V4.2.c.PreRelease (01-DEC-2022)

Wrt the executable mbse profile component this is a checkpoint to support training delivery. Wrt the business value profile it does have some pretty significant changes/enhancements though. It can be found on Github here  (download zip, rename top level folder to SysMLHelper and drop into your Share/Profiles folder). 

V4.2.c.Rhp831.PreRelease (01-DEC-2022):

#599 11-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: New function usage selection dialog added to ease drawing function flow models using ibds (F.J.Chadburn)

#600 11-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Fix to function usage selection dialog to enable creation of new Block/Usages (F.J.Chadburn) 

#601 17-NOV-2022: BusinessValue: Major reworking to use Views/Viewpoints from SysML and combine paths in custom views (F.J.Chadburn)

There is an updated Insulin Pump Project Tutorial for understanding the Function Block method helpers here.

v4.2.b.PreRelease (10-NOV-2022)

This has some merging of the functional flow diagramming with the internal block diagram with structural usages of subsystems. The vision is to have a single diagram for both. It can be found on Github here (download zip, rename top level folder to SysMLHelper and drop into your Share/Profiles folder).

Focus of this release is to allow the internal block diagram - system to include functional flow control logic inside the subsystem boundary, so that modelers can use a single diagram to express both function and structure in the same diagram, if they wish.

V4.2.b.Rhp831.PreRelease (10-NOV-2022):

#594 10-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Fix 9.0.1 issue with DecisionUsage not working on ibd - func because it was not an aggregate of Function Block (F.J.Chadburn)

#595 10-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Allow functional flow modeling on ibd - system to widen expressive power to provide behavior & structure on a single diagram (F.J.Chadburn)

#596 10-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Allow function connectors to have a target which is a guarded flow output so both work on the combined ibd - system (F.J.Chadburn)

#597 10-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Improve toolbar order for the ibd - system diagram so that tools are better grouped for usability (F.J.Chadburn)

#598 10-NOV-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Checkpoint of a new function usage selection dialog (not quite working yet) (F.J.Chadburn)

V4.2.a.Rhp831.PreRelease (01-NOV-2022)

This is the first release with new menu structure. It can be found on Github here (download zip, rename top level folder to SysMLHelper and drop into your Share/Profiles folder). The approach with the Executable MBSE profile is to be additive to SysML with project a New Term SysML project and additional "Add New" menus are added to existing SysML menu structure via an explicit property the profile sets on the project. This is the same. I have changed the existing SysML/UML menu structure because it difficult to find things. In the new structure, the factory menus are grouped into subcategories SysML Elements, SysML Views (diagrams and tables), SysML Relations, and UML Extensions, and the Executable MBSE New Terms are under MBSE Elements, MBSE Views, and MBSE Relations. I think this makes it easier to find things. I've started the 4.2 release strand to highlight its impact. 

V4.2.a.Rhp831.PreRelease (01-NOV-2022):

#591 31-OCT-2022: Metamodel: Improvements to read SysML menu property and allow metamorphosis by metamodel into new structure (F.J.Chadburn) 

#592 31-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: First version of with new 'add new' menu structure using the Element/Relation/View submenu pattern (F.J.Chadburn)

#593 31-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Metamodel housekeeping to remove duplicate classes used in construction of add SysML new menu (F.J.Chadburn)

The SysMLHelper is edited and enhanced as an 8.3.1 project. However, the resulting profile is used and tested with later versions incl 9.0.1 iFix 003.

V4.1.e.Rhp831.PreRelease (27-OCT-2022)

This release can be found on github. Focus for this release was to make it easy to create views and viewpoints. Helpers provided by the profile help to create a structure in the model representing a SysML view and viewpoint with queries and custom views able to filter the browser and diagram. Helper adds new right-click menus to add or remove elements from existing views.

V4.1.e.Rhp831.PreRelease (27-OCT-2022):

#578 21-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Checkpoint for initial support to menus for new term package for views and viewpoints and a corresponding diagram (F.J.Chadburn)

#585 25-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Added new MBSE Other\Remove from View... right-click menu to speed up removing diagram elements from views (F.J.Chadburn)

#586 27-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Added a customv - All Elements to provide a back-bone upon which custom views can be used to add highlighting formats (F.J.Chadburn) 

#587 27-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Switched view structure creator to use Rhapsody's "standard content" to fix issue with getting query/custom view settings auto-set (F.J.Chadburn)

#589 27-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Get view structure creator to work for, and allow Views to be children of, all package types (F.J.Chadburn)

#590 27-OCT-2022: ExecutableMBSE: Additional query and custom view support for 'explicit only' view of viewpoints where children not considered (F.J.Chadburn)

V4.1.d.Rhp831.PreRelease (19-OCT-2022)

This release can be found on github. It contains mainly polishing from further use, for example to align the names of the diagrams created through the java api with those that are set as properties for new term diagram types and some improvements/robustness in auto-port creation logic (which will generate proxy ports and interface blocks for you). Also, although the profile is developed with 8.3.1, it's usable with 9.0.1, and in iFix003 which is a service release the file extension for the sysml profile changed to .sbsx rather than .sbs, hence I've fixed the executable mbse to work with both.
