Hello both (and the rest of the list),

OK, I'm not compelled to use the UML diagrams. That's clear.

BUT Dieter you say you do so because there are bugs in the sysML diagrams (correct me if I'm wrong). Dieter you also say that it is Bad Practice to take your previous mentioned short cut.

On the last part I agree with you completely. In designing a safety critical system you should not take any short cuts (how inconvenient that may be). In my opinion mixing UML and sysML should be avoided because that can lead to interpretation mistakes and mistakes lead to unsafe systems.

Can anyone share an insight on the mention bug?

Best regards, Robert.

Hi there,

I'm currently not using TOPCASED switched to eclipse kepler to try out newest CDO features. But yet, this might be a useful addition to the Raphael's answer ("Notice that you are not compelled to use those diagrams"):

I'm actually glad the UML diagram can still be used in sysml models and subpackages where the sysml profile has been applied. On the requirements diagram for example, trying to show the containment's again (after they have been hidden) has resulted in an error multiple times and the diagram must be recreated... A class diagram doesn't have this problem (but it's a little more work to make all the stereotype properties visible).

This is only one of the multiple reasons I prefer to use UML diagrams to visualize SysML elements. Hope these will be solved in the future. if the TOPCASED release for kepler arrives, I'll definitely use it again! For now, the UML diagrams still offer a solution for these bugs.

Is it considered BAD PRACTICE of you mix up models using different meta-models, eg. UML models (using registered UML), SysML models (using registered SysML profile) and others models using even other profiles? Currently got about 5 or 6 profiles which I use, does applying a profile to a package mean I should stick to using THAT profile within that package?

kind regards,

Dieter
