Modeling Complex Systems in Python with Gaphor

This is a special joint event! We are collaborating with INCOSE Michigan Chapter, which is a professional association focused on Systems Engineering. This talk will show how you can use an open source Model-Based Systems Engineering tool written in Python called Gaphor to model a complex system.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial and for all your hard work in developing Gaphor. I've used Papyrus before, and Gaphor seems much easier to get to grips with.

This is excelent and wonderful, you are a great explainer and a breeze to follow. Thanks again, this has been helpful in many ways to my personal work.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial.
Apparently, you used "item flow" to connect the parts in the ibd. Why not the connectors ? Do the "port" exist in Gaphor ?

[vincentpham]

you are a saver. I have been trying to combine model based system engineering tools and develops tools. Typical MBSE software doesn't have a good remote syncing process or syncing features for other members. Additional feature such as storing files on git is unusual able without paying for extra plugins or subscription.

If I want to create different activity diagrams for different use cases, it always creates a new activity for that diagram. How can I add an activity diagram on the same level as the pregenerated one? Or do I create a different use case diagram for every use case? I thought I put every use case in the "use cases" diagram and based on that create different activity diagrams for the use cases, right? Because I can´t place the new activity diagrams into the model view if it is created under a new activity.

I am surprised there was any confusion about ERD

How do you define an attribute for a block and is it possible to make instances of the blocks

[konlion]

Is there any Atlassian/Jira integration planned or already written?

Is a STPA video example in the works please? I am familiar with STPA but interested in the workflow achieavable in this tool. Is the model conformant with J3187_202202? I guess it cannot be conformant with SAE J 3307 yet. AND/OR tables coming? Responsibilities? Did you leverage off ISSN: 0148-7191?

Does Gaphor have the capability for parametric diagrams? Since there are four pillars to SysML.

[BaltimoreInvestor]

How do you launch Gaphor after installing in Windows?

If y'all ever get plantUML i'm in

OMG, what is up with system engineer and coffee machines? It was the same thing in my modelling class. Up until I graduate I'm going to be a fucking expert in coffee machines. I will certainly either end up working for a coffee machine manufacturer or start one myself, I swear to god.
