This training course will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will discover in particular block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state machine diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn how to use SysML-specific diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasise the need to define a modelling approach tailored to the company's context and the type of system under study. Practical application will be carried out using the NoMagic Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modelling tool.

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems involving both hardware and software.

Teaching Method:

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to construct a foundational SysML model of a system. The exam encompasses model concepts and organisation, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behaviour models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. By leveraging the knowledge and skills covered at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modelling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modelling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML. The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the programme’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite.

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types.

In this instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or at your premises), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modelling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyse system architecture.

This hands-on training will show you how to use the SysML modelling language effectively. You will discover, in particular, how to use block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. You will also learn to use specific SysML diagrams, such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the key concept of allocation. We will also focus on the need to define a modelling approach that is adapted to the company's context and the type of system under study. Finally, we will review the current state of the art in SysML modelling tools.

Audience:

Project managers, architects and systems engineers who need to model complex systems involving both software and hardware

Teaching Method:

• Theoretical presentation with examples
• Paper-based case study (trainer demonstration of a SysML tool)
