Intro to Reusable Behavior Simulation with SysML Activity Diagram

Ever wish your SysML activity models did something? In this quick intro I’ll show you how to turn them into executable assets:

  1. Embed parameters & calculations directly in an Activity Diagram—no more “pretty pictures only.”
  2. Bind those parameters to your Block Definition Diagram so structure and behavior share one data dictionary.
  3. Instantiate configurations (IBD or Simulation Config Table) and watch the same behavior run with different options.
  4. Click-to-simulate in Cameo/CATIA Magic, trace token flow, and plot variable values in real time.

Why it matters:
✅ Reuse behavior fragments like libraries.
✅ Verify requirements early—in the model.
✅ Keep architecture, software, and test teams on a single source of truth.
