All tutorials will be available on “Documents” section of TOPCASED.org site shortly, but you can already get them all during installation.

Best regards,

The TOPCASED team"

As usual I will introduce some of the new features in this version:

• Analyze and Repair Function

This new feature allows the user to apply operations on its model to "fix" it.

 

After selecting the operations to apply the list of impacted element is displayed and the operation is performed

• Open referencing diagrams

It is possible to open all diagrams or tables displaying the selected element

• Implicit navigation from properties

It is now possible to navigate (via double click) from typed Elements (property, pins, parameters) to the diagram displaying its type

• Todo notes

If the user creates a TOPCASED project or configures its project to use the todo note builder, it is possible to use the Tasks view to display "notes" contained in the model's comments.
The user can configure a comment prefix tag used for the analysis :

After the configuration is done every comment starting with this tag will be recognized by the tool and displayed in the Tasks view. This is very useful for Model Review

• Configuration files for import document

If you use the document importer for requirement management it is now possible to save the configuration to share it and reuse it in the update using the save mapping button in the last page of the import wizard 
 
 

• There are also some new features in Gendoc2 which will be described in a future post

Extract relevant elements from a diagram

I would like to introduce in this post a new feature which will be available in the next release of Gendoc2.
This feature makes possible to extract elements you desire in a diagram.

This example will generate a part of the UML Metamodel documentation.
The diagram realized with MDT Papyrus is presented bellow:

This diagram displays some information about Events, Activity Nodes and Operations. For the documentation we only want to display the elements linked to the Signal Event and the Call Event meta classes.

This is now possible using new methods in TOPCASED and GMF bundles.
This is the code to use in your gendoc2 template :

1. The diagram is get using getPapyrusDiagrams() method
2. A list of visibleElements is computed using a focused class (SignalEvent or Call Event)
• [let visibleElements : Set(uml::Class) = Set{focus}->union(focus.superClass)->union(focus.superClass->closure(superClass)->union(focus.getAssociations().memberEnd->select(type <> focus).type->asSet()))]
3. The list of visible elements is used by the getDiagram method
4. Finally the elements visible in the diagram are listed and for each element the documentation is displayed

The result is visible bellow
