Trade study analysis or a trade-off study is one of the important analyses that can help system engineers to select a configuration that best fits specific criteria among a set of proposed viable configurations. With Magic Model Analyst, you can conduct a trade study analysis as shown in the sample project Trade-StudyPattern.mdzip, which comes bundled with Magic Model Analyst. The sample project in this file is a SysML project. Therefore, you need the SysML plugin for MagicDraw (the plugin comes bundled with Cameo Systems Modeler) to open the project. The TradeStudyPattern package contains reusable blocks for the trade study analysis.
