Client-side Performance Improvements

Partial Data Loading in Tables

Experience enhanced table loading and scrolling performance! Thanks to the newly-introduced Load Partially mode, data is now loaded in only visible rows. There is no longer a need to wait until data is calculated in the entire table. Additionally, fast scrolling has improved; it is now considerably smoother.

Increased Excel and CSV files Import Speed

The import performance of data from an Excel or CSV file into the modeling tool adds a great experience while managing a large scope of data. The data import time using the table sync feature is significantly faster compared with the previous version (19.0 SP4).  Also, the data import using the new Excel/CSV Import dialog is even better in comparison to Excel/CSV Sync feature. The import of 61k elements takes only 2 minutes (see the chart below).

Profiling Changes in the UML 2.5.1 Metamodel

Significant changes have been implemented in the UML metamodel for improved performance. The InstanceSpecifications, Slots, and ValueSpecifications are no longer used to store profiling data. Instead, new model element types and properties are introduced, while some have been removed (see the diagram below). 

Image Removed

Profiling changes in the UML metamodel.

As shown in the figure above, Element references the TaggedValue that is used to specify the Boolean, Integer, Real, String, or Element values of the applied stereotype properties. This approach uses fewer model elements to store profiling data, which leads to a decrease in the total number of elements in SysML and UAF projects by 40-80%.

Note. Expressions based on the previously implemented profiling data storing metamodel no longer work, meaning that they have to be updated manually.

TWC-related Performance Improvements

Project Merge

Project Merge has undergone considerable performance improvements. The modeling tool version 2021x requires approximately 4-5 times less memory to successfully merge two server project branches, compared to 19.0 SP4. 

Image Removed

A chart comparing merge memory consumption in different modeling tool versions.

Furthermore, the merge operation speed has increased by 20-70% in 2021x compared to 19.0 SP4. Both frequent (between close project versions) and infrequent (between distant project versions) merges can now be performed much faster!

Image Removed

TWC Project Load 

Project load memory and speed improvements have been implemented for Teamwork Cloud. The modeling tool now requires only 2GB of heap to load a 2M SysML project (first and second time) when working with TWC projects compared to 8GB in 19.0 SP4. Additionally, as a result of the UML metamodel changes, SysML projects are now opened 2-3 times faster.

Note. Received results cover the project load only, excluding validation, diagramming, and further modeling tool feature usage.

  • Migration time is excluded because projects that had already been migrated were used for testing.

TWC Save to Local 

In 2021x, great attention is paid to the memory consumption improvements. Saving a Teamwork Cloud project locally now requires less memory. For example, a 2M SysML project now consumes only 4GB of RAM, compared to 20GB in 19.0 SP4.

Modeling and InfrastructureSimulink and Modelica Integration Improvements

Proxy Ports in FMU and Simulink Import

FMU and Simulink import now support Proxy Port creation. Once you have imported the external FMU/Simulink model, you can select the Proxy Port to be created in your model and then specify an existing or create a new Interface Block to be used as its type.

Image RemovedSelecting the Proxy Port and an Interface Block upon the external model import.

SysML 1.6 Support

As of version 2021x the SysML Plugin supports the SysML 1.6 specification which brings the following improvements:

  • One more way to model conjugated ports is to create the Conjugated Interface Block which has the same features as its original Interface Block except that its Directed Features and Flow Properties are reversed (conjugated). Learn more about Conjugated Interface Block >>
  • The ability to change the Binding Connector notation keyword from "equal" to sign "=". Learn how to create Binding Connector >>
  • The new stereotype «AddFlowPropertyValueOnNestedPortAction» is created which enables values added to a flow property to propagate out through a specified behavioral port of an object executing the action, rather than all behavior ports exposing the flow property. It also enables values added to a flow property to propagate into objects.
  • The AdjunctProperty principal type is changed from Element to NamedElement.
  • The «PropertySpecificType» stereotype is renamed to «pst».
  • The Value Type compartment attributes is renamed to properties.
  • The initialValue compartment is renamed to initial values.

    Simulation

    HTML Widgets in IBD Diagrams

    Cameo Simulation Toolkit introduces a new powerful mechanism to integrate any third-party interactive HTML components (widgets) into SysML diagrams for simulation. A set of predefined widgets is available in UI Widgets Library. You can drag and drop widgets to IBD diagrams and connect them to appropriate value properties to provide inputs or read outputs. If you have basic HTML and JavaScript skills, you can manually create new custom widgets and integrate them into simulation.

    Please note that the free Web Server for Cameo Simulation Tookit plugin is required for this functionality.

    Streaming Activity Simulation

    Cameo Simulation Toolkit 2021x supports the simulation of streaming activities when a system receives inputs and produces outputs even while behaviors continue to execute. As you can see in the example below, during simulation several actions can be executed simultaneously, and waiting tokens are displayed on action pins. Note that you can control the held token display in the Project Options dialog or Simulation Configuration properties.

    Displaying and Changing Runtime Values in Diagrams

    WIth Cameo Simulation Toolkit 20.0 monitoring and manipulating simulation information has never been easier. Now you can display runtime values of Parts in all diagrams based on a Composite Structure Diagram as shown in the figure below. But that is not all, you can also modify runtime values directly in a diagram the same way you do it in the Simulation window.

    Image Removed

    This sample model demonstrates how you can view and change runtime values of Parts directly in an Internal Block Definition Diagram.

    Back to top

    Displaying Active State in Diagrams

    Now diagrams based on a Composite Structure Diagram display the active States of Parts when simulating a model. Active states are shown on the bottom of Part shapes the same way they are displayed in the Variables pane of the Simulation window. This new feature improves the readability of simulation information because you no longer need the Simulation window to see how active States change when executing your model.

    Image Removed

    In this Internal Block Definition Diagram, you can see that active States are displayed both in the Simulation window and on the shapes of initialized Parts.

    Back to top

    Displaying Active State Images

    Make your model simulation look more illustrative and vivid by displaying active State images on Part shapes. You can do that by assigning an Image Switcher to the Simulation Configuration from which you execute your model or by applying an image to a State. When states change during simulation, state images change as well as displayed in the following figure.

    Image Removed

    Here you can see how active State images are displayed when simulating a model.

    Displaying Flowing Information

    Cameo Simulation Toolkit 20.0 allows you to see what information is flowing via paths that are animated during model execution. In Activity Diagrams, the flowing item is displayed as a bubble with a label showing the item name. In diagrams based on a Composite Structure Diagram, a moving triangle is shown on an animated path as illustrated below.

    Sending a Trigger in Diagrams

    Now sending a trigger during model simulation is even more convenient because you can do it right from a diagram without using the Simulation window. You can send a trigger directly from a Part shape in all diagrams based on a Composite Structure Diagram. When it is possible to send a trigger, a special button is displayed on a Part shape after selecting it.

    Image Removed

    Simply click the highlighted button to send a trigger from a Part. If it is possible to send several triggers, the trigger list will be displayed for you to select from.

    Reorganized Simulation Options

    All Simulation options have been moved from Environment Options to Project Options for better user convenience, as it allows customizing simulation to fit a particular project. In addition, all simulation settings will be exchanged among users who collaborate on a server.

    Furthermore, most of the Simulation Configuration options are duplicated in Project Options now, so you can specify default values for execution without using Simulation Configuration.

    Image Removed

    As you can see in this figure, all simulation options are now accessible in the Project Options dialog.

    Animation Delay Logic

    Animation delay affects only visible diagrams now.  All closed diagrams and models run at full speed with no delays.

    Interactive Guard Evaluation for STM and Sequence Diagrams

    The guard conditions on transitions expressed in natural language cannot be evaluated, so the question dialog will be shown for you to choose.  This behavior is consistent with decision nodes in Activity Diagrams.

    Simulink Co-Simulation in Activity Diagrams

    A Simulink *.slx file can be dropped into an Activity Diagram to create «SimulinkBlock» Activity and  Call Behavior Action for it. If the file is attached to your project or stored in the project directory, Cameo Simulation Toolkit will be able to execute it with given input values and provide outputs to the action output pins.

    Behavior to Structure Synchronization

    You can now keep your Internal Block diagram (IBD) consistent with Activities with less effort! Our brand new behavior-to-structure synchronization allows you to validate Part Properties in an IBD to check whether Proxy Ports exist and are typed by compatible Interface Blocks based on flows found in Activities. As a result, instead of manually updating IBDs to be consistent with Activities, coherence between them is ensured by automatically detecting inconsistencies and providing the user with the solvers to handle each inconsistency individually.

    Performance Improvements in Large Magic Collaboration Studio Projects

    Model initialization, simulation performance, and memory usage in large projects have been significantly improved (up to 3-4 times).

    Project Option for Terminating Streaming Activities

    Now you can terminate the execution of an Activity with streaming output parameters by specifying the output parameter multiplicity. When the Terminate Streaming Behaviors by Output Parameter Multiplicity project option (or Simulation Configuration property) is set to true, the execution of a streaming Activity will be terminated when the cumulative number of values posted to its output parameters is equal to the parameter multiplicity upper bound.


    Image Added

    The highlighted simulation project option allows you to terminate Activities with streaming output parameters by output parameter multiplicity.

    New Parameters for Simulation via Command-Line

    This version introduces new optional arguments for the "simulate" command. These arguments will allow you to:

    • Specify input parameters with their values.
    • Specify the properties file with input parameters.
    • Specify the properties file defining what output parameters should be obtained after the simulation.
    • Specify the properties whose values should be obtained after the simulation.
    • Specify the properties file that will store output parameters with their values.

    Detecting Changes in Diagrams During Merge

    You can now specify in the Environment Options dialog whether to compare only the direct or all the changes in diagrams during the Project Merge and Project Comparison operations. By default, only the changes made by the user in loaded (open) diagrams are analyzed, leaving out unintentional diagram changes that occurred due to indirect changes in the model. This feature not only eases both merge and project comparison processes for the user since the number of diagrams with changes is considerably reduced but also optimizes modeling tool performance.

    Further Merge Usability Improvements

    The model merge has undergone further usability improvements. From now on, changes from the Target and Equivalent Changes are automatically hidden by default, meaning that only the Source changes are shown. As a result, fewer changes need to be reviewed by the user.

    What is more, the model merge has been extended by adding a capability to select which ancestor calculation algorithm to use. You now have the freedom to choose a Branch Point as an ancestor for your merges. This is especially useful in those cases when merge results become too complex to understand and analyze due to previously rejected changes. By default, Lowest Common Parent ancestor calculation algorithm is used.
