Database Management Modeler uses Microsoft's SQL Server relational database service. SQL Server Management Studio is used to manage users and databases. Model Management and Development You develop models using the Modeler application. The many supported diagram types provide intuitive representations of the information contained in the model. The explorer type panes provide alternative views of the model and the relationships defined in that model. Through Modeler configuration management, you can develop models in parallel through private sandboxes, and then reconcile those sandboxes back into the trunk and into other sibling sandboxes. Modeler provides change tracking so that you can record an audit trail of changes made to a Model The Component Sharing Wizards allows you to export and import Packages between different models. Architectural Frameworks In addition to Modeler's core support for UML, Modeler supports the SysML and UPDM architectural frameworks through the SysML and UPDM profiles. SySim allows you to test, verify and simulate a SysML model. SySim provides a mechanism for validating complex system behavior defined in a Modeler SysML model. Extensibil ity Through Profiles Through Profiles, Stereotypes and Tag Definitions you can extend the properties and links of items and diagrams in a model. Furthermore, you can create new item and diagram types. You can extend some PTC Profiles through lightweight extensions.

The first time you open Modeler and whenever you run the Reset Views command, the Modeler panes are organized into two groups The group of panes in the top left of Modeler includes the Packages, Parts, Diagrams, Relationships and Dictionary panes. These panes contain browsers to help you find and organize items and diagrams: + Packages - provides a view of a model in the context of the Package hierarchy. The Package pane shows you which items and diagrams are scoped by each Package in the model, in addition to providing an easy way of maintaining Packages in the model. Through drag and drop operations, you can quickly change the Package hierarchy, and quickly move items and diagrams between Packages. The context menu of a Package allows you to create items that are then scoped by the Package you right-clicked * Parts - provides a view of a model in the context of the Parts hierarchy. The Parts pane shows Packages, Classes, Data Types, Interfaces, Signals, Parts and Ports, The Parts pane shows sub-Parts and sub-Ports, including inherited sub-Parts and sub- Ports, and redefinitions; so that you can work with these Parts and Ports in context. * Diagrams - contains a folder for each diagram type within the model; you can open the diagrams through the context menus in the Diagrams pane. The diagram folders are organized into UML, Variability, Proprietary and profile folders, All diagrams appear in the All Diagrams folder. * Relationships - contains folders for the key modeling activities that you manage within Modeler: Concurrency, Constraints, System Architecture, Use Case, Instance, Class, Object Interaction, Data, Activity and State. The Relationships pane shows associations and containments and allows you to view and manage the hierarchical structure of your model. You can add items to the dictionary through the dictionary item context menus and you can also add and maintain relationships between dictionary items by using the context menus or by dragging and dropping dictionary items within the structural hierarchy of the model. * Dictionary - contains a folder for each dictionary item within the model; the Dictionary pane alphabetically lists each dictionary item type and you can expand the folders to see the dictionary items contained in your model. The dictionary item folders are organized into UML, Variability, Proprietary and profile folders, The Dictionary pane does not show any relationships between dictionary items, although you can manage links between dictionary items through the dictionary item context menus. * OSLC - provides a view of external OSLC systems and data within those systems. It allows you to specify external servers (e.g. IBM Rational DOORs Next Generation), browse for information and create OSLC Links to the external data. * Creator - allows you to quickly create items and diagrams and add them to the selected package and also to a currently open diagram. The group of panes in the bottom left of Modeler includes the Contents, Results, Results 2, Output and Favorite panes.

You can also use the Contents pane to navigate through your model. Use the drop down list on the Contents pane to determine which aspect of the model you want to display. This corresponds to the way in which information is displayed in the Packages, Parts, Diagrams, Dictionary and Relationships panes. You can navigate through the information using the standard Windows Explorer features (double click to move down into the folders, the Up one Level icon on the toolbar to move up). You can also display the icons in the Contents pane in different ways, using the standard Windows toolbar buttons (large icons, small icons, list and details). The Contents pane allows you to sort information by headings. For example, the standard headings are Name, Changed by, Changed on; you can sort each item by the date that it was changed, by clicking on the heading. Clicking again on a heading reverses the order of the search. The Contents pane also enables you to perform multiple selection, so that you can change the common properties of selected dictionary items. * Results - displays the results of a dictionary search, for example, or report details + Results 2 - alternative tab for displaying the results of a dictionary search. * Output - displays messages for the user, for example error messages and diagram checking results. If the Output pane is being continuously updated, for example when logging the progress of a system simulation, the Output pane scrolls so that you can see the new entries as they occur; however, If you click or select text in the Output pane, the Output pane will stay anchored to that text. If the Output pane is anchored to some text and you want to see new entries as they occur, click any text in the Output pane, and then press Ctri+End. + Diagram Thumbnai diagram. + Favorites - allows you quickly access items and diagrams that you use regularly.

You use the Diagram window to manage and maintain diagrams and the window automatically opens when you create or open a diagram. If you open two or more diagrams, the diagrams become tabbed so that you can easily switch between them The Diagrams window does not dock so it behaves in the same way as a standard MDI window; using the window controls, you can minimize and maximize (and close) the Diagrams window according to the way you want to view a diagram. It is often helpful to. maximize the area you have available for diagramming If you have many diagrams open, you can use the Arrange Windows dialog to organize those windows - on the Windows menu, click Windows @ You can make more room available for diagrams by setting your panes to auto hide: Note that when you select an item on a diagram, the Property pages display properties for the selected item.

The Property Pages show the properties of a selected item or diagram. The easiest way to learn how to organize panes is to read this topic and experiment with the panes in Modeler. The organization of Modeler panes is saved for each model you work with, A Modeler pane can be by itself (as the Property Pages pane is by default) or part of a group of panes. A group of panes can be organized collectively as if a single pane.

These models are supplied in the Examples database, which is created, by default, during a Modeler Server or Standalone installation. Each of the example models has been created to illustrate particular aspects of Modeler, although all the models can be used to explore the features of Modeler. * Active Deferred Ball Game Example—This model demonstrates how making a Class active or applying the «C++ Deferred» stereotype to a Class affects the generation of C++ code. * BallCpp—This model is a very simple model that has been included mainly to illustrate the use of Modeler Automatic Code Synchronizer (ACS). It will generate C++ code files that can quickly be built (using Visual C++) into a simple executable application. You can make use of ACS to illustrate how you can work seamlessly in both Modeler and an IDE such as Microsoft Visual C++ at the same time. For more information about ACS, see Overview of ACS. * Cabin—This model demonstrates how variability parameters can be used to set property values of artifacts in product models, It also demonstrates parameter propagation, derivation and validation + C# Another Block (Tetris) Example—This model demonstrates how a C# application can be modeled in Modeler. Through ACS and the C# Generator Code Generator DLL, you can generate a C# Tetris game from the model + Electric Car Charger (Java)—This model demonstrates how to use the ThingWorx Profile in a model, The ReadMe text diagram in the model provides information for generating the Java code, and building and running the system * Filling Station—This model is quite large and complex. The Filling Station model is a good vehicle for exploring the facilities and potential of the Configuration Management features of Modeler, It should be borne in mind that the Filling Station is essentially an analysis and design model; it has not been implemented through to code generation. For example, its state diagram actions are written in a form to relate easily to other design elements rather than to produce compilable code + Heart Monitor C—This model has been designed to illustrate code generation (to C) from both state machine and class information, This model has been designed to operate using state machine simulation linked to a Microsoft VisualBasic application that represents a heart monitor. + Heart Monitor Java—This model has been designed to illustrate code generation (to Java) from both state machine and class information. * HSUV—This model is a SysML, rather than UML, model. It is an almost complete implementation of the HSUV example provided in Annex B of the SysML Final Adopted Specification (May 2006). The model is largely self-documenting; it contains a couple of text files, including a ReadMe that describe the model content. This model is also used as an illustrative model in the SysML Tutorial, which can be downloaded from the PTC website, + Search and Rescue—This model is a UPDM model. It is an almost complete implementation of the Search and Rescue example provided in Annex C of the ‘Unified Profile for the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF)' (Beta 2, June 2009).

Through SySim you can generate and run the speed controller system. + Template - Component-based Products, Template - Incremental Process and Template - Small Project—These three models can be used as model structuring templates for different project types. Each model contains a structured set of packages, organized to hold the various model items that are likely to be produced for each project type. Each model contains a text diagram that describes the project type and the package structure. One or more class diagrams are also incorporated, specifying package dependencies, These models are there to be used and adapted as required - it is unlikely that one of these will be an exact fit to any specific project. To use one of these models, clone it to the appropriate database * Traffic Lights—This model is a very simple model that illustrates the use of the automation interface in linking state machine code simulation with a Microsoft VisualBasic application. As with the Waste System no life cycle dimension is present. The Operations in this model contain C++ code. * Traffic Lights - SySim—This model models a traffic light system that can be generated and run through SySim. See also, the Speed Controller model. + VB Another Block (Tetris) Example—This model demonstrates how a Visual Basic application can be modeled in Modeler. Through ACS and the VB Generator Code Generator DLL, you can generate a Visual Basic Tetris game from the model. + Waste System—This model has been designed to illustrate code generation (to C++) from both state machine and class information. It is a smaller and simpler model and consequently contains less in the way of Help information. It is not organized around a life cycle and therefore will produce only a limited subset of generated documents. The model can be viewed as a realistic prototype for exploring operator and diagnostic interaction. This model has been designed to operate using state machine simulation linked to a Microsoft VisualBasic application that represents a system visualization incorporating a diagnostic front panel. The model is supplied with both source and executable files. Introduction to the Supplied State Machine Simulations Modeler supports state machine simulation. So that you can see state machine simulations working, the following models are supplied with the files required to simulate their state machines: * Traffic Lights model—uses C++ code + Waste System model—uses C++ code + Heart Monitor C model—uses C code The user interfaces of the Waste System, Heart Monitor C, and Traffic Lights models are simulated using Microsoft Visual Basic applications, The supplied files that accompany each model were created using ACS.

Running the executable file that can be created from this model will result in a ‘train’ of 'o' characters moving within a rectangular frame, and bouncing off the frame walls. The model itself is very simple and can be easily changed to alter the effect of running the executable. To use this model with ACS you will require an ACS license, an ACS Language Pack for C++ license and a Modeler license. Before generating and building the C++ Code application, ensure that you have built the dependent libraries.

System Overview Containers of toxic waste are loaded on to a conveyor belt for scanning to identify any defects in the containers, prior to long term storage. Containers passing the scan are packed into storage cages; containers failing the scan are routed to a re-packaging area. 2. Equipment All items of equipment have built-in controllers that provide them with some degree of autonomy. For example, each item can carry out a self-test when triggered, and return a test result (as a Boolean value). a. Main Conveyor Belt Detects new containers via a pressure sensor and then transports the containers to the various items of equipment. Belt speed is selected by the operator via a 3- position switch. Starting and stopping of the belt motor is enacted via operator control of the Start and Stop buttons. The belt controller emits a signal each time the belt completes 1 cm of travel. This is used to determine the position of containers relative to items of equipment. b. Bar Code Reader When a start signal is sent to the bar code reader, it will then automatically detect the arrival of a container, read and store the bar code. It will then transmit the code number on its output line and return to idle mode. c. Scanner Scanning is triggered by a start signal. The scanner will then produce 4 frames of image data from 4 successive scans. Following transmission of the final frame, the scanner automatically returns to idle mode. d. Router The router is essentially a robotic clamp which can lift a faulty container from the belt and deposit it in a special storage area. The clamp is fitted with a set of jaws which incorporate a pressure pad that can detect the arrival of a container, The detection of a container by the jaws automatically invokes the clamping of the container and its removal from the belt. The pressure pads are activated by a start command sent to the router. On completion of routing, the router sends out a ‘completed’ signal. The router must now be reset, that is, the clamp re-positioned on the belt, before further routing activity can take place e. Cager The cager takes each container from the end of the main belt and lays it into a packing cage for later sealing, The cager operates identically to the router, f, System Controller This contains the communication and contro! hardware, operator I/O panel and main system computer. g. Operator I/O Panel This contains the controls and displays required by the operator to manually control the system. Operator functions include system start and stop, in addition to changing the belt speed. System displays include system status, the number of containers detected by the belt, and the number of faulty containers found so far. 3. Normal Operation flelIC:yProgram Files (x86)'Windchill ModelerModeleriSystem/Helplindex.himi#pagelintegrty. Madeler2Frisme%s2Fexample_models_waste.h.. 1/2212123, 1:28 PM The Waste System A ‘cold start’ involves the operator switching on the power, and then hitting the system start button. Alll items of equipment should be tested (self test). When the belt is up to speed containers are then placed on the belt. The arrival of a container is detected by the belt pressure sensor and the ‘number of containers detected’ display is incremented. For every 1 cm of travel the belt signals the system controller which then determines the position of all containers on the belt relative to all items of equipment. When a container reaches the bar code reader the system controller sends a start signal to the reader. The reader reads the bar code and sends this back to the controller. When a container reaches the scanner, the scanner is started by the system controller. Scanning of a container takes place while the container is moving along the belt. The scanning process should categorize the container as either faulty or ok Ifa container is found to be defective, the router should remove the container from the main conveyor belt and place it in a secure re-packaging area. The ‘number of faulty containers’ display should be incremented. Non-defective containers are transported to the cager where containers are removed into a storage cage for sealing. 4. Diagnostics A diagnostic panel (separate from the operator I/O panel) provides the following. a. The display of the bar code number of the last container to be detected. b. The display of the current status of each item of equipment. cc. A mechanism for altering the arrival rate of containers. d. A mechanism for altering the fault rate of containers. e. A mechanism for injecting a faulty container on to the belt.

Each container is placed on a conveyor belt, where it is scanned for its bar code and leakage. If the container is OK, it is sent to the Cager; however, if the scanner detects a leak, the container is sent to the Router to be re-packaged. For information about the system requirements being modeled by the Waste System, see The Waste System. The behavior of the Waste System has been modeled through the State Diagrams in the Waste System model.
