Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is used as the modeling infrastructure in systems engineering, especially for complex systems design, independently of the system domain. Simulation is a common method to perform system model verification, during the systems development process. However, simulation code generation and execution is not integrated within the system design activity, as it is facilitated by SysML. It is either conducted as an external activity, after system design, or it affects the system design environment and practices, according to specific simulators requirements.

This paper presents how existing, simulation-agnostic SysML models from the domain of Enterprise Information System (EISs), can be transformed to executable simulation code and in addition how the simulation results can be incorporated into the source SysML model through the exploitation of Model Driven Architecture (MDA …
