| Cameo Simulation Toolkit Plugin 17.0.2 SP3 |
|
| Introduction | Installation | More information and support | Evaluation version limitation |
Cameo Simulation Toolkit is a MagicDraw plugin, enabling activity, statemachine and parametric simulation (execution), animation, and debug in UML and SysML models. Cameo Simulation Toolkit 17.0.2 SP3 is compatible with:
Composite Structure Diagram Support Signals on Ports and Connectors: you can now model and execute completely encapsulated and independent components as well as internal behaviors, since you do not need to know external signal targets anymore. Signals can be sent to owned ports. See Stereo System example for more details.
Time Series Chart for monitoring runtime value changes over a period of time. See Cruise Control example for more details.
Sequence Diagram as Execution Trace: execution events visualization as Sequence Diagram.
Clock Ration: the custom ratio of the simulated time to modeled time can be specified in ExecutionConfig. This allows manual simulation of state machines with timing events in few milliseconds.
Autorun flag - a new option autorun in ExecutionConfig: when true (default), starts execution automatically from main MagicDraw toolbar (additional click on Run Execution in Simulation Console after initialization is not needed when this flag is set to true).
Lock UI Checkbox in Simulation Window: when the values, sessions and console output information is not important, e.g., there is a nice mock-up panel for simulation (as in the Cruise Control sample), check this option to freeze such information and enhance simulation performance.
ALH improvements: ALH for sending a signal to an exact object.
Convenient context menus for configuring ExecutionConfig and ExecutionLog have been added.
Simulate Activity diagram, i.e. Activity-based simulation.
Simulate Statemachine diagram, i.e. Start chart simulation.
Simulate SysML Parametric diagram, i.e. Parametric simulation.
Simulation Console.
Simulation Variables pane.
Simulation Breakpoints pane.
Simulation Math Console.
Customizable simulation animation.
Model validation before simulation execution.
Model-driven execution configuration.
Autogenerated (nested) mock-up panel.
API for custom mock-up panel.
Export Statemachines to SCXML files.
Support usage of various languages on OpaqueBehaviors.
Support TimeEvents on Transitions.
Support hierarchy of signals.
Configurable Execution Log File (simulation.log) in User Home directory.
Connector to MATLAB® ¹.
Action Language Helper (ALH) API.
API for registering new user-defined mathematical functions to the built-in mathematical engine.
Sample of API usage: Interaction Engine as a separate plugin (see Section 5 of Cameo Simulation Toolkit API UserGuide.pdf).
Other improvements:
New samples are added, i.e. Joystick, Stereo System, Motion Analysis. Many samples have been updated with new mock-up panels, time series charts, updated ALH scripts, signal sending via ports, and so on, e.g., Cruise Control, Flashing Light, test_ALH, Cylinder Pipe, etc.
Default values of properties typed by built-in datatypes are now displayed in Variables pane. Such built-in datatypes include:
1. Data types in UML Standard Profile::MagicDraw Profile::datatype package in UML_Standard_Profile.xml, except "void".
2. Primitive types in UML Standard Profile::UML2 Metamodel::AuxiliaryConstructs::PrimitiveTypes package in UML_Standard_Profile.xml.
3. Value Types in SysML::Blocks package in SysML Profile.mdzip.
Terminating the main (simulation) session, i.e. the session first started when you start the execution, will now also terminate the sessions triggered by such main session.
Additional validation rules: "Every cyclic transition must have either a Signal Event or a Time Event assigned on itself", etc.
Improved validation rules:
A CallOperationAction is no longer detected as an invalid element when it calls an Interface already realized by another Class.
The operation of a CallOperationAction can be owned not only by the execution context, but also by the Classifier that types the target pin of the CallOperationAction .
A Constraint Parameter of a Constraint Block, not being used as a type of a Constraint Property, is no longer required to be connected with at least one Binding Connector.
Execution with no diagram opened has been fixed, i.e. no exception will be thrown and the execution will proceed correctly.
Layouting of mock-up panels has been improved.
Parametric execution has been fixed to aggregate values from lower levels of parts.
Sum() function has been fixed to work when the input argument is single value.
Execution Log report template has been fixed.
