Overview Simple SysML for Beginners: Using CATIA No Magic Products is for beginners. This book is for beginning modelers who have just purchased a CATIA No Magic product that supports SysML modeling and are anxious to get started, but otherwise don't know too much about SysML and don't have much experience using SysML tools. The purpose of this book is to help the reader get through the initial learning curve and start the reader on the way to becoming proficient at SysML modeling. The book is designed to be a tool companion for two of the more comprehensive books on SysML: - SysML Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Systems Modeling Language by Lenny Delligatti. - A Practical Guide to SysML, Third Edition: The Systems Modeling Language by Sanford Friedenthal et al.. The techniques shown in this book will work for any of the Dassault Systèmes CATIA Magic and CATIA No Magic products that support SysML modeling, including: - MagicDraw with the SysML plugin. - Cameo Systems Modeler. - Cameo Enterprise Architecture. - CATIA Magic System of Systems Architect. - CATIA Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer. CATIA(R), NoMagic(R), and Cameo(R) are trademarks of Dassault Systèmes. Limitations Requirements Engineering - This book is not an exhaustive text on requirements engineering. However, the "Further Reading" appendix does list a number of excellent books for deeper understanding of this topic. - Tool Version - The first edition of this book was authored primarily on Cameo Systems Modeler version 19. There may be minor differences in the procedures for later versions of the tool. - Tool Manual - This is a beginner's introduction and is not a comprehensive reference for every feature of the tool. David Hetherington is a leading Model-Based Systems Engineering(MBSE) consultant serving multiple defense and commercial industry sectors. He has extensive personal experience in designing and leading design teams for both software and hardware covering an unusually broad range of system types. These complex systems have varied from real-time control, to software internationalization, to offshore oil drillships, to enterprise software applications, to automotive radar chipsets, to electronic publishing, and more. In addition to MBSE, he has a strong concentration of domain knowledge in safety, reliability, maintainability, and diagnostics. He uses this broad domain knowledge in combination with his MBSE skills to assist clients at two levels: - Individual Skills - He teaches engineers across a wide variety of disciplines to sharpen their systems thinking and produce higher quality work products by using MBSE tools and techniques to clarify the requirements and objectives of their specialized designs.- Organizational Transformation - He supports executives faced with the challenge of bringing teams with legacy, siloed, "document-centric" development habits into the integrated digital engineering future. David is an active member of: - INCOSE - International Council on Systems Engineering- IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers- SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers- United States Naval Institute David speaks Japanese and German fluently as well as some Chinese and Spanish. He lives in Austin, Texas. Olivier has an extensive background in electronics, with a special focus on microprocessors. Olivier moved to model-based development more than thirty years ago, first for software engineering, then for systems engineering. He has supported clients in developing rigorous specifications for major rail, automotive, aerospace/defense, medical, and embedded systems projects. During his long career in model-based development, Olivier has had the opportunity to work for several of the companies that have produced top model-based development tools. This experience has given him a nuanced understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each tool, as well as a strong understanding of where users run into difficulties understanding the tools and the modeling languages. He spends much of his time teaching the top SysML tools as well as teaching the Arcadia method and the open source Capella tool that supports it. He also coaches clients in developing their in-house tool methodologies, creates animated training materials, and serves as a mentor to senior product architects. He draws on his deep model-based development experience to help clients develop language and tools best practices all the way through the systems engineering "V" cycle - from the initial concept to field deployment and disposal. Olivier is a frequent conference speaker and serves clients worldwide - Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. He lives near Paris. Frank holds a degree in communications engineering, as well as a master's degree in electronics design. He worked for many years in the development of embedded real-time systems, gaining crucial intuition about the issues that drive the architecture and design of systems pr
