[Topcased-users] Very frustrated - please help - Sequence Diagrams

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:39:06 -0800 


Folks,


For three days now I have been trying to do a trivial thing in  
topcased and can't do it. I simply want to add a Signal to the  
Signature of a Message in a Sequence Diagram.



I think I must have tried every combination and permutation that my  
simple model allows me, without success



I simply want to use a Sequence Diagram as a verification step for  
other parts of the model: to check the connections, ports and their  
types from a BDD, and to show the signals generated from a state  
machine from one block to another.



Any help - but particularly a simple example model would be very  
gratefully received.


Regards

Rob Collins

Thank you to Tristan for the answer to my previous question.

I am now trying to represent a sequence of messages (signals / calls)
between these two blocks on a sequence diagram - but having no success.

'Call' type messages won't draw - I get a blocked symbol trying to
connect to either life-line.

I can draw 'signal' between the two. However, when I try to add a
signature to the signal - there are no options listed in the list.

In my full model, I am trying to draw two blocks, which are connected
via ports on each block. I have defined state-machines for each block.
I now want to validate those interacting state-machines by showing
signals flowing between blocks on a Sequence Diagram.

I also tried adding an operation to one of the blocks (as you can see)
to see if I represent a call to that. But that also was not available.

I believe that when I have done this with other tools, using UML (and
ROOM), the signals in state machines could be represented flowing
between blocks on sequence diagrams. With the sequence diagram
providing model checking for consistency etc.

Any suggestions on how to model this - or particularly an example
model, would be very welcome.

Best regards

Rob Collins

Folks,

Drawing a Block Definition Diagram (image attached), I would like to
show provided and required interfaces on ports. I can't find out how
to change between required / provided interfaces - that is, to change
between the 'lollypop' and 'fork' symbol for interfaces. Would
somebody explain please?

Also, I can't work out how to control the visibility of all of the
labels. In this case, the type of the interface is show twice - which
makes the diagram a little 'noisy'. Is there a way of controlling the
visibilty of labels for connectors / ports / interfaces?

Regards

Rob Collins

Hi
to have lollypop and fork you have to :

1)      Type your port with an interface (lollypop)


2)      Type your port with a classifier using (with usage     
relationship) to an interface

To change the visibility check graphics property tab you can     
show/hide elements

Hello everybody,


I am drawing a sequence diagram in a SysML profile in TOPCASED     
4.1.0. I need to create guards inside an InteractionOperand that     
belongs to a specific CombinedFragment. I read in some threads     
inside this list that this can be done creating an     
InteractionConstraint inside the InteractionOperand, and then     
creating an OpaqueExpresion inside the InteractionConstraint.


I can create it but I cannot see it in the graphical view.

I follow the next steps:

-       Mouse on the InteractionOperand and click on right button    
 and select "Create Child/Guard/Interaction Constraint"
-       Mouse on the InteractionConstraint and click on right   
button   and select "Create Child/Specification/Opaque Expression"
-       Then I write a name for the opaque expression and in its     
type property I choose String

-       Visibility=public

But I cannot see anything in the graphical view...

Any ideas? I'm completely lost.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Carlos Andres
