webgme-sysml

SysML implementation using WebGME as a library

Installation

Clone the repository

Install all dependency modules

npm install

Start the Mongo database manager

The MongoDB database manager must be running before starting WebGME.

mongod --rest

Start WebGME

The following starts WebGME with the default configuration.

node app.js 

alternatively...

npm start

Go to (http://127.0.0.1:9091) to access the user interface.

The following starts WebGME with a custom configuration. Make sure you unset the environment variable afterwards.

Windows

set NODE_ENV=app && node app.js 

alternatively...

set NODE_ENV=app && npm run app 

Linux

env NODE_ENV=app && node app.js 

alternatively...

env NODE_ENV=app && npm run app 

(optional) Run the test example for a plugin.

npm run test

Environment Special Notes

Ubuntu

The node.js package dependencies can be installed with apt-get.

sudo apt-get install npm mongodb

The default command for node.js is not 'node' unless you install the legacy package.

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

Current Features

WebGME-SysML language definition

WebGME-SysML language and models are provided with domain-specific visualizations (decorator)

SysML modeling with WebGME-SysML language (under OMG specification v1.3+)

Diagrams supported:

• Block Definition Diagram
• Internal Block Diagram
• Package Diagram (WebGME-flavored)
• Parametric Diagram
• Requirement Diagram
• Use Case Diagram
• Sequence Diagram (Check out WebGME-Domain-Tools for Activity Diagram and State Machine Diagram)

SysML diagrams exportable to Eclipse Papyrus:

• Internal Block Diagram
• Requirement Diagram
• Use Case Diagram

SysML diagrams importable from Eclipse Papyrus:

• Block Definition Diagram
• Internal Block Diagram
• Parametric Diagram
• Requirement Diagram
• Use Case Diagram

SysML diagram elements exportable to SysML specs (see Eclipse Papyrus uml file in project for schema)

• Block Definition Diagram
• Internal Block Diagram
• Parametric Diagram
• Requirement Diagram
• Use Case Diagram
• Elements from above diagrams within hierarchical packages are exportable

Limitations/TODOs

• Not all components in the OMG specs are modeled in WebGME-SysML. Please create an issue to recommend or report needed elements
• Only a set of elements from diagrams mentioned above are exportable to Eclipse
• Information regarding connections is exportable to Eclipse, but users will have to manually display the connections onto the diagrams
• WebGME-flavored Package Diagram can be created by adding and organizing different "Package" elements
• Sequence Diagram visualization is still in need of a different visualizer so that it should resemble more of a traditional Sequence Diagram; in current Sequence Diagram, in order to create events in different times, display the "ExecutionSpecification" in vertical order
• Current WebGME-SysML models are not exportable to other existing SysML editors
