Modeling Systems in Enterprise Architect
Using SysML in Enterprise Architect, the process of developing a model to design or investigate a system is quick and easy, but at the same time versatile and flexible with a full implementation of the SysML specification. An outline of the stages of the process, and the steps for the initial stage, are provided here.

Create a Requirements model to define the systems requirements and expectations.
The SysML Requirements Model provides the system requirements, the expected abstract behavior, and the operating constraints that the designed system must conform to. |

Create Constraint models to describe the systems operating characteristics, using parametric models.
|
SysML Parametric Models |
|
Simulate the parametric models to verify their correctness and obtain the desired characteristic.
SysML Parametric models support the engineering analysis of critical system parameters, including the evaluation of key metrics such as performance, reliability and other physical characteristics |
