How to simulate an activity diagram (SysML) in EA.
« on: December 03, 2020, 11:26:24 pm »
Can someone tell me how to model and simulate the diagram on Figure 11-12: Continuous system example 3, page 148, of the latest SysML specificaiton? Originally I was confused on whether to use control flow or object flow but the latest version now makes it clear which line is what (dashed for control, solid for object flow I assume). However, I am trying to duplicate this diagram in EA and simulate it but have been unsuccessful so far.

Thanks for the tip, that worked perfectly for displaying the lines as shown in the standard.

One more thing however is the simulation of such an activity diagram. When I simulate it, the activity runs from start to finish without stopping at the decision. If I insert an Initial node, it stops there, but then I cannot select a branch. I also don't know if the out parameter was set to enable or disable for example.
