Update for SysML
« on: December 23, 2008, 04:32:09 pm »
The last mention of SysML in conjunction with a release is really old. I downloaded the trial and it doesn't quite match my reference: A Practical Guide to SysML; Friedenthal, Moore, and Steiner. For example, Friedenthal, et al, describes Part, Reference, and Value properties but EA seems to have only BlockProperty. Also, it looks like the plug-in was released prior to 9/2007 when v 1.0 of the language specificaiton was released.

I also noticed that displaying the diagrams as a list isn't well supported. If you try to filter the list you'll see that the pulldown doesn't contain SysML types (Block, PartProperty, etc.).

Any improvements to SysML support coming?

Thanks,
Dan

Please, kindly raise a formal feature request with Sparxsystems.
A number of Add-Ins need be updated and I am hoping that the new release of EA (7.5) might be the trigger.

kind regards

Just for your information about filtering objects in the list, if the pulldown does not contains types which you want to use, press the button next to the pulldown and select a SysML technology's group.

Took me a few clicks to figure it out but sure enough! "Select another Toolbox or Technology"->MDG Technology for SysML enables filtering on SysML types. Just added this commend to make it a little easier for others.

Still, seems like there are SysML improvements to be made.

Thanks for the help,
Dan
