SysML by example with Cameo Systems Modeler Training Course

This course aims to instruct students on the core principles of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its usage via Magicdraw/Cameo software, fundamental Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation techniques, and established MBSE best practices.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology for managing complex software behaviours during development.

This course provides an introduction to Enterprise Architect, designed for individuals who intend to utilize Sparx Systems’ UML modelling tool but are new to its features, functions, and practical application.

Combining lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course illustrates the foundational methods for establishing and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) through the use of the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This course is designed to teach the fundamentals of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its application via the MagicDraw/Cameo software, basic Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation techniques, and MBSE best practices. The training covers the creation of templates and report generation within the MagicDraw/Cameo tool suite, while explaining how macros and scripts function within MagicDraw and their potential applications.

This course aims to teach the core principles of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its application using MagicDraw/Cameo software, fundamental MBSE simulation techniques, and industry best practices. It is also designed to equip professionals with the background knowledge needed for architectural simulation, introduce the Simulation Toolkit plugin, cover the simulation of various diagram types, and demonstrate how to link diagram simulations to automate architecture.​

This course is designed to teach the fundamental principles of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), its application via MagicDraw/Cameo software, core Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) simulation techniques, and best practices in MBSE. The training covers the essential concepts and features of validation rules, validation suites, and model metrics, and is structured to introduce the core principles and functionalities of developing and using model queries in MagicDraw/Cameo.​

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to construct a basic SysML model of a system. The exam covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills covered at this level, plus familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led live training Portugal (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

This hands-on training demonstrates how to effectively utilise the SysML modelling language. Participants will explore block diagrams for structurally modelling complex systems, while deepening their understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. Additionally, the course covers specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and parametric diagram, alongside the crucial concept of allocation. Attention is also given to defining a modelling approach tailored to the organisation’s context and the system under study. Finally, the current state of SysML modelling tools will be reviewed.

Audience:

Project managers, architects, and system engineers responsible for modelling complex systems that encompass both software and hardware components.

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation accompanied by examples
• Case study conducted on paper, featuring a SysML tool demonstration by the trainer

This intensive 3-day programme covers the fundamentals of modeling, UML, and SysML, alongside the practical application of MagicDraw or Cameo through a comprehensive case study. This approach demonstrates a typical model-based systems engineering methodology.

Course Materials:

• Presentation slides, the case study model, and descriptions of practical assignments.

Certification:

• Each participant receives a NobleProg certificate confirming their attendance at the training.

Over the course of two days, this training focuses on the simulation of SysML models.

Designed for professionals seeking to leverage Cameo Simulation Toolkit to effectively build and execute SysML diagrams and models, this instructor-led live training is available in both onsite and remote formats.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Preparing and configuring SysML diagrams for simulation purposes.
• Executing Activity diagrams.
• Executing State Machine diagrams.
• Executing Parametric diagrams.
• Executing Sequence diagrams.

Participants must meet the prerequisites and possess a solid understanding of SysML diagrams to attend this course.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practical practice.
• Hands-on implementation within a live-lab environment.

Course Customization Options

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop covers problem analysis, design, and system documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. The training highlights the program's advanced capabilities (such as MDA, profiles, and XMI) alongside best practices that can significantly streamline and accelerate the modeling process.

As the training concentrates on the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess UML modeling skills. For those wishing to learn modeling fundamentals, we offer dedicated UML training courses.

Training Methodology

10% Lecture, 90% Workshop

Designed for business analysts, managers, team leaders, and process owners, this course provides the essential competencies needed to create use case diagrams and scenarios. These tools serve as an effective means of eliciting, analysing, documenting, and communicating functional requirements. Participants will gain hands-on experience creating use cases using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to visually represent interactions between actors and use cases.
