Association as SysML: CASE: Webel @ArgMap «pseudo» block (slightly less "fiddly" as an Internal Block Diagram)

If you aren't interested in complex Systems Modeling Language (SysMLv1) representations of Wolfram Language code by all means simply skip these slides and visit this slide instead for some more Mathematica-oriented examples!

For reference, an associated Policy Note (you don't need to visit this link yet):

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An '@' prefix in the name of a Block indicates a data structure (such as an Association or List) that does not have a corresponding MTools class or a Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) "pseudo class" in the Wolfram Language code.

This is all MASSIVELY EASIER (both for the Wolfram Language coding and for the SysML modelling) with the Webel MArg, MOpt, MFunction, and MClass MTools classes as we'll see next .

Please don’t be discouraged by the last two SysML slides!

Dr Darren says:

Sometimes I have special reasons for doing some very complex SysML diagrams for challenging problems; it's not a recommendation for you to also try to model this way. After all, I don't want you being turned off from using SysML for MBSE! Sometimes I'm showing applications that are NOT well suited to SysML (or coding strategies that aren't a good fit for modelling in SysML). That way, we all learn what SysML is indeed most effectively used for.

Notes

[NAMING, PATTERN, POLICY]{STRICT} Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Argument help holders use a String variable with the prefix '$arg$', a related '$info$arg$' String, a 'def$arg$' default value expression and/or 'req$arg$', and optional '$warn$arg$', '$tip$arg$, '$lab$arg$', 'type$arg$'..

[NAMING, PATTERN, POLICY]{STRICT} Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Option help holders use a String variable with the prefix '$opt$', a related '$info$opt$' String, a 'def$opt$' default value expression, and optional '$warn$opt$', '$tip$opt$', '$lab$opt$', and 'type$opt$' indicator ...

[CONVENTION, MODELLING, NAMING]{RECOMMENDED} Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An '@' prefix in the name of a Block indicates a data structure (such as an Association or List) that does not have a corresponding MTools class or a Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) "pseudo class" in the Wolfram Language code.
