Abstract

The use of graph-based design languages in UML for complex system design is motivated. The FireSat mission from literature is modeled in different UML classes representing the systems, subsystems and parts of the satellite. A rule-based creation mechanism for the instances is shown along with an executable activity diagram for the definition of the design sequence. The generation of simulation models is demonstrated in the field of geometry (in OpenCascade), thermal simulation (in Esatan-TMS) and behavioral analysis (in Matlab-Simulink). The paper closes with an illustration of the flexibility in the generation design variants. based on design languages.
