

Use of Delegation Connector to Forward Signal

If you want to model communication channel which crosses part of the system but does not affect it you can use delegation connector. This would allow to send signal from one system part forward it through intermediate one and receive it at target system part. Video demonstrating sample Rocket sample Let’s take rocket model sample. […]

Building Executable SysML Model – Automatic Transmission System (Part 1)

SysML allow both structural and behavioral modeling of the system. SysML models can be formally interpreted and executed. Ones executed analysis can be performed at system level. Ones we are good with simulation results we can prototype. Using programmable Lego Mindstors NXT for prototyping is an out of the box way to test and demonstrate […]

Custom Metrics: How to Convert List of Elements into Number?

You might already thought about tracking metrics based on model data. However how difficult is to create your own metric? Using MagicDraw metrics capability and structured expression dialog to setup almost any metric logic and calculate it requires no coding. If you already using structured expression dialog to query model for derived properties or smart […]

Total Mass, Cost, and Power Rollups

The rollup calculations are among the most common use cases in systems engineering. System modelers want to calculate total mass, cost, power, or another system dimension, based on individual values of all the parts in the model. During this webinar, you will learn how to perform different kind of rollup calculations in the MagicDraw model with Cameo […]

Variant Modeling with SysML

Many systems exist in different configurations. A product line, a custom product or different designs for trade-off studies. The current version 1.2 of SysML doesn’t provide explicit built-in language constructs to model variants. The profile mechanis of SysML can be used to extend SysML with a concept for variant modeling. I’ve defined a simple variant […]
