Introduction

In the tutorial section, you will see how to use the software performing basic tasks.

Getting Started

To get started 2 simple tasks are required to be accomplished.

Starting MagicDraw

Run your MagicDraw and open a SysML model.

Opening the adapter panels

Opening of the panels can be performed by pressing the button with the COMET icon in the tool bar.

Connect to the hub by pressing the “Connect” button.

Using the Software on a Typical Task

Mapping from a SysML model in MagicDraw to E-TM-10-25

1. First, change the transfer direction so that the mapping source is the SysML model.
2. Select one Element to be mapped with its children in one of the MagicDraw element trees.
3. Right click on your selection and select “Map Selection”.
4. Map one of the selected Block Element to one ElementDefinition or choose the automatic mapping defined by the mapping dialog.
5. Map one of the selected Requirement Element to one RequirementsSpecification or choose the automatic mapping defined by the mapping dialog.
6. Inspect the net change in the impact view and select the mapped elements to be transferred.

Mapping from a Comet model to SysML

1. First, change the transfer direction so that the mapping source is the Comet model.
2. Select one Element to be mapped with its children in the MagicDraw element browser.
3. Right click on your selection and select “Map Selection”.
4. Map one of the selected ElementDefinition to an existing Block element or choose the automatic mapping defined by the mapping dialog.
5. Map one of the selected Requirement to one MagicDraw Requirement or choose the automatic mapping defined by the mapping dialog.
6. Inspect the net change in the impact view and select the mapped elements to be transferred.

Transferring

When you have some mapping defined, you can select among the mapped element of what element you want to transfer. This can be achieved by manually select each element or by using the context menu like shown in the Figure 10. Please note that any relationship created during the mapping are only transferred if the elements one relationship connect are transferred at the same time. The same rule applies to interfaces when mapping to SysML.

The Figure 11 shows that the transfer is in progress. When it is done any loaded mapping configuration will be reloaded.
