1. Begin with a SysML project with a requirement structure in Syndeia_DNG_Mapping_Tutorial.rpy (Get it here - SysML Models, Profiles and Mappings.), right-click the top-level package, and launch the Syndeia dashboard (Figure 1). Create or select the Syndeia Cloud project in which to store the inter-model connections.

3. Go to the Syndeia dashboard, Connection Manager tab. On the right side, select the DOORS NG repository and expand to show at least one requirement. In Figure 4, we will use 1517 – UAV Requirement (or any DNG model element accessible in your repository). On the left side, select the SysML model and expand it to show DOORS NG Tutorial::Reference Connection::cUAV.
