Advanced SysML Concepts (Corporate Training)

Session 11: Allocation Relationships

• Purpose of allocation in SysML (connecting logical → physical, function → structure)
  
  

• Types of allocation:
  
  

  • Behavioral allocations (activities/functions to blocks)
    
    

  • Requirement allocations (requirements to design elements)
    
    

  • Structural allocations (interfaces to components)
    
    

• How allocation supports traceability and system consistency
  
  

Hands-On Exercise:

• Extend the Day 3 mini-project by allocating:
  
  

  • Use cases to blocks
    
    

  • Requirements to structure
    
    

  • Activities to components
    
    

Session 12: Tables and Matrices in SysML

• Purpose of tables and matrices: model navigation, traceability visualization
  
  

• Common table/matrix usages:
  
  

  • Requirement-to-Block table
    
    

  • Use Case-to-Requirement matrix
    
    

  • Function-to-Component allocation matrix
    
    

• How different tools (e.g., Cameo, Rhapsody) display tables/matrices
  
  

Hands-On Exercise:

• Generate a Requirement vs Block matrix from the mini-project
  
  

• Create a Use Case vs Function allocation table
  
  

Session 13: Stereotypes and Profiles (Basic)

• Why stereotypes and profiles? (Customization of SysML)
  
  

• Defining stereotypes (tags, properties, icons)
  
  

• Applying stereotypes to blocks and requirements
  
  

• Difference between a profile and a package
  
  

• Keeping it basic, without plugins
  
  

Hands-On Exercise:

• Create a custom stereotype for “Safety-Critical Requirement”
  
  

• Apply it to selected requirements in the mini-project
  
  

• Create a profile package to group stereotypes
  
  

Session 14: Integration and Review

• Combine allocations, tables, and stereotypes into the existing mini-project
  
  

• Review:
  
  

  • Requirements → allocated to Blocks
    
    

  • Functions → allocated to Components
    
    

  • Safety-critical tagged with stereotypes
    
    

  • Verified through table/matrix views
    
    

Group Work Exercise:

• Each team prepares an allocation matrix + stereotype-tagged model
  
  

• Teams present how they customized their SysML model
