We are now going to illustrate the modeling of a complex application using the SysML Architect module. This case study has already been presented in literature [M. V. Linhares et al] and is based on the modeling of an industrial automation unit, which expresses different operations and control strategies. For the purposes of this Modelio user guide, we will present the high level models which are modeled using the SysML ARchitectmodule developed by Softeam.
Modeling methodology
The modeling starts from the highest level of the industrial automation unit, by first modeling the different top level components of the system. Next, a behavioral SysML use case diagram is presented to determine the different case scenarios present in the system. Following that, we gradually descend to the low level components and illustrate their relative aspects such as behavior expressed via SysML diagrams like state and sequence diagrams.
