Hi Topcased Users,
I and others in the OSLC ALM-PLM standards workgroup have done some part
of the HSUV Example model in Topcased already, I think we are able to
contribute this work to the effort Rodrigo is suggesting here. I agree
that the SysML modeling will be much easier to get started if we create
some documentation for beginners. I will be willing to help as much as I
can, including continued refinement of the HSUV model. I also agree that
starting with the Papyrus editor is the best idea, I have not tried the
nightly builds yet but I can get into that soon.
Here is a link to the OSLC ALM-PLM site, go to the PlmScenarios link to
see the models. OSLC is an open standards activity so please contact the
organizers listed there if you wish to join the workgroup.

Hello community,
when we look at the questions in this mailing list and if we also have
the opportunity to see someone who is starting with SysML and chooses
to use Topcased, we can clearly see that the learning curve involved
is very steep. The Watch example is already a very good start, and of
course, the documentation available regarding the editor, the document
generator, etc. is very, very useful. But I think we need something to
guide new Topcased users. When someone decides to use Rhapsody, they
have Harmony. When someone decides to use MagicDraw, they have the SE2
Cookbook. When someone decides to use Topcased, they don't have a
complete example, they don't have a process description/cookbook, they
don't even know what aspects of the SysML specification are supported.
Not knowing what is supported and what not makes it impossible to
assess for what sort of projects Topcased is adequate. Not having a
complete example makes it difficult to find out how to proceed with
Topcased. And then the user has to reverto to the general SysML
documentation. But trying to follow the SUV example from the SysML
specification or the telescope example from the INCOSE MBSE Challenge
can be very frustrating for newbies in Topcased.
If we really want a greater user base, we need to change this.
Therefore my question to the main developers who have the project
overview: is there already any subproject dealing with this issue?
(like Topcased Process Engineering, maybe?). If yes, how can we get
involved?
If there is no such subproject, I would like to propose to start one!
The project could start by replicating the SUV example from the SysML
Specification as closely as possible, describing what is possible and
what not, and what are the work arounds. I would really like to
participate in such a project, but would certainly require the
assistance of someone with much more solid knowledge of the
capabilities of the tool. If we want to start real soon, we could work
on nightly builds or something that already incorporate the new editor
from the Papyrus project, since this will clearly affect the workflow.
So, community, what do you think?
