General Board / Re: State Machine Simulation Problems (entry/exit, history, nested)

Or perhaps an easier question: How do I simulate an entry point?

I have tried connection point references (see http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.0/model_domains/create_a_connection_point_refe.html) and to do something with composite states, but the simulation stops right before the entry point!

General Board / State Machine Simulation Problems (entry/exit, history, nested)

« on: January 24, 2018, 12:37:10 am »

Hi all,

I'm running into a few Problems when trying to simulate state machines. To experiment with EA's capabilities I tried to reproduce the STM on page 35 of the Simulation User Guide here: http://sparxsystems.com/resources/user-guides/simulation/executable-state-machines.pdf.

The problems are:
1. Shallow History is not functioning as intended (it is acting as a normal initial). Region B and E are also not activated.
2. Entry point is not available. Although modeled according to the guide, EA does not provide me with the waiting trigger "ENTRYPOINT". Manually activating the trigger does nothing.
3. Deep history is not available. Same as above.
4. Rogue state activation of D2 and consequently D3. When the "DEFAULT" trigger is fired, the state D2 gets activated as well for some reason.

I'm using EA 13 and SysML 1.4 (also tried with UML). If you have any advice or need some more information let me know!

Cheers,
Inuit
