Generation Error:
No enumeration marked with 'signals' stereotype or name 'Signals' found....

You are generating code for State Machines with Signals.
For this you need a Signals enum in your model.

See: Signals

• FSM
• FSM_STATE
• time_units

The generated State Machine requires a structure definition: Structure Definitions

Starting from scratch with Enterprise Architect
or
Starting from scratch with MagicDraw

Attribute, Operation or other typed elements have characters:

• missing 
• replaced

in the generated code.

This is due to the fact that Embedded Engineer only uses the "Normalized Name" of an element.

Only exeption from this rule are the Primites.
