Project & File Management

Efficient systems engineering requires a structured approach to asset management. The SysML v2 Editor provides a comprehensive set of tools to organize, save, and retrieve your modeling work. This section covers the SysML v2 tool‘s capabilities for file organization and library integration.

The Navigator (Cloud Explorer)

The Navigator, located in the left pane, is your primary interface for managing project files. As a cloud-native SysML editor, it ensures that your work is persistent and easily accessible.

Creating and Organizing Assets

Using the Navigator, you can build a logical structure for your system models:

• New Files: Create new SysML v2 documents (.sysml) to start fresh modeling tasks. You can use the “New File” button or the Alt+N keyboard shortcut.
• Folders: Organize related models into folders to manage complexity. This is essential for large-scale SysML v2 software projects where different system components are defined in separate files.
• Context Menu: Right-click any file or folder to access common actions such as Rename, Delete, or Add New Item.

Cloud Synchronization

Every change you make in this AI SysML tool is synchronized with your cloud workspace. This allows you to switch between devices or browsers without losing progress, providing a seamless SysML software experience.

Working with the Tabbed Editor

To support multi-file modeling, the SysML v2 editor features a robust tab management system:

• Multi-Tasking: Open multiple .sysml files simultaneously. Each file appears as a tab at the top of the workspace.
• Active File Focus: Clicking a tab sets that file as the active model. The AI SysML tool will automatically update the Diagram Viewer and Model Tree to reflect the contents of the active tab.
• Unsaved Changes: Visual indicators on the tabs alert you when a file has unsaved modifications.

Integrating Standard Libraries

One of the most powerful features of this SysML v2 tool is its deep integration with the standard SysML v2 (KerML) libraries.

Browsing the Library

The Library tab in the left pane allows you to explore the rich set of built-in definitions provided by the SysML v2 standard. These includes standard types, units, and quantities that are essential for creating rigorous system models.

Using Library Definitions

Files in the Library are read-only but can be opened in the editor for reference. You can view the underlying textual definitions to understand how to correctly import and use these elements in your own custom models within the AI SysML v2 software.

Summary of Management Tools

By mastering the Navigator and Tabbed Editor, you can maintain a clean and professional modeling environment, allowing you to focus on the engineering challenges of your SysML v2 software projects.
