Systems Modeling Training in Dartmouth

This training will teach you how to use SysML, the modeling language for systems engineering. In particular, you will learn about block diagrams for structural modeling of complex systems. You will deepen the sequence diagram, state diagram and activity diagram for dynamic modeling.

You will also learn how to use specific SysML diagrams such as the requirements diagram and the parametric diagram, as well as the concept of allocation. We will also emphasize the need to define a modeling approach, adapted to the business context and the type of system to be studied.

The practice will be done using the Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modeling tool from NoMagic.

Teaching method

• Theoretical presentation illustrated with examples
• 50% practical work with Cameo Systems Modeler on a case study throughout the training

Domain Driven Design (DDD) is a powerful software development approach that focuses on modeling complex software behaviors by aligning technical implementation with core business concepts. This course explores how DDD helps teams manage complexity and reduce risk through strategic and tactical patterns. Participants will learn to build a "Ubiquitous Language," define clear boundaries through Bounded Contexts, and use specific building blocks like Entities, Value Objects, and Aggregates. The goal is to create flexible, maintainable software architectures that remain consistent with the evolving business domain.

Using a combination of lectures, demos, and interactive labs, this course showcases the foundations for building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) utilizing the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This instructor-led, live training is aimed at beginner-level engineers and professionals who wish to use MBPLE within CATIA Magic to understand and implement product line engineering concepts.

• By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
• Understand the key concepts and vocabulary of PLE and MBPLE
• Describe best practices for product line modeling
• Implement a product line definition process in CATIA Magic
• Use MBPLE features such as feature models, variation points, and configurations

The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental examination tests knowledge and skills required to construct a basic SysML model of a system. The examination covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and use of stereotypes. Using the knowledge and skills covered at this level plus familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be a productive contributor to modeling tasks performed by a Systems Engineering team employing a model-based systems engineering approach using SysML.  The OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification is a prerequisite for the program’s two higher levels, and requires the OCSMP Model User Certification as its prerequisite. 

This examination (as well as the others in the OCSMP series) tests your ability to apply the knowledge and skills listed here in the context of a model of a system. As you study, go beyond each individual diagram to understand how aspects that it models can influence or affect aspects of the system represented in other diagram types. 

Using a combination of lectures, demos, and interactive labs, this course showcases the foundations for building and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) utilizing the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

A deep dive into Model-Based Systems Engineering with Model Execution — this course equips systems engineers and enterprise architects with practical skills for simulating system behaviors using the Cameo Simulation Toolkit within MagicDraw. Dive into essential topics across Activity Diagrams, State Machine Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, Parametric Diagrams, and User Interface Modeling while executing trade studies and automating architecture workflows. Guides participants through model-based simulation techniques, fUML execution, constraint-based modeling, and requirements verification to validate system designs efficiently. Build confidence in using interactive graphical simulation interfaces to test architecture decisions and communicate stakeholder requirements. Ideal for professionals seeking to enhance their MBSE toolkit and streamline complex system verification through proven methods and hands-on industry exercises.

In this instructor-led, live training in Dartmouth (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to carry out system requirements analysis and modeling.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply SysML to Systems Engineering projects, using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach.
• Identify system requirements based on use case models.
• Design and analyze system architecture.

The course is designed for analysts, designers, developers, testers and project managers.

The workshop presents a problem analysis, design and documentation systems using UML and Enterprise Architect of Sparx Systems. During the training will be presented to the advanced capabilities of the program (such as MDA, profiles, XMI), and best practices that can greatly simplify and accelerate modeling.

Because the training focuses on the Enterprise Architect tool it is required for participants to already know how to model in UML. For those who would like to learn modeling we have dedicated training for UML.
