Usage

To model Systems using SysML in Enterprise Architect, you work through the following steps:

•Create a Systems Engineering model to develop your system
•Create a Requirements model to define the systems requirements and expectations
•Create an Operational Domain model, which describes the environment that the system operates within, and the entities it interacts with
•Create Constraint models to describe the systems operating characteristics using parametric models
•Simulate the parametric models to verify their correctness and obtain the desired characteristic
•Design the system's composition using SysML Blocks and Parts
•Implement the embedded software using UML Classes and behavioral models
•Create a Library of reusable SysML blocks, representing subsystems that can be reused on other projects, and other common Type definitions
