Fantastic video. Please keep doing more like this. You are CZcams SysML GOAT

[@eliza-ju3oh]

By far the best cameo tutorial i have come across on the internet. Well organized to be incredible effective and helpful. well done!

[@GenericUserUnknown]

Lots of great information. I kinda wish you didn't buzz through it, as though we already knew what you were saying. Really appreciate you covering this information.

[@andrewlee6118]

Very helpful, thanks!😁

[@parthyadav2957]

It was really verzyhelpfull for me. Thank you so much.

[@sunnysavito1582]

Really appreciate this!! I would like to see how the mass requirement equation was written...

[@mslonik]

Thank you for that excellent video! This time it is much wider insight into concept of BDD. For me it is especially valuable, that together with some SysML methodology are presented also specific implementation features: how to make use of CameoMagic to make life easier. I'll share it internally with my colleagues.

Suggestion for future video: what makes learning to me easier is presentation of the same example with gradation / increased level of complexity and different approach. To be more specific: one approach to modelling is representation of real objects / existing system in order to show abstract representation in SysML; for example car has wheels, chassis, engine, brakes. From the other hand one of the modelling challenges and also advantages is representation of physical modules from different systems into something unique, focusing on specific function; continuing my example from a car: braking system, where is involved driver, wheel, brake, abs microcontroller, CAN bus etc. I'm not sure if you get what I mean: cross references between physical modules creates added value if it is abstract to represent specific feature / subsystem / function.

Thanks for the positive feedback. We are always trying to improve video quality and helpfulness. We'll likly use your suggestion in a future video
