SysML/MBSE: Cameo/MagicDraw: MagicGrid® and the MagicGrid® Book of Knowledge: A pragmatic review of some selected aspects by Dr Darren of Webel IT Australia
SysML4Mathematica: Example 06: Sensible heating: 'qSen' per mass (+ve): energy transfer TO humid air
Dr Darren offers some encouragement for those learning Systems Modeling Language (SysML) for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
Dr Darren explains:
If you are new to SysML, don't be too concerned about whether your modelling is perfect first up, because the great thing about MBSE tools - especially SysML tools - is they invite incremental improvement, and your fixes flow through all diagrams, thanks to the power of Single Source Of Truth!
Modelling in SysML tools is part Science and part Art.
The Webel Recipe for SysML-friendly Wolfram Language coding in Mathematica
As part of a long term project developed, initially during work for a client, Webel IT Australia in partnership with GreenSoft Pty Ltd is developing a very complex Mathematica application with substantial SysML modelling support.
No Magic Inc vs Dassault Systèmes 3DS CATIA Magic product names for UML/SysML tools
No Magic Inc., the original developers of the MagicDraw/Cameo tools for Unified Modeling Language (UML®) and Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML®) - were acquired in 2017/2018 by Dassault Systèmes, and the MagicDraw/Cameo family of software tools have been rebranded.

CATIA Magic zone
In 2018, Dassault Systèmes acquired No Magic Inc, the developers of the MagicDraw/Cameo family of software products for Unified Modeling Language (UML®) and Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML®), which included including: MagicDraw® UML (aka Magic Software Architect), MagicDraw SysML Plugin, Magic Cyber-System
MEMKO Systems
MEMKO Systems has been appointed by Dassault Systèmes (who acquired No Magic in 2018) as the CATIA No Magic Value Solutions Partner and Reseller for Australia and New Zealand.
Q: What types of simulation, execution, and calculation are available for SysML with MagicDraw/Cameo?
There are a number of ways of simulating and executing various aspects of Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML®), and they are not just novelties! They also really help your models become more robust, logical, and organised.
There is "internal" tool simulation of Activities and StateMachines based on fUML (or variations of it).

Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo analysis: Possible "gotchas" when extending the SysML Block stereotype
Video style
Audience: Users of MagicDraw SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler who are experimenting with creating custom stereotypes that extend Block.
This screencast video has been created to demonstrate some issues that can arise if you "naively" create a custom stereotype that extends Block without: (1) closing then re-opening your project; (2) creating an appropriate MD Customization. It is not about any actual "bug" in MagicDraw/Cameo (as long as you follow the recommended procedure). If you watch it, please do watch it to the end to find how to handle such stereotypes properly.
Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo: Pros and Cons of custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures
Video style
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.
