As a natural extension to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for software modelling and specification, the Object Management Group (OMG), together with its industrial partners, has set a standard for the system modelling language SysML. This language supports the integral modelling and specification of software intensive systems and helps to improve system-architecting practices by enabling systematic model-based systems engineering (MBSE).

Our course System Modelling with SysML aims to provide a basic working knowledge of the various modeling techniques offered in the SysML.

Detailed explanation & relevance

This training is available for open enrollment as well as for in-company sessions. For in-company sessions, the System modelling with SysML training can be adapted to your situation and special needs.

Objective

Participants will learn:

  • A general approach to model based system engineering;
  • Allocate functionality in use cases over the system parts;
  • The various modeling techniques in the SysML;
  • To describe behavior using state machine diagrams;
  • To capture functional requirements using use cases;
  • To describe behavior using activity diagrams;
  • To model dependencies between functional and non-functional requirements;
  • To address allocation of behavior, e.g. to software or hardware parts;
  • To model system structure using block diagrams with parts and ports;
  • To model physical and logical constraints, and studying trade-offs;
  • Some heuristics and evaluation techniques to obtain high quality models.

Target audience

This course is intended for:

  • System analysts;
  • Systems engineers;
  • System architects;
  • Managers who are responsible for the delivery of software intensive systems;
  • Professionals moving into system-level engineering

The participants will need to have working knowledge of UML and an initial understanding of generic system engineering processes.
