Inheritance of parts to a system variant

[Borne]

Hallo,

I work with Cameo/MagicDraw. I would like to model different variants of my system. This 'abstract' system consist of different parts. Now I use a generalization from the abstract system to the first variant of the system. The parts of the abstract system are inherented, but they are still connected to the abstract system and not to the variant. Is there a way to make the inherented part indepented from the original part, so that I could for example change the name of the part in my varaint without chaning the name of the part in the abstract system?

Thanks

Mike

Go to the ’specialist’ part, and in its specification there will be a list of properties. These can be ‘redefined’ (there is a button!). See also ‘Model Based Variant Modelling” which is a new capability in v19.0 SP3

Thank you for your response. I already found out about 'redefine' , but I was not sure if that is the way to go. But still it seems that I am doing something wrong.

When I redefine the inherited specialist part with a new name and/or type, the abstract and the specialist part are still conncted/the same. When I create a new block before the redefinition and redefine it with this block I lose all the properties of the abstract part. So the only way it works for me is to make a specification (generalization) of the abstract part and redefine the specialist part with this specification. Is that how it works?

I installed SP3 but I only found the 'Product Line Enginnering' Plugin and the 'Pure Variants Integration' PlugIn. Is that what you meant?

Thanks!

Mike,

I'd like to suggest you consider reading the work VAMOS by Tim Weilkiens. It is not very expensive and several of his models are samples in MD/CSM.

Check it out: https://leanpub.com/vamos

Sorry, I don't understand what you are describing. Can you provide an example?

Here's the documentation on Model-Based Product Line Engineering (Variant Management) https://docs.nomagic.com/display/PLE190SP3/Model-Based+Product+Line+Engineering

Hello James and Mike,

thank you for your answers. I read the VAMOS book of Tim Weilkiens and also worked a little bit with the MBPLE-PlugIn. I think I now understand how I can work with 'redefine' to create different variants.

Geoff, 

You said "several of his models are samples in MD/CSM." Are these included with purchase of the book at the above link, or included with the MBPLE plugin/profile by No Magic? If they aren't directly related to one another, how similar are the implementations, aka could I use the VAMOS book to get a good understanding of the concept of how variant management might be done, and apply that with the MBPLE Plugin by NM? Or are they unique enough that it would be difficult to do so? This is probably also a question that would be open to both James and Borne.

Best, 

RT

RT,

The SYSMOD plugin (available from No Magic or https://sourceforge.net/projects/sysmod4md/) for MD/CSM contains examples from the VAMOS book.  Tim also produce the model (museum) from his book "Model-Based System Architecture" which I obtained from Tim ( t...@mbse4u.com ).

I am not familiar with MBPLE, so I cannot advise.  Apologies.

Geoff
