SysML Parametric Diagram Modeling Guidelines

Parametric Diagrams model a network of constraints on system properties to support engineering analysis, such as performance, reliability, and mass properties analysis. OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™ Version 1.6).

The following guidelines apply:

Connectors

They are similar to the Internal Block Diagram except that the only connectors allowed are binding connectors, each having at least one end connected to a constraint parameter.

Compatibility
If ports are connected via Connector, both port types must be compatible and the connector ends need to be defined.

Red Connector Lines

• When red connector lines are shown in the published model you can right click on the "Update Connector Ends" menu.
• Connection errors may also exist in Rhapsody prior to publish. Ensure the Connectors have defined Ends prior to publish.
• MagicDraw provides a Warning when the GraphEdge is not in the same direction as the Semantic Connector

Ownership

The following ownership rules apply in the target tool:

1. The Parts have to be owned by a Block
2. The Constraint properties in the diagram have to be owned by the same Block
3. The Properties in the diagram have to be owned by the Block
4. The BindingConnectors in the diagram have to be owned by the Block
