HTML Widgets in IBD DiagramsMagic Model Analyst 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
Magic Model Analyst 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.
An example of a streaming Activity.
This diagram shows the differences between streaming and non-streaming behavior execution.Learn more about streaming Activity simulation >>
Displaying and Changing Runtime Values in Diagrams
Magic Model Analyst 2021x, 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.

Displaying Active States 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.

Displaying Active State Images
Make your model simulation look more illustrative and vivid by displaying active State images on Part shapes. When states change during simulation, state images change as well as displayed in the following figure.
Here you can see how active State images are displayed when simulating a model.Learn more about displaying active state images >> Back to top
Displaying Flowing Information
Magic Model Analyst 2021x allows you to see what information is flowing via paths that are animated during model execution. In Activity Diagrams, the . 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.
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.

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 DiagramsA Simulink *.slx file can be dropped into an Activity Diagram to create a «SimulinkBlock» Activity and a Call Behavior Action for it. If the file is attached to your project or stored in the project directory, Magic Model Analyst will be able to execute it with given input values and provide outputs to the action output pins.
In this Activity Diagram, a «SimulinkBlock» action has been created from a Simulink *.slx file.Back to top
Other- A new -leaveprojectopen parameter has been introduced into the command-line interface.
It allows leaving a project open for the next simulation if multiple property files are used in the simulation command. - Boolean and Enumeration values are represented in Timeline plots now.
- A new Record Time option is added into CSV export configuration to be able to turn off the timestamp column when it is not needed, e.g., when recording Trade Study or Monte Carlo iterations.
