MDG
Technology for TRAKFeatures
The MDG Technology for TRAK plugin for Enterprise Architect provides:-
- TRAK views
- Model Views / Searches
- custom toolbox palettes
- context-sensitive linking of objects
- template model structure
TRAK Views
Clicking on the 'New Diagram' button in the Project Browser within Enterprise Architect will provide a list of TRAK views:
TRAK Views using UML Diagrams Added to the New Diagram Wizard
TRAK Views Using SysML Diagrams Added to the New Diagram Wizard
Custom Toolbox Palettes
For each TRAK view there is an associated toolbox palette that contains the types of object from the TRAK metamodel that are allowed to be used when creating the view. The MDG for TRAK ensures that the correct toolbox palette is automatically presented for the view being worked on.
The SV-01 toolbox palette supports the Solution Structure that shows the structural parts and relationships for the system of interest. The lower part shows those elements that are used to model organisational structures whilst the TRAK Common palette provides elements that can be added to any TRAK view such as Requirements, Concerns, Standards and supporting Documents.
Toolbox Palette for SV-01 Solution Structure View
The SV-13 Solution Risk view allows Vulnerabilities, Threats / Hazards to be described together with the Risks and Mitigations (linked to the elements of the system design of both the subject and the origin of the Threat / Hazard). The toolbox palette elements are:

The toolbox palette for the MV-03 Standards view not only allows views to be made of the standards applying to an enterprise, concept, system, project or the architecture description task itself but also provides relationships showing how standards depend on other standards to show how they are applied, superseded, enacted etc.
Context-Sensitive Linking of Objects
Enterprise Architect provides a quick way of making relationships known as Quicklink or Quick Linker.
Where it makes sense to do so this has been customised to offer a valid relationship from the TRAK metamodel according to the types of start/end object selected. The MDG for TRAK not only offers the correct relationship between a pair of elements but will offer to create a new element of the correct type if you drag the Quicklink arrow to a blank part of the diagram canvas from any element on the diagram.

Template Model Structure
Using the 'New Model' wizard MDG Technology for TRAK provides a template model package (folder) structure populated with a typical set of TRAK views. See the introduction to the Template.
