Chapter 15: About SysML Model Integration

You can import and update SysML design models from external modeling tools into Ansys medini analyze. This enables you to analyze third-party design models inside the medini analyze environment. After you have imported a model into medini analyze, you can make changes to it, but you cannot export safety data from medini analyze into a third-party tool. Instead, use the medini analyze Update function to import any changes made to the source model in the third-party tool.


Important:  Only modeling concepts supported by medini analyze are imported. Other information in the source model may be ignored during import. For third-party UML tools, models are imported if they conform to the SysML subset. For more information, see Concepts Supported During Import.


The following modeling tools are supported:

  • Ansys System Architecture Modeler (SAM)

  • IBM Rational Rhapsody

  • Cameo (MagicDraw) from NoMagic

  • Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

  • Ansys SCADE Architect

  • IP Design Models (for chip design) from IPD-XML
