Dr Darren guides you through tutorial trails that explain practical modelling, diagramming, and engineering techniques with MagicDraw UMLTM. The methods demonstrated here are based on many years of experience using and applying MagicDraw UMLTM on real-world problems, and are developed in close consultation with the MagicDraw developers, the MagicDraw Support Team, newsgroup contributions, and customer feedback.
Examples for these tutorials are taken from the OMGTM specifications and from a wide-range of applications such as:
- Examples adapted from contributions and questions from customers (we thank you).
- UML Software Engineering: learn about Java and XML engineering in MagicDraw UML from functioning examples taken from Dr Darren's ModelServer system for modelling, control, simulation, and animation of scientific instruments.
- SysML Systems Engineering: learn how to model hierarchical block systems and heterogeneous hardware, electronics, and software systems using the SysML Plugin for MagicDraw UML, and how to use software ports, control ports, and flowports. Examples include:
- The Hybrid Sports Utility Vehicle sample problem from the SysML1.0 specification.
- Your home HiFi system as a SysML block model with control ports and audio flows.
- Scientific instrument models (such as neutron beam instruments and radiotelescopes).
- UML analysis models: learn how to translate technical texts into UML models and ontologies using Dr Darren's UML Parsing Analysis recipe for MagicDraw UML. Examples are taken from interesting Wikipedia articles.
As well as the tutorial trails, you will find many mini-examples, which address questions that are often asked by customers and on the MagicDraw newsgroups. There is also an eSchool modelling FAQ (which supplements the official MagicDraw FAQ).
Please note: the emphasis of the eSchool is on practical modelling in the tooi. For all support questions please email support@magicdraw.com, and post your other questions to the MagicDraw newsgroups news.nomagic.com.
We hope you enjoy these new MagicDraw UML tutorial trails !
