HOWTO: manage block structure and assign values with MD SysML

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  • diagram complex hierachical systems:
    • use MagicDraw diagram navigation hyperlinks on Block and part Property
      symbols to aid navigation between system diagrams
    • use logical <<composition>> "wrapper" Components to handle complex assemblies in Block Definition Diagrams (BDD)s
  • organise your systems engineering projects and package systems engineering blocks:
  • create, manage, and assign physical engineering values with units to Blocks:
    • create Dimension, Unit, and ValueType types
      • reuse the MD SysML Unit and Dimension libraries
      • create a custom ValueType for industrial systems engineering
    • create a value property in a Block
    • configure complex systems with values such as: default values, initial values, and complete value states:
      • assign property-specific initial values to part Properties (Block usages) of higher context Blocks:
        • use Slots of InstanceSpecifications typed by Blocks to carry property-specific initial values for matching part Properties
        • assign values of Slots of an InstanceSpecification to the property-specific initial values of a matching part Property in an IBD
        • display property-specific initial values in a part Property
        • organise <<InitialValues>> InstanceSpecifications in a <<BlockModel>> or <<BlockPackage>>
      • progress towards convenient management and assignment of deep configuration data for entire systems
