_tagGroupings Ignored in EA 16.1 Technology Stereotype

[RealPecho]

Hi,

In my MDG Technology, I created a stereotype SignalSpecification with a generalization to SysML1.4::FlowProperty in EA 16.1. I added several tagged values:

• Physical (Type: QuantityKind, enumeration)
  Unit (Type: SI_Unit, enumeration)
  MaxValue (Type: int)
  MinValue (Type: int)
  Accuracy (Type: int)
  Resolution (Type: int)
  …

I also added _tagGroupings (Type: <none>, Initial Value):

Code: [Select]

Unit=PhysicalAttributes;Physical=PhysicalAttributes;MaxValue=SignalProperties;MinValue=SignalProperties;Accuracy=SignalProperties;Resolution=SignalProperties;
Following the Sparx example: https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/17.1/modeling_frameworks/define_tag_groupings.html

After regenerating the Technology, the tagged values appear, but the grouping is ignored.

Question: How can tagged values be properly grouped in a Technology stereotype in EA 16.1?

[RealPecho]

Ok, using the helper, my tagged values are now grouped correctly, but my stereotype has to extend a metaclass of type Class.

If the stereotype generalizes another stereotype, then grouping is not possible.

With this setup, I cannot drop the element as a child of a SysML1.4::Block, because the element is no longer a Property like SysML1.4::FlowProperty.

I don’t know how to make the element a Property again

You don't need to extend class. You can extend the same metaclass as the SysML1.4::Block

thank you for your reply! 

I understand that I should extend the same metaclass as SysML1.4::FlowProperty (not Class). However, in EA 16.1 MDG Technology modeling I do not see Property available in the “Extend Metaclass” dialog.

Could you please clarify how I can extend the same metaclass as SysML1.4::FlowProperty in an MDG model?

You should first figure out what the actual metaclass is.
The easiest way to figure that out, is to click on the [...] button next to the stereotype.
You'll notice that this is Part (not Property)
I just checked the add metaclass dialog from the profile helper, and I get both Part and Property as options.

But if your's doesn't, simply change the name of your Class metaclass to Part.
There is nothing special about those metaclasses, they are identified by their name.

Thanks! now it is working
