Simulating states allows you to execute and visualize the behaviors they define. Using the SysML v2 Simulation plugin, you can run SysML v2 states directly from the model and observe how states, transitions, triggers, and actions behave during execution.
Simulation enables you to:
- Validate system behavior early in the design process
- Verify state transitions and guard logic
- Observe how payloads and events propagate between elements
- Identify issues in behavioral models before implementation
- Demonstrate system behavior interactively
During simulation, active states are annotated, and transitions are executed according to the semantics defined in the model, allowing you to explore system dynamics in real time.
