XMI-Based SysML Model Transformation

Abstract

With the development and progress of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), it has gradually replaced the traditional text-based methods and has been widely used. Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is the de facto standard for MBSE approaches. However, there are various SysML-based system engineering modeling softwares, transformation of heterogeneous data from various softwares become an urgent need to meet. Here, we base on the XMI standard and the system engineering modeling software M-Design, achieve transformation from the XMI format file to the objects design according to SysML language. Firstly, we analyze a XMI format file structure, and secondly design a transformation solution according to analysis and SysML standard. After transformation, we compare result project and the original one to check consistency. With this method, heterogeneous data from different software can be communicated easily.
