Examples

collapse all

Create a model with a component called Component.

model = systemcomposer.createModel("archModel"); systemcomposer.openModel("archModel"); arch = get(model,"Architecture"); comp = addComponent(arch,"Component");

Create a sequence diagram in the model, and then open the sequence diagram.

interaction = model.addInteraction("NewSequenceDiagram"); interaction.open

Input Arguments

collapse all

Name of interaction, specified as a character vector or string.

Example: "inhibit"

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

Term Definition Application More Information
Interaction An interaction specifies how each part of a system should interact as a sequence of message exchanges. Use interactions to describe operational system behaviors. Describe System Behavior Using Sequence Diagrams
Sequence diagram A sequence diagram is a visual representation of an interaction. Use sequence diagrams to visually specify how each part of a system should interact. Describe System Behavior Using Sequence Diagrams
Lifeline A lifeline represents an instance of a component as a participant of an interaction. A lifeline corresponds to a component in an architecture. Describe Interactions with Lifelines and Messages
Message A message represents communication between two lifelines. Messages have labels to specify the expected condition for the message to occur. A message label has a trigger, an optional guard, and an optional constraint where a trigger represents the identifying event for this message, a guard represents an additional condition to determine whether the message occurs, and a constraint is an expression that is expected to be true when this message occurs. Describe Interactions with Lifelines and Messages
Gate A gate represents the root of an architectural hierarchy. A gate allows you to describe the exchange of messages between the architecture and its environment. Describe Interactions with Lifelines and Messages
Annotation An annotation describes the elements of a sequence diagram. Use annotations to provide detailed explanations of elements or workflows captured by sequence diagrams. Annotate Sequence Diagrams with Annotations
Fragment A fragment encloses a group of lifelines and messages within an interaction to allow for the specification of more complex patterns of interaction. A fragment defines the type of ordering logic such as looping and alternatives. Fragments can have one or more operands. Model Complex Interactions with Fragments and Operands
Operand An operand is a region in a fragment, or group of messages. The condition of an operand specifies whether the messages inside the operand execute. The condition of an operand can specify constraints on the input signal of a lifeline as a MATLAB® Boolean expression. Model Complex Interactions with Fragments and Operands
Duration constraint A duration constraint defines a constraint on elapsed time between a start and an end occurrence. Use duration constraints to explicitly express a constraint on the duration between a start occurrence and an end occurrence. Specify Timing Constraints Between Message Events with Duration Constraints
