Introduction - 631

• Inter-element pattern approach for each SysML v1.x language area.
• Practical Individual Project (PIP) overview and user-oriented modeling approach.
• Sample problem intro for PIP work (including ad-hoc description & raw material).
• In-class approach: concept lectures, in-class PIP exercises, in-class discussions.
• Wrap-up approach: self-paced work to finish PIP exercises; course wrap-up webcon.

Upfront Concepts (System Objectives) - 631

• Use cases (uc) and requirements (req).*

Structure Concepts - 631

• Packages and model organization (pkg).*
• Block and instance structures (bdd), block connectivity (ibd), block parametrics (par) and execution.*

Behavior Concepts - 631

• Unified block behavior architecture.*
• Interactions and message-based behavior (sd) and execution.*
• Activities and function-based behavior (act) and execution.*
• State machines and state-based behavior (stm) and execution.*

Cross-Cutting Concepts - Group1

• Cross-cutting SysML relationships.*
• Tables, matrices, views, viewpoints, and model-based documents.*
• Simulation tools and techniques for SysML model execution.*

Cross-Cutting Concepts - Group2

• Starter models, model templates, model-based deliverables, and model management.
• Introductory model architecture patterns for design/analysis/simulation interoperability.
• Introductory concepts for profiles and metamodels.
• Introductory model complexity assessment, including graph analysis tools & techniques.
• Intermediate expedited modeling concepts, including more about scripting.*

Content Notes: SysML 631 PIP covers each SysML v1.x language topic asterisked above (*) at the intermediate+ level (with a particular focus on inter-element pattern concepts. In contrast, SysML 621 MAP focused on intra-element concepts. For example, we cover a use case/activity refinement pattern, an analysis context pattern (leveraging block parametrics), and a unified block/state machine/activity/interaction behavior architecture (including how to implement the patterns in MagicDraw/Cameo). And so on for each SysML language topic.
