Systems Modeling Training in Nantes

This course will explain how to use SysML, the modelling language for systems engineering. You will specifically explore block diagrams for the structural modelling of complex systems. You will deepen your understanding of sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and activity diagrams for dynamic modelling. 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 emphasise the necessity of defining a modelling approach tailored to the organisational context and the type of system being studied. Practical exercises will be carried out using NoMagic's Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw) modelling tool.

Audience:

Systems engineers, business analysts, and architects who need to model complex systems involving both hardware and software.

Teaching Method:

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a robust 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.

Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, and interactive labs, this course demonstrates the foundational principles for creating and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture (EA) using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) version 1.2.

This instructor-led, live training is tailored for beginner-level engineers and professionals eager 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 evaluates the knowledge and skills necessary to create a basic SysML model of a system. The exam covers model concepts and organization, basic requirements capture and management, structure and behavior models, parametric models, allocation relationships, and the use of stereotypes. With the knowledge and skills covered at this level, along with familiarity with a suitable SysML modeling tool, a holder of the OCSMP Model Builder – Fundamental Certification should be able to make productive contributions 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.  

In this instructor-led, live training in Nantes (online or on-site), participants will learn how to leverage SysML as implemented in Enterprise Architect (EA) to perform system requirements analysis and modeling.

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

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

This course is tailored for analysts, designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

The workshop guides participants through problem analysis, system design, and documentation using UML and Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect. Trainees will explore the software's advanced capabilities, such as MDA, profiles, and XMI, along with best practices that significantly simplify and accelerate the modeling process.

Since the training emphasizes the Enterprise Architect tool, participants are expected to already possess foundational UML modeling skills. For those wishing to learn modeling from scratch, we offer dedicated UML training.
