Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo: Pros and Cons of custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures

Audience: Users of MagicDraw SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler who are experimenting with creating custom stereotypes for SysML.

This screencast video has been created to illustrate some pros and cons of using custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures, and demonstrates some possible "gotchas". It concerns especially use of custom stereotypes to indicate: (1) cross-cutting aspects such as model layer membership; (2) use of tagged values to carry per-Element metadata.

Please note, this is not structured as a tutorial, it is an analysis screencast (but you can learn plenty from it). At about 1 hr 35 mins length, it is not anticipated that viewers will watch this entire analysis video in a single sitting; it serves as an advanced follow-up reference for attendees of Webel IT training courses for MBSE with SysML.

It is assumed that you have read the referenced MagicDraw help pages on Stereotypes and about creating your own Domain Specific Language (DSL) Customizations.
