Generating Logical Architectures from SysML Behavior Models

ABSTRACT Modeling solution‐neutral operating principles of system features as SysML behavior models enable systems engineers to specify reusable product features for a variety of similar products and to specify and document a product's functionality in an easy‐to‐understand manner. In practice, multi‐perspective modeling methods from systems engineering require a high manual effort from experts who do not have the needed time. Current systems engineering methodologies provide multi‐perspective modeling approaches. However, they do not consider real‐world sizes of the problem domain. Thus, if the systems engineers change their perspective, it requires excessive manual effort, and they must perform redundant tasks. This paper presents a CUBE‐based, feature‐driven methodology that provides generative methods to systems engineers to address this challenge. In detail, we are using SysML activity diagrams to model operating principles of system features and generate the logical architecture as SysML Internal Block Diagrams.
