To get the most out of this book
To get the most out of this book, you will need a solid, but basic, understanding of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). In addition, to create the models, you will need a modeling tool. The concepts here are expressed in SysML so any standards-compliant SysML modeling tool can be used.
All the example models in this book are developed using the Cameo Systems Modeler tool. To execute models and run simulations, you will need the Simulation Toolkit, included with the tool:
