Thank you for your reply.

Right-click on the block and select “Show/Hide Compartments”. I don't have "Show/Hide Compartments". I have "Compartment Visibility"
Click on the “Customize” button next to the “Parts” compartment. I don't have that option.

Do I need to have EA in dev mode or something like that?
Be well

General Board / Display a subset of part properties

« on: January 16, 2024, 04:15:50 am »

Hello all,

In SysML model, I have a block that contains 7 part properties. In a specific block definition diagram (bdd), I want to display the block and its part compartment, but only show 3 parts out of the 7.

Is there any way that I can achieve that?

Thank you

I have the same question.

Were you able to find an answer? (I am using EA 16).

Thanks.

General Board / Allocating actions to blocks (SySML & EA16)

« on: January 12, 2023, 02:04:37 am »

Hello,

per the SySML standard, in an activity diagram, when an action is placed in a partition (swimlane), and the partition is assigned to a block with stereotype <<allocate>>, then an "allocation" relationship should get automatically generated between the action and the block. You should be able to see this allocation relationship on other diagrams that include the block and the action (ex: a block diagram with both elements on the diagram).

Somehow, EA16 is not creating this allocation relationship. Is there a certain setting that I need to have turned on? Is this a deficiency of EA16 with SySML?

All the posts that I have seen in this forum are from older EA versions and say that EA doesn't have that feature. I am wondering if this got addressed in EA16.

Thank you for your help
cheers

General Board / time event triggers in SysML State Machine Diagram

« on: July 26, 2022, 12:54:51 am »

Hello,

I am working on a State Machine Diagram (stm) using the SysML nomenclature. The stm displays triggers as text on transition lines. I have a time event trigger (Name: Timer, Specification: 2 min). 

Per SysML, this time event trigger should be displayed as "after (2 min)" on the transition line.

But in EA, I can't get the time event trigger to appear as such. Instead EA only shows the trigger name "Timer" on the transition line, rather than it's specification.

How can I get EA to display the timer trigger correctly per the SysML nomenclature?

thanks

I just tried it out and it worked seamlessly!
Thanks so much.

General Board / Default orientation for activity partition

« on: May 05, 2022, 02:03:25 pm »

Hello,

The default orientation for activity partition is the horizontal orientation. Is there a way to change that default to be vertical orientation?

Thank you

General Board / Re: sorting / arranging compartment items

« on: February 15, 2022, 02:41:05 pm »

Thank you for your reply!

I did see that a user can check the "ordered" box if the element has an upper limit multiplicity defined. Ex: if 10 bytes are part of Element B, then you can say that these 10 bytes are "ordered", which means there is a specific order for the 10 bytes.

What I can't figure out it is: where do I define/specify the order of these 10 bytes? for example, where do I specify that Byte 1 is User ID, Byte 2 is Age, Byte 3 is Gender...etc

Maybe the actual order of bytes will live in a comment rather than the element itself... sounds like that is a short coming of SySML or UML.

Cheers!

General Board / sorting / arranging compartment items

« on: February 15, 2022, 09:25:31 am »

Hello community

I would like to have control over how items are being displayed in an object compartment (ex: parts or values compartment). I understand that from a systems view, the order of these parts or values shouldn't matter, but when the object is a data packet, then the order of the values in the data packet is important. 

I know that attributes can be sorted using the Ctrl-UP or Ctrl-Down once selected in the "Features" window. BUT this does not apply to other compartments (ex: parts or values)

I thought the items in the parts or values compartments are sorted alphabetically, but that doesn't seem to happen every time.

Any ideas from the community: HOW can i represent a data packet with specific byte order sequence if I can not control how the "values" compartment is displayed?

cheers!
