Hi Please can you point me to an example of combining SysML and UML in the same model. (Probably that does not mean within the same diagram, but rather combining SysML diagrams and UML diagrams in the same model.)   And given such examples exist, I need documentation on how one would do that in EA.   Thanks Avi

Hi Bruce! I just recently read John Holt's book Systems Engineering Demystified. In it he uses the name and direction of reference associations to model all kinds of semantics. For instance the a Driver drives a Car: Doing the same thing in Rhapsody looks like this: Note that Rhapsody has the information about the direction of the assoication in the top of the features dialogue, but can I get Rhapsody to actually show the little arrow on the top as specified in SysML (see below)? Thanks!

What are we to do? As corporations jump on the MBSE band-wagon, there is a proliferation of LLCs and individuals hawking their MBSE consulting services. This proliferation compares to the population expansion of the wild European rabbit in Australia. I've recently had experiences with one of these LLCs and I have a genuine fear of the damage that they will cause to the practice and to the careers of individuals that consume their snake oil. Have you vetted the content of the YouTube channels linked to your YouTube presence (a GREAT resource BTW!)? A link implies endorsement. Wouldn't you agree? We need the equivalent of the Better Business Bureau ® to vet these entities and provide a resource where we can share experiences, positive and negative. An entity to arbitrate issues as they arise. Without such a resource, I'm very concerned about the potentialities. Consultants employing outrageous titles and without competency credentials seem to be proliferating much like the wild European rabbits in Australia. We know the resulting damage to the Australian ecosystem.
