SYSMLR — Requirement constants should be integrated into Model-centric vision of SysmL

  • Key: SYSMLR-34
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13259
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    SysML requirements are now pure text and not completely integrated in to
    the model-centric approach

    Currenltly requirements are written as

    The top speed of this car shall be greater than 100 mph.

    Instead, it should be written as

    The top speed of this car shall be greater than <x>.

    And there be a compartment of the requirement where the current value of
    <x> is given

    <x> = 200mph.

    This <x> should be integrated as a design value throughout SysmL and
    should be connectable to parmetrics. It should also support dependencies
    so that other requirements value's (and block's features) can be
    dependent on the value of <x>. Then I can determine all the places in my
    system where there is a dependency on <x> and my equations and
    constraints are automatically updated. Which in many cases would allow
    me to automatically rerun my simulations.

    This is an improvement in integrating the model. Currently, with pure
    text requirements constants in the requirements are often repeated in
    equations, parametrics, constraints, algorithms. This repeating defeats
    some of the advantages of model-approach, as they are identical or
    related elements that need to be synchronized by hand.
