Magic Model Analyst

The Magic Model Analyst product provides the first in the industry extendable model execution framework based on OMG fUML and W3C SCXML standards. Magic Model Analyst can be used along with Magic Systems of Systems Architect, Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer and Magic Software Architect. It is used to validate system behavior by executing, animating, and debugging models in the context of representative mock-ups of the intended user interface.

The purpose of a simulation is to gain system understanding without manipulating the real system, either because it is not yet defined or available, or because it cannot be accessed directly due to cost, time, resources or risk constraints. Simulation is typically performed on a model of the system. With the Magic Model Analyst product, users can test how the system reacts to user interaction or predefined testing data and execution scenarios.

Key Benefits

Virtually predict system behavior before deriving requirements to specify with accuracy the solution, in a modeling and simulation approach.
Analyze the system analysis for completeness, consistency, traceability and contradiction checking, thus preventing rework loops.
Continuously manage uncertainties and make high level solution trade-offs for early accurate decision making.

Magic Real-Time Communication Designer

Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) and SysML tools are becoming more sophisticated in order to support the increased complexity of embedded and distributed applications. These new systems are larger, contain autonomous components, operate from the edge to the cloud, and often have strict requirements in terms of performance, scalability, robustness and security.

Two standards - SysML and Data Distribution Service™ (DDS™) - address the necessary end-to-end design requirements for model-based design. SysML defines the requirements of the system itself. DDS addresses the communications requirements between system components running across different computers, including connectivity, security and quality of service (QoS).

Dassault Systemes has addressed the digital continuity and integration between the two worlds of MBSE to interface design with the new Magic Real-Time Communication Designer. This software plugin provides a direct integration to RTI Connext®, the leading commercial software based on the DDS standard, enabling engineers to create model-based systems based on real-time communication flow across embedded and distributed systems. Engineers can go directly from the system model in SysML to RTI Connext for implementation and deployment of a distributed system.

Benefits of this integration include:

Increased productivity by modeling the DDS-related aspects of a system using SysML extended by a DDS-specific profile and generating the necessary DDS setup code in any of the supported Programming Languages.
A graphical, unified representation of the overall system from requirements to functional applications, providing engineers with a common view of the system and a single source of (data) truth.
Integration with RTI Connext to enable graphical design and configuration of all DDS aspects, including Domains, Types, Topics and QoS.

This integration has been specially validated with RTI Connect®, along our partnership with Real-Time Innovations Inc. (RTI).

Magic Alf Analyst

Alf (the Action Language for Foundation UML) is a textual language for coding detailed, executable behavior within an overall UML model. Alf is a standard of the Object Management Group (OMG), which is also the organization that maintains the UML specification. Alf is one of a suite of OMG specifications related to defining precise execution semantics for UML, building on the original Foundational UML (fUML) specification.

Key Benefits

The Magic Alf Analyst allows you to use the Alf language within Magic Model Analyst.
It provides both a syntax-aware editor for entering and updating Alf code, and a compiler for translating Alf code into fUML activity models.
Behavioral specifications written using Alf code are fully executable in the context of class, activity and state machine models.
The Alf Plugin supports the Alf language at the “Full Conformance” level, i.e. it provides a complete action language for representing behavior within a UML model created in the usual way in MagicDraw.
