In my last post I discussed Exit Conditions, Exits and their impact on capturing the decisions your system is making. I made a good start on this topic, but to properly cover the topic I need to cover a little more theory on multiple exits, discuss loops, loop exits, and …

In the past few months I’ve been writing about how to model basic SysML concepts of behavior using GENESYS. SysML has three largely separate approaches for modeling behavior: activities, interactions, and states. I’ve covered the modeling of behavior using activities and interactions in August (Modeling SysML Activities in GENESYS) and …

Modeling behavior in SysML can be painstaking and difficult to communicate to a broad range of stakeholders. Fortunately, GENESYS makes it easy to use SysML constructs in a way that facilitates a comprehensive and consistent behavioral model and makes it easier to discuss with a broad range of stakeholders. What …

Last week, in Part 1 of this series, I described how GENESYS displays SysML block features in compartments on block nodes. This week I’ll continue the discussion and describe how GENESYS deals with the SysML relationships of composition, references, generalization, and dependencies on a Block Definition Diagram, or BDD. Blocks …
