Behavior Diagrams for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE): State Machine Diagrams

This third part in the MBSE Behavior Diagrams series explores state machine diagrams, which are crucial for systems with multiple modes of operation. These diagrams capture the system’s states and the criteria for transitioning between them, ensuring an accurate representation of system behavior under various conditions. State machine diagrams help in defining system states and transitions, preventing undesirable states such as shifting a car from “drive” to “park” while in motion. Note: This diagram requires Stateflow^®.
