General Board / Re: Problems with SysML

To add parts to a block, create an internal block diagram for the block.  Then, add properties to the diagram.  Give the properties the stereotype "BlockProperty".  It will then appear as a part in the block.

You will need to save the internal block diagram and, possibly, refresh the block definition diagram to have the new part(s) displayed.

Thanks for the reply.

Are you suggesting setting the run-time state to deal with the block values problem?  I received a reply from support saying block values are currently not implemented - they caused database performance issues.  So, I guess I'll add them as stereotyped attributes for now.

I've figured out how to add parts to the blocks, so that's a step in the right direction.  I still cannot do anything with valueTypes, nor can I add items to a flow spec.  Both of these are pretty fundamental to what I need to do.

I hope I haven't purchased a tool that's not far enough along to be useful.

General Board / Problems with SysML

« on: July 02, 2009, 04:21:15 am »

I'm having some problems with creating SysML models.

First, I do not seem to be able to add values to blocks.  I can add attributes and give them the stereotype "values", but that does not seem to be the correct way to do it (or is it?).  There just doesn't seem to be a values compartment and/or means of entering them.

Second, I'm unable to add or modify dimensions or units of valuetypes.  When I try to do so, the 'Set Element Classifier' dialog appears, but it always lists <none> as the available classifiers, regardless of the namespace.  At first I thought I was not using packages correctly, but the same thing happens with the example models.

Can someone please help me with these issues?

Thanks.

Yes, the dimension and unit tagged values appear in the tagged value window when I select a valueType.  However, it will not let me type in a value for these tagged values (set the dimension to length, for example).  Instead, to the right of where the value would be entered is "...".  If I click on that or double click on the field where I'd enter the value, it displays the Set Element Classifier dialog.  But, I cannot enter the value here either because it shows <none> as the available values.  There is a pull-down where I can set the namespace, but the result is the same regardless of the namespace selected.

What am I checking about them?  How do I do so?

I am having trouble with SysML valuetypes.  I cannot seem to set the dimensions or units.  Regardless of the namespace, I get <none> when the Set Element Classifier dialog appears.  This is true for both my models and the SysML examples.  The examples have dimensions and units set, so there must be some way to do it.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Values in SysML blocks

« on: June 23, 2009, 07:25:55 am »

I cannot figure out how to enter values into SysML blocks when using the MDG add-in.  Could someone please give me a hand with that?

Thanks,
