Describe System Behaviors

Define behaviors for architecture models to understand the purpose of the system in early stages of design. Iterate on your design to meet requirements as the development process continues.

• Use activity diagrams to decompose your system into its functional behaviors. Simulate activities to visualize and validate the flow of data through the system.

• Use sequence diagrams to depict interactions between components of your system as a sequence of message exchanges. Simulate interactions and their architecture models to verify expected model behavior.

• Link architecture components to behavior models and subsystems authored in Simulink, Simscape, and Stateflow.

Simulate your architecture models to verify system design and test the functionality of each component to validate stakeholder needs.
