Getting Started with
Innoslate®
Realize successful, smarter systems with Innoslate
the full lifecycle systems engineering tool

2. The Full Lifecycle in One Tool

3. One View Automatically Produces Many
Views
• Functional Views
• Physical Views
• Requirements Views

4. View Auto-Generation Gives You
• Simplicity: Learn just the LML Action Diagram, LML Asset Diagram, and
Requirements View to generate 15+ diagrams and matrices
automatically
• Accuracy: All diagrams and views are automatically synced with each
other to prevent model errors and inconsistencies
• Efficiency: Manually create fewer diagrams while automatically
generating diagrams difficult to generate manually
• Enforce standards: Diagrams in Innoslate adhere to the LML, SysML,
and/or best practices to ensure compliance across the project

5. Getting Started with Innoslate

6. Innoslate Security

certifications:
• ISO 27001:2005
• SAS70 Type II
• SSAE 16 Type II
• ISAE 3402 Type II

7. System Requirements
• Platform Independent
• Works on Windows XP/7/8/RT,
MAC OS X, Linux, iOS, Android
• Software
• Any modern web browser (Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, IE
10 or 11)
• No downloads required
7

8. CONOPS/Use Case Development

9. Use Cases
• Use Case Diagram
• Used to list use cases
• Action or Activity Diagram
• Used to create executable processes
• Use discrete event and/or Monte Carlo simulators

10. Simulate Your Scenario
Explore the variation of individual steps to execute the model over
many iterations using the Monte Carlo Simulator
Watch scenario execute at all levels using
the Discrete Event Simulator

11. Architecture-Based CONOPS Document
• Use CONOPS templates in
Documents View to create a
detailed CONOPS document
based on the architecture of
your system
• Use this living document
throughout the lifecycle

12. Requirements Management

13. Import Originating Artifacts
• Select “Import Analyzer”
• Automatically identifies
potential requirements
vs. statements that
provide context
13

14. Use Traceability Spider Diagram to link
between Requirements, Actions and Assets
• Shows how a single
entity (database object)
is related to the rest of
the system
• Drag and drop new
entities and create
relationships right from
the diagram
14

15. Generate Specifications from the Model
15
Implements the way to go from MBSE to a specification.

16. Integration and Test Support

17. Innoslate Supports the I&T Phase
• Documents View has Test Plan templates already available
• Test results from other tools can also be captured as Artifacts
and traced back to requirements, use cases, and CONOPS
• You can analyze and enhance your test processes and
procedures using the functional analysis tools available

18. Build the Asset Diagram to Capture
Interfaces
18
Create a classic block diagram … … or add pictures and special lines for concept diagram

19. Or Use the Internal Block Diagram or
Physical I/O Diagram
• SysML IBD provides
ports and interfaces
• Physical I/O diagram
shows data flows with
physical entities (Assets)
• Will automatically set up
Conduits between Assets
and allocate the I/Os to
those Conduits

20. Program Management
• Risk Management
• Configuration
Management
• Issue Tracking

21. Develop the Project Management
Plan in Innoslate
• Now the plan
elements can be
directly related to
requirements, risks,
decisions, and
business processes
• Output as MS Word
Document
21

22. Conduct Model-Based Project Management
• All modern (last 60 years)
business approaches
emphasize process
modeling
• Includes identification of
products (deliverables) and
resources

23. Derive the Schedule
• Use the processes to
develop realistic schedules
• Automatically captures
simulation results as Artifacts
for comparison and
documentation
• Cost and resource reports

24. Derive Schedule, Cost, Time, and more

25. Capture Risks and Conduct Risk Analysis
• Identify risks as part of the
overall requirements,
functional and physical
analyses
• Trace the sources of risk to
these analyses
25

26. Functional Architecture and Sequence
Diagrams

27. Build an Action Diagram to Easily Model
Scenarios or Business Processes
• Functional modeling
• sequencing and data flow, with allocation and resource modeling explicit
• Drag/drop capable
• Executable in both Discrete Event and Monte Carlo simulators
27

28. Or Use the Sequence Diagram
• Functional sequencing
• Another view from the database,
not a separate “drawing”
• Can generate from Action Diagram
or be used to generate an Action
Diagram
• Also, drag and drop capable, with
sidebar for information on entities

29. And the IDEF0 Diagram
• Classic data flow modeling
• Drag and drop
• Sidebar enabled
• ICOM view also available

30. DoDAF Architecture

31. DoDAF Dashboard
• Access to all DoDAF
products
• DM2 Statistics
• PES export
DM2 = DoDAF MetaModel 2.0

32. Tool Comparisons
Innoslate vs. SysML Drawing Tool
• Automatic diagram generation (Develop a few diagrams and automatically
generate many diagrams; saving time and increasing accuracy)
• Large scalability (Innoslate Cloud - thousands of users around the world across
many servers; Innoslate Enterprise - tested for 500 users and 10 million objects)
• Complete requirements tool (replace and exceed DOORS capabilities)
• Complete simulation capability (simulators in other tools only provide a step logic
checker; Innoslate has analytical Discrete Event and Monte Carlo simulators that
provide cost, schedule, and performance information)
• Real-Time Collaboration (Real time updates, group chat, and project dashboard)
• Platform Independent (Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS)
• Availability (Public Cloud @ innoslate.com, NIPRNet on NSERC, SIPRNet on
NSERC, Amazon GovCloud, Amazon AWS, Private Server at your data center)

33. Tool Comparison
Innoslate vs. Requirement Tools
• Advanced quality analysis (Integrated Natural Language Parsing technology scores
and recommends improvements to requirements)
• Integrated standard modeling capability (LML and SysML capability integrated;
Hierarchy, Tree, Spider, and SysML Requirement diagrams are autogenerated from the
document)
• Integrated simulation capability (Innoslate has analytical Discrete Event and Monte
Carlo simulators that provide cost, schedule, and performance information)
• Large scalability (Innoslate Cloud - thousands of users around the world across many
servers; Innoslate Enterprise - tested for 500 users and 10 million objects)
• Real-Time Collaboration (Real time updates, group chat, and project dashboard)
• Platform Independent (Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome OS)
