  2. Enter the Diagram properties.

The diagrams will be saved and can be found in the Model Explorer view.

Diagram Modelling

The tutorial will show you how to model diagrams. To do this, you’ll create objects and link them together.

  2. Add System structure.
  3. Connect Elements.

The diagrams will be saved and can be found in the Model Explorer view.

Deriving an FMEA from System Design

Precondition: The system design has been defined. 

  1. Select Create FMEA in the context menu of the desired root element
  2. Select an FMEA folder of your project.

Deriving an Internal Block diagram from Block Definition diagram

  2. Select the source file
  3. Select the target location.
  4. Apply the SOX stereotypes to the imported objects.

Individual SysML profiles can not be imported. You can review in the „Diagnosis“ dialog all objects that can not be imported. If you want to create diagrams with these objects you have to create them later.

Import from XMI 2.1

Generating SOX stereotypes / Deriving FMEA from SYSML
  1. Create a new SOX project.
  2. Import an XMI 2.1 xml file.
  3. Create a SOX functions diagram.
  4. Derive an FMEA file.
