Our research focuses on the simulation of heterogeneous systems modeled in SysML, in particular, systems that mix different engi- neering domains such as mechanics, analog and digital circuits. Because of their nature, expressing multi-paradigm behavior in heterogeneous systems is a cumbersome endeavor. SysML does not provide a standard method for defining the operational semantics of individual blocks nor any intrinsic adaptation mechanism when coupling blocks of different domains. We present in this paper a way to address these obstacles. We give well-defined operational semantics to SysML blocks by using profile extensions, together with a language for the description of adaptors. We apply our approach to a test case, using a toolset for SysML to VHDL-AMS transformation, capable of automated generation of VHDL-AMS code for system verification by simulation.
