Hello Thibault:
thank you very much for you reply. You had the correct interpretation for my
question. A bit more:
Is there a URL that gives a good summary of how SysML activity diagrams differ
from UML activity diagrams? i am using
the INCOSE SysML tutorial and I can't yet see what is missing in UML activity
diagram at this time that would be needed
to satisfy SysML activity diagrams.
