Paramagic Plugin

By executing constraint relationships in SysML parametric diagrams, systems engineers can run simulations and trade studies for complex systems from concept through final test. Mathematica® and PlayerPro® (Wolfram Research), OpenModelica®, and MATLAB® Symbolic Math Toolbox™ (MathWorks) can be used as math solvers. Links between SysML and Excel® make it easy to import and export data, generate SysML instances, and create reports and generate graphs and charts. Existing models in tools like MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Mathematica® can be easily wrapped as SysML constraint blocks and incorporated in the simulation.

Engineers and analysts used to working on individual spreadsheets now have a collaborative tool to synchronize their efforts using the best model-based systems engineering practices. In both traditional and non-traditional domains of system engineering, users can explore system performance, verify requirements, estimate cost, allocate resources, and keep diverse models in sync. Developers leveraging MagicDraw's UPDM and business modeling capabilities can add parametric simulation using SysML sub-models for defense planning, business process analysis and computational finance.

NEW: Starting with ParaMagic® 18.0, users can get Wolfram Player Pro math solver bundled with ParaMagic® plugin at a very low incremental price. Alternatively, users who need the full power of Mathematica front end can get Mathematica bundled with ParaMagic® plugin at a discounted incremental price.

ParaMagic® is developed by and is a registered trademark of our partner InterCAX LLC.

While Player Pro serves as an advanced math solver for ParaMagic®, users may still need the full power of Mathematica front end, such as the ability to work with Mathematica notebooks, advanced user interface for authoring custom Mathematica functions and scripts, access to Mathematica library and documentation, and the ability to test and debug Mathematica functions before using them in SysML parametric models. Users can also purchase Mathematica bundled with ParaMagic® at a discounted incremental price.

ParaMagic® 18.0 comes with a strong integration with Player Pro and Mathematica, communicating directly with the math kernel versus the file-based communication earlier. This offers significant improvements in solving speeds, especially for parametric trade studies executing 1000s of scenarios, and significant reduction in the communication overhead with Mathematica and PlayerPro solver engines.

ParaMagic® 18.0 comes with major improvements in handling errors and description of end user messages when validating parametric models.

Improved support for MATLAB connection and messages

ParaMagic® 18.0 also provides major improvements in error handling and end user messages for the MATLAB/Simulink connection (section 8.3).

Resolution of issues

In addition to the new and improved capabilities listed above, ParaMagic® 18.0 also resolves several issues, such as those related to: (1) reading/writing nested instance structure from/to Excel spreadsheets and (2) naming binding connectors and properties owned by blocks in read-only mode.
