Overview
This is a 3-day training covering principles of modeling, UML, SysML and use of MagicDraw or Cameo following a case study, which demonstrates a typical model-based systems engineering approach.
The course:
- Includes lectures and hands-on practice in using MagicDraw or Cameo for systems modeling using SysML;
- Explains major SysML concepts and diagrams;
- Provides hands-on experience building system model examples;
- Shows how to trace model elements in different views;
- Explains how to use MagicDraw features efficiently;
- Is based on a consistent modeling case study.
Audience:
- System architects, system engineers, software architects and other stakeholders who will create and use models.
Methods:
- Presentations, discussions, and case study-based practical assignments.
Course Materials:
- Slides, case study model, and practical assignment descriptions.
Certificates:
- Each participant receives NobleProg certificate indicating that he/she attended the training.
Requirements
Understanding of systems engineering process.
