SysML 1.5 made practical with Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

This training course is aimed at Systems Engineers who want to quickly gain a proficiency in the use of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA) to create system models using the Systems Modelling Language (SysML).

The course covers an overview of the Systems Engineering process, how UML and SysML differ, the complete SysML modelling notation and how to use SysML with EA.

Course Details

Duration: 3 Days

Prerequisites: should have a Systems Engineering background and be familiar with both UML and Enterprise Architect
