System Composer for Architecture Modeling

Day 1 of 1

Introduction to Model-Based Design

Objective: Introduce the concept of Model-Based Design and outline the advantages of System Composer.

• Advantages of System Composer
• Model-Based Design Process
• Subsystem Implementation
• Testing, Verification and Validation
• Course Example Walkthrough

Working with Requirements

Objective: Articulate general attributes of requirements and capture requirements with Simulink Requirements.

• Identifying and writing high-level requirements
• Writing requirements
• Creating requirement sets
• Importing requirements

Logical System Architectures

Objective: Introduce the three main types of system architectures and build logical architectures.

• Distinguishing between functional, logical and physical architectures
• Creating logical architectures
• Creating interfaces in System Composer
• Linking Simulink models

Physical System Architectures

Objective: Discuss how to create variant and reference components, and how to use physical ports.

• Creating physical ports in physical architectures
• Adding reference architectures
• Adding variant components

Capturing and Analyzing System Properties

Objective: Capture system properties for individual elements with stereotypes and leverage MATLAB^® to analyze and aggregate these properties.

• Introducing profiles and stereotypes
• Creating and customizing stereotypes for elements
• Creating stereotype properties
• Analyzing system properties with MATLAB

Enhancing Architecture Traceability

Objective: Generate views, diagrams, allocations, and tracking requirements to enhance the digital thread of the project.

• Generating hierarchical diagrams of architecture models
• Highlighting specific paths, domains, and areas of responsibility in architecture models
• Using sequence diagrams
• Allocating between functional, logical, and physical architectures
• Tracking requirement traceability
