The SysML v2 simulation engine performs a state simulation when one of the following elements is selected for simulation:

  • State
  • Exhibit state
  • Part usage that owns an exhibit state

Starting state simulation

To start the state simulation


  1. Simulate a state, exhibit state, or part usage that owns an exhibit state.
  2. In the SysML v2 Simulation window, click .

The simulation runs until it is manually stopped.

Terminating state simulation

You can terminate the simulation by clicking Terminate () from one of the following locations:

  • Diagram toolbar
  • SysML v2 Simulation window
  • Context menu of the simulated element

Sending payloads during simulation

During a simulation, payloads can be sent interactively using the smart manipulator of a transition symbol displayed in views.

To send a payload from a transition symbol


  1. Select the transition symbol that defines the payload you want to send.
  2. Click Fire Transition
If no element consumes a payload, it is automatically removed from the event pool.
