Happy Chinese New Year!
新年快乐！ 3SL 祝愿我们的所有客户，合作伙伴和供应商2023吉祥如意！
The Chinese New Year holiday reached its climax with the Lantern Festival, celebrated on February 5th, 2023.
We want to share the love of engineering through Requirements Management and integrated MBSE. Rather than roses, we will use Cradle!
So if you need more Cradle licences for a bigger project or you want to upgrade your single user product to Cradle 7.7, then contact 3SL for further information.
Happy Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day)
We hope you have a great pancake day (February 21st) whatever your process flow may be!
Pancake Flow Diagram (PFD) !
A PFD (Process Flow Diagram), rather than Pancake Flow Diagram shows a particular task or process that the system can perform. This is termed a flow. Systems may have many flows, each of which may have concurrent or optional elements.
Modelling the flow before you take action can ensure you have thought about, and documented, the expected behaviour(s). It can be clear which parts of the system are operating in parallel and which could be bottlenecks awaiting the outcome of previous operations. However, modelling Shrove Tuesday’s pancakes may be a bit excessive ….

Happy New Year
We hope all those celebrating over Christmas had a safe and happy time.
Into a new year and a time to reflect on both your company’s achievements and problems. Whilst the turn of a date is nothing magical, the psychological effect of a new term can really help enthuse and help us focus.
If a project wasn’t quite on track, a root cause analysis can help identify where things went astray. Use this as a positive for new projects and look out for the ‘gotcha’ next time round. It is also important to identify the successes, the team and company can lever the feel-good factor on jobs well done.

Showing Cell Titles in Views
Sometimes when displaying a nested view the cell titles take up a lot of space on the screen.
Displaying Cell Titles
Within the View Details dialog you have the option to choose whether you want to display the cell titles:
Displaying cell titles in views
As you can see you can choose to either:
Show the cell titles
Hide the cell titles
Show the cell titles only when the view is top-level
You can change the visibility of any of the component views that are being used to show linked items. In practice, most people either hide everything or show everything.
For further information on views please see our online help page.

July has come around again and we turn our thoughts to hot sunny days, (in the northern hemisphere), beach holidays perhaps and take time to relax. We look forward to sun, sand and new releases…
Sun, Sand and New Releases
We can use this time to re-assess how we do things, how to do things better and make improvements in our personal and working lives.
On the topic of improvements, July marks the month in which 3SL releases our new 7.7 version of Cradle. There are many enhancements and improvements that will be beneficial to our users.
Cradle-7.7 Release
New features coming in this release:
Cradle 7.7 coming soon
Pie charts
Metrics in graphs
Many small enhancements to documentation
New dial type in dashboards – anular percentage
Update to DEMO project
Enhancements to baseline reports
Snapshots
Test Mail button added to test mail settings
Test Execution UI in Project Setup enhanced
Added support for Windows 11
Added support for Office 2019 and Office 365
Training Courses
We now have a new training course available for all users of Cradle. The User Training course will be taking place on October 5th – 6th 2022.
Pearls are the birthstone for the month of June. Pearls are associated with purity, honesty, and wisdom, as in the term “Pearls of wisdom.”
Pearls of Wisdom
That is a description of wise advice, concise pieces of sagacity that are metaphorically as precious as pearls. Originally, pearls of wisdom referred to bits of information or advice that the receiver truly found precious. Today, referring to information or advice one receives as pearls of wisdom is often, but not always, sarcastic, as the phrase is now considered a terrible cliché. The term pearls of wisdom dates back at least to the early 1800s.
Wisdom in Systems Engineering
Wisdom can take various forms of thinking. Strategic wisdom; system wisdom; decision wisdom; creative wisdom and so on. All these forms of wisdom can be utilised if they are organised to work together in a single, integrated solution. This will get the best results, as all the effort will guide that wisdom to be used systematically to reach the same required goals.
Cradle 7.7 Release
Cradle 7.7 coming soon
We are pleased to announce that the Cradle 7.7 release will be ready at the end of July. We are now in the final testing stages of the new release – watch for news. Those under maintenance will receive this update including the new features for free. Those without maintenance or using single user products from earlier point releases will need to purchase an upgrade to 7.7.
New features coming in this release:
Pie charts
Metrics in graphs
Many small enhancements to documentation
New dial type in dashboards – anular percentage
Update to DEMO project
Enhancements to baseline reports
Snapshots
Test Mail button added to test mail settings
Test Execution UI in Project Setup enhanced
Added support for Windows 11
Added support for Office 2019 and Office 365
Look out for more information on these enhancements in the future.
Training Courses
Online Cradle Training
We are pleased to announce that we shall be adding new training courses soon. We have a new one day User course and a Modelling course. These will be available on the website shortly.
Prices
Regrettably, the price for all variants of Cradle will be increasing by approximately 10% on the 1st of August 2022. All quotes given before then are still valid at the quoted price, even if the purchase takes place after 1st August 2022.
Dual Monitor Issues
Some issues have been detected when running our Toolsuite applications (Document Loader or Document Publisher), e.g. when running dual monitors, with certain scaling settings etc.
We most likely understand this to mean encourage, provoke or urge. Unfortunately there is no underlying tasty treat associated with the phrase. Eggs and Easter eggs may represent the start of a new life or regeneration and are often given at Easter after their consumption would have been prohibited during Lent.
Project
An egg holds the building instructions for a new life, and when fertilised can grow into something great. Like a new life, a project needs to be nurtured in order to grow. However, it must be led in the correct direction, not allowed to grow too fast or out of control for the best success. There will be risks on the way and its progress needs to be monitored and checked.
Go-on
So we urge, cajole and encourage you to keep your projects safe, warm and cared for the only way we know how – in Cradle. Now does anyone fancy taking up the Chicken and Egg debate???
Return
3SL Offices
During April 3SL UK offices are making a phased return to the office. It’s been over 2 years since we’ve sat at our desks. It was a bit of a time capsule moment seeing diaries open on March 2020! You will still be able to email, use webinar, or snail-mail, but if you call us on +44 1229 838867 you may find different voices answer.
Training
Online Cradle Training
TheProject Administration 20th-21st April 2022 course is designed for project team leaders or managers who administer and manage Cradle projects. It will cover user and project administration. It will also include setting up project schemas helping your users to hit the ground running.

HII Tweet March 2022
We marvelled at how a dock can float in this tweet from HII.

Properties
Updating Item Properties. If you have a large number of items for which you need to change value(s) did you know you can set properties? Take a peek at this method on our YouTube Channel
Most English native readers will understand the text above. Although we must admit it is fairly atrocious. We are so used to reading context, that even when letters are missing or transposed we still understand. Sometimes [sic ]don’t even notice the errors. We have come acustomed [sic] to our browsers and text document processors telling us the spelling of a word is not recognised. However, unless there is some form of context processing too, a smelling [sic] mistake would get through even if a sbelling [sic] mistake was highlighted.
Proof
1m not 1mm high
March the 8th recognised proof reading day, which may be a delight for the pedants among or is that amongst us. However, it does highlight the importance of peer review. Proof reading is generally defined as “a process of finding and correcting textual mistakes before it is published” Elements that are easily overlooked when you read information back to yourself are often picked out faster by another. You “know” what you intended to write, and the human brain is very good at telling you that’s what is on the page.
Typos
It may be blatantly obvious you meant the EV socket was to be placed 1m from the floor but that extra ‘m‘ that remained in your text was a typo. Now no one can plug their car into the socket that is 1mm from the floor. You would hope the contractor would question this. However, not all errors are as obvious, incorrectly specifying a tolerance of 0.01mm or 0.1mm could either mean some costly but unnecessary machining, or components that don’t fit depending on the use case. Language semantics can also get in the way of clear communication. Peers are likely to question whether you really wanted to separate those who may consider cannibalism; “To avoid smells, the train buffet service should segregate eating passengers”. Whilst in reality it is unlikely to be misconstrued, it may show a less than professional approach to your stakeholders especially in a presentation or final review.
Discussions
In Cradle we have covered the benefits of reviews and formal base-lining. However we also advocate the use of Discussionsas a method of reviewing and recording comments and notes.
Checkers
Cradle supports a Conformance Checker to examine the correctness of requirements against a set of language / semantic checks. If you have ToolSuite you can also access a SpellChecker to examine your item’s text.

ISO9001
3SL Certificate Number 16926 ISO 9001
3SL are proud to announce their third year recertification for ISO9001. The team working with the audit said we passed with flying colours and there were no non-conformances. This is a testimony to all who have helped throughout the year improving and recording our processes.
The ISO says of the scheme
“ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement). It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. In fact, there are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001. This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. These principles are explained in more detail in ISO’s quality management principles. Using ISO 9001 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good-quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.”[1]

ZF Group Tweet Feb 2022

Frame Data Storage
Did you know you can store your data in Cradle in several ways? In the database, in a file, as a reference or retrieve it by command? Why not take a peek at the possibilities.
