Using the Atlas Transformation Language (ATL) translation engine within the
Eclipse™ framework, translate the OMG SysML model with the ATL translation script. During translation, the model’s
UML constructs are compared with manufacturing DSL and the appropriate XML semantics for ARENA® are chosen.
Create an OMG SysML manufacturing model in MagicDraw® and then export the OMG SysML
file (XMI® export). XML format definitions.
Java® script to format XML file.
3
Using the Java® engine within the Eclipse™ framework, format the
translated XML to a format importable by Access with a Java® script. This
formats the XML data based on Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)
definitions.
4
Import the formatted XML file into a pre-built Access database. The database
contains tables and relationships that are recognizable by ARENA®. XML data is
placed in the appropriate tables.
5
Import the database into ARENA® discrete-event simulation
software. This will create a model for simulation and analysis.

Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2012
• Boeing • Used ARENA® to model entire manufacturing and logistics
processes for 787 integration* – Assembly lines across the U.S. – Included suppliers of ~50 mechanical components – Simulated Dreamlifter usage for global logistics – Demonstrated potential effects of production ramp-up
• Many medium to large companies use process modeling**
• Colleges and universities • ARENA® alone is used in over 150 programs in the U.S. and
over 500 worldwide

• Architecture language mapping to STEP AP-233 • OMG SysML to AP-233 mapping – is it complete? • AADL to AP-233 mapping
• Develop a layered systems architecture “data interchange” model for interoperability between architecture descriptions
• Analogous to OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model for communications architectures?
• Abstract systems modeling language at the top (MOF®?) • Concrete data storage model at the bottom (AP-233?) • Architecture models can take various forms
– Language – Instances – Database – File storage
