Hello list,

I'm a newbie to TOPCASED and I'm trying to climb the learning curve. My aim is to use sysML for requirements and system modelling and I want to use TOPCASED for that.

I haven't read all the documentation yet because I get stuck at the very beginning, where to start.
What I know so far:
The TOPCASED suite is build using Eclipse. Inside the TOPCASED suite there is a TOPCASED editor (which is old ??? but I'm not sure) and the is a Papyrus editor. From here on I get confused. In the version I have downloaded (Topcased-5.3.0) I can use both the TOPCASED editor and the Papyrus editor to create a project and the models. But if I look at the Papyrus website I see that I can also download and install the Papyrus editor on its own and use it.
My questions are therefore:
1. what is the added value of the TOPCASED suite?
2. should I use the Papyrus editor (and read only the left column on the documentation page) or the TOPCASED editor (and read only the right column)? 3. Or should the two editors be used side by side and is the one better for task A and the other better for task B?

I have read the 30 minute and 2 hour presentation but they focus on the TOPCASED editor and mention the Payrus editor as a side note. So I would like to get some help in focusing my efforts in learning and understanding TOPCASED.

Thanks and best regards,
Robert.
