Note: The SysML notation used in these slides roughly corresponds to SysML draft v0.9 plus more recent updates (approximately R. Burkhart blocks inputs as contained
in SysML spec v0.98 by SST) and experimental variations. We intend to update these examples with the final official notation when v1.0 that becomes available.

Status of Our SysML Examples - p.1/2
2005-12-06
1.
About the SysML notation used in these slides
1.
It roughly corresponds to a ~9/2005 form of the blocks-based
parametrics & structure approach developed by R. Burkhart et al.
1.
2.
2.
2.
This approach was updated & provided to both SysML teams 11/2005
The SST SysML v0.98 draft spec adopted this approach, whereas
the SP SysML v1.0a draft spec adopted a collaborations-based approach
We recently received a SysML tool that corresponds to the v.0.98 spec.
We hope to update these examples and solver interfaces accordingly
in the near future.
SST SysML v0.98 vs. our current examples:
1.
2.
3.
3.
Block properties should be shown as small boxes flush with block boundaries vs. our current
overlapping style
Bindings between regular blocks and constraint blocks should show their role names (as binding
identifiers) vs. our current elision
Instances should be underlined vs. our current underlining omission
(see also note below about instance causality)
Other notes
1.
We hope to include the following notation in future versions (they are not required by the
current specs, but we believe they will enhance parametric diagram usefulness):
1.
2.
Include symbols and subscripts for properties per traditional engineering notation
1.
E.g., spring constant in spring 1: k1
Include relation expressions in constraint blocks in terms of their bound properties
(continued next page)

Other notes (continued)
1.
In these examples we tested the following notation or practices on an experimental basis
to see if they might be useful:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
2.
We did the following to enable our constraint manager, XaiTools, to process SysML parametrics
(which provides subsequent solver execution using COTS math and FEA tools):
1.
2.
3.
Copyright © 2005
We distinguished parametric diagrams used for defining a block (par-d) vs. those used to capture instances
(par-i) of that block. Similar suffixes may be useful for definitional vs. instance use of all SysML diagrams.
We have a library of constraint blocks representing specific commonly used expressions (e.g., a=b+c,
a**2=b**2+c**2, etc.) that can be utilized in composing other blocks. To represent specialized relations, we
tried defining a generic “algebraic” constraint block in this library, which can be redefined wherever it is used. In
future versions we will likely replace this generic “algebraic” relation with relations defined in the context of the
blocks that use them.
We implemented equality relations as usages of an explicit “a=b” constraint block. We will likely replace such
cases with binding relations in the future.
We used a black dot graphical symbol to denote true junctions where equality relations intersect (e.g., as a
shorthand for a set of relations like a=b, a=c, a=d, and a=e). This approach is similar to that used with
electrical schematics and a Manhattan routing style. It enables cleaner and more compact diagram layout.
We depict instance-level causality in the Triangular Prism example using a double-lined box to indicate the
primary desired result (and red italics to indicate other ancillary results).
Added stereotypes to denote composable object (COBs) constructs: «git-schema», «git-use-from», etc.
Added stereotypes to denote the patterns defined in our multi-representation architecture (MRA) approach
for CAD-CAE interoperability: «apm», «cbam», «abb», «smm»
Handled reference properties (e.g., flap link material) via ad-hoc associations (this is due to a limitation in
XaiTools we hope to resolve in the near future).

for importing resulting solutions is not ready yet; thus, the solved state depicted here inside the SysML tool is an envisioned notation.

Generalized MRA Patterns for Systems-of-Systems (SoS) M&S
Traditional Patterns
(for CAD-CAE)
Traditional CAD-CAE Purpose
regarding Design-Analysis Integration (DAI)
- Define systems (parts, assemblies, …) in necessary &
sufficient descriptive terms (not behavioral)
- Usually are COTS tools
analyzable product models
- Represent design aspects of products and enable connections
(APMs)
with design tools
- Support idealizations usable in numerous analysis models
- Have possibly many associated CBAMs that verify
requirements
context-based
- Contain linkages explicitly representing design-analysis
analysis models
associativity, indicating usage of APM idealizations
(CBAMs)
- Create analysis models from ABBs and automatically connect
them to APM attributes
- Represent common analysis models as automated, predefined
templates
- Support interaction of analysis models of varying complexity
and solution method
- Enable parametric design studies via multi-directional
input/output (in some cases)
analysis building blocks
- Represent analytical concepts as composable objects
(ABBs)
- Act as semantically rich 'pre-preprocessor' & 'postpostprocessor' models.
(generic analytical concepts) - ABB instances create SMM instances based on solution
method considerations and receive results after automated
solution tool execution
solution method models
- Packages solution tool inputs, outputs, and control as
(SMMs)
integrated objects (often as a componentized wrapping of
solution tool native files)
- Automates solution tool access and results retrieval via tool
agents and wrappers
solution tools
- Execute simulation models (often as vendor-specific native
(CAE)
files)
- Usually are COTS tools
design tools

Background
This simple part provides the basis for a benchmark tutorial for CAD-CAE interoperability and
simulation template knowledge representation. This example exercises multiple capabilities relevant to
such contexts (many of which are relevant to broader simulation and knowledge representation
domains), including:
• Diversity in design information source, behavior, fidelity, solution method, solution tool, ...
• Modular, reusable simulation building blocks and fine-grained inter-model associativity
See the following for further information (including papers overviewing this example):
