About Webel's Live Online Educational Consultancy Service for SysML/MBSE, help preparing for the OCSMP exams, UML, OCL, and more
Webel IT Australia does not currently hold pre-advertised public courses for individuals to attend. Our courses are offered for private group training by direct arrangement with organisations.
About preparation of Custom Domain Models to supplement SysML/MBSE or UML training
For an additional fee, Webel IT Australia may prepare a Custom Domain Model in the MagicDraw SysML Plugin or Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer® (Cameo Systems Modeler®) tools to supplement our course materials for Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML®) or Unified Modeling Language (UML®) training.

Dr Darren's Open Letter on managing a range of skill levels at SysML/MBSE courses (for trainers, training organisations, and their potential clients)
This is an open letter to MBSE trainers (especially SysML trainers), training organisations, and to organisations seeking to engage trainers and training organisations. It is not specific to the Webel IT Australia courses. It's for all of us involved in the SysML education community.
This content is "read-only" for your possible interest.

Dr Darren offers some encouragement for those learning Systems Modeling Language (SysML) for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
Dr Darren explains:
If you are new to SysML, don't be too concerned about whether your modelling is perfect first up, because the great thing about MBSE tools - especially SysML tools - is they invite incremental improvement, and your fixes flow through all diagrams, thanks to the power of Single Source Of Truth!
Modelling in SysML tools is part Science and part Art.
The Webel Recipe for SysML-friendly Wolfram Language coding in Mathematica
As part of a long term project developed, initially during work for a client, Webel IT Australia in partnership with GreenSoft Pty Ltd is developing a very complex Mathematica application with substantial SysML modelling support.

Q: What types of simulation, execution, and calculation are available for SysML with MagicDraw/Cameo?
There are a number of ways of simulating and executing various aspects of Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML®), and they are not just novelties! They also really help your models become more robust, logical, and organised.
There is "internal" tool simulation of Activities and StateMachines based on fUML (or variations of it).

Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo analysis: Possible "gotchas" when extending the SysML Block stereotype
Video style
Audience: Users of MagicDraw SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler who are experimenting with creating custom stereotypes that extend Block.
This screencast video has been created to demonstrate some issues that can arise if you "naively" create a custom stereotype that extends Block without: (1) closing then re-opening your project; (2) creating an appropriate MD Customization. It is not about any actual "bug" in MagicDraw/Cameo (as long as you follow the recommended procedure). If you watch it, please do watch it to the end to find how to handle such stereotypes properly.
Screencast: MagicDraw SysML/Cameo: Pros and Cons of custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures
Video style
Audience: Users of MagicDraw SysML or Cameo Systems Modeler who are experimenting with creating custom stereotypes for SysML.
This screencast video has been created to illustrate some pros and cons of using custom stereotypes in combination with Block inheritance and Part Property structures, and demonstrates some possible "gotchas". It concerns especially use of custom stereotypes to indicate: (1) cross-cutting aspects such as model layer membership; (2) use of tagged values to carry per-Element metadata.
