Simulation: Send Information from Activity Diagram to State Machine

[epizykloid]

Hi there,

1) I have a statemachine, where one state is calling an Activity Diagram (as child diagram). In this Activity diagram I would like to write a value into a signal which then can be used by statemachine as guard condition. I tried the send signal action, but I think I failed by chosing the right target action pin.

2) I have a statemachine, where one state is calling an Activity Diagram (as child diagram). In this Activity diagram I would like to create a trigger that immediately triggers the state machine to switch state. Is that somehow possible?

Thanks in advance!

Uhm, you can't "call" a diagram.

Sorry for the wording. I use a call behaviour and it then opens the activity diagramm. How can I express this correctly?

I'd guess executing a callbehavior in a do/enter/exit is what you're looking for

So far, my state has and owned behaviour, then it executes the according activity (so in the simulation the activity diagram is opened the simulation runs through it). I know I can easily assign values to a signal attribute in the state (with do/enter/exit). But I do not understand how to model this as a "task" of an activity. So far it only works when I model it as an effect of an action.

You should probably mention in the title that you are asking about the simulation. (I can't help with that)
