The open source MBSE4ME (Model-based Systems Engineering for Mechanical Engineering) project aims to demonstrate the use case where unstructured customer data stored in excel files are transformed into structured SysML models.
The project has been demonstrated on the TDSE (Tag des Systems Engineerings) in 2023.
To start the application, open the mbse4me.product file and click on the Launch an Eclipse application button. In the runtime Eclipse application, create a new ErModel project, enter a project name and select the locations of the excel files. Such excel files containing test data are located in the com.itemis.mbse4me.dsls.tests/resources folder.
After clicking on the Finish button, the new project shows up in the Project Explorer. The project contains different files, that can be opened one-by-one in the editor area, are shown on the Outline view in a tree structure and can be visualized graphically on the PlantUML view.
These data can be converted into SysML models by invoking the SysML Export function on the context menu of the project in the Project Explorer.
To be able to use it as a standalone application (without the development environment), use the Eclipse Product export wizard button on the mbse4me.product page.
