This is a short tutorial to add a part's child on a SysML Internal Block Diagram with Enterprise Architect modelling tool. It uses the current version 15 of Enterprise Architect (EA), however the same process should apply with version 14.

Initial context: the following Block Definition Diagram (bdd) illustrates our main system breakdown structure.

sysml-system-bdd

The following Main System Internal Block Diagram (ibd) has been created using EA "Synchronize Structural Elements".

sysml-system-ibd

The aim is to show SystemC block part under SystemA block part:

  • Select the unnamed "SystemA" block part in the diagram.
  • Right click and select Features > Parts/Properties.
  • The features view is displayed:

 sysml-enterprise-architect-features-view

  • The Show Owned/Inherited option is enabled so that the children part is available to add to the ibd.
  • Checking the block's part will add it on the active diagram however it is recommended before that step the resize the parent part (" : SystemA").
  • Result:
