Simulating Power During State Changes from Excel Spreadsheet

This video explains how to structurally and behaviorally build out a system and subsystems within SysML. It starts simple with a state machine as the system's classifying behavior and then adds refinement by adding details from the subsystems. This video explains how to connect an excel spreadsheet to Cameo and import the data using opaque actions within an activity diagram.

It then explains three ways to rollup the subsystem power values to the system level power value:
1) Parametric Diagram with Custom Constraint
2) Opaque Action on Activity diagram on System block
3) Power Rollup Pattern Application

This video was inspired from the following sources.
