SysML and CAMEO Systems Modeler and Simulation with CAMEO ( sysmlcameobspk | 35 hours )

Module 1. SysML & CAMEO Systems Modeler

Requirements

Students who wish to attend this course are not required to have any prior exposure to system modelling but should have a solid grasp of “document centric” systems engineering techniques.

Overview

This course provides a practical understanding of how systems can be modelled using the OMG's Systems Modelling Language. The notation and underlying semantics of SysML are explained in a way that allows students to apply what they learn to any suitable system modelling method or tool. The course is centered in CAMEO Systems Modeler, so after this course the audience will understand the general use of this tool through hand on examples.
