Visual Paradigm stores information like model elements and diagrams in a project. Therefore, you need to create a project before performing modeling. To create a project, select Project > New from the toolbar. The New Project window appears.

For example, the quantity kind of “Time” may be measured by units of second, minute, and hour. SysML suggests some default values for Units and Quantity Kinds. By enabling this option, we will make those default values available so that you can use them in your model straight away. If you are going to create SysML diagrams in your project, you may want to enable the option. |
