This video goes through when to use a SysML activity diagram (act) and how the activity diagram fits in with the other SysML diagrams, explains formal definitions and provides resources briefly, walks through all of common elements and nodes used on an activity diagram, shows examples in simulation toolkit within Cameo Systems Modeler, shows how to nest activities, shows how to connect with other behavior and structural diagrams, and explains how to use opaque actions to run scripts, perform functions, and pass variables to value properties.
Video goes from beginner level to intermediate.
