MBSE with Automation

None.

Intended Audience:

• Systems Engineers involved in architecture modeling and system design.
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Practitioners.

Using a combination of lectures, demos, and interactive labs, this course provides a foundation for utilizing MBSE within the CATIA Magic environment. Students will learn SysML and it's application within CATIA Magic. This course also provides students with an introduction into the software extension possibilities within CATIA Magic. Students will learn about the API and basic coding syntax. They will walk through examples of how to create scripts and macros using Groovy, and custom reports using the Velocity Template Language.
