The Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is a general-purpose modeling language for systems engineering applications.

SysML supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems.

SysML is based on UML and replaces the modeling of classes and objects by block modeling for a vocabulary more suited to System Engineering. A block encompasses all software, hardware, data, process, and even people management concepts.

SysML reuses part of UML2 and it also provides its own definitions (SysML extensions).

Organizations find SysML useful because systems engineering can use SysML to create diagrams that illustrate a broad range of systems, including hardware, software, information, processes, personnel, and facilities.

Another huge advantage of SysML is it opens the way for teams to design, analyze, verify, and validate systems. Systems engineers can use SysML diagrams to improve their communication with other team members and business stakeholders. The diagrams can help explain complex ideas more easily and clearly, than older methods before SysML.

Analysts give a thumbs-up to SysML because of its ability to detect errors, gaps, and other potential problem areas early in the development of the system while at the same time facilitating problem-solving and system scaling.

Many organizations now prefer SysML for its ability to create a clear overview of system structure so systems engineers can manage size and complexity more easily.

According to SysML.org, as SysML emerges as the de facto standard for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), several SysML usage modes of progressive rigor have become evident. This includes:

  • SysML-as-Pretty Pictures
  • SysML-as-Model-Simulation
  • SysML-as-System-Architecture-Blueprint
  • SysML-as-Executable-System-Architecture

Want to learn more? Tonex offers SysML Training Crash Course, a comprehensive 3-day bootcamp that provides the skills and knowledge to work with MBSE approach and SysML (Systems Modeling Language) diagrams. Participants will learn how to work with modern systems engineering approach to create ConOps, Use Cases, Requirements, System Architecture and Design, Verification and Validation, and simulation.

This course is designed for system analysts, system architects, system engineers, professionals moving into system-level engineering, and managers who are responsible for the delivery of software intensive systems.
