Enterprise Architect - Executable State Machine - Time based transitions

Question

It has been a while I'm working with Enterprise Architect 13.5 and simulating state machines. Until now I manage transitions with simple triggers which are available in the simulation events window.

I am looking for a way to make a time based transition between two states but I do not figure how to do it.

When simulation is running I can't find a way to manage a 30s timeout between two states.

"Trigger and Events -- An Executable StateMachine supports event handling for Signals only. To use Call, Timing or Change Event types you must define an outside mechanism to generate signals based on these events."

Answer 2

Well, you already have answered your question. When you open the properties of the transition you see the properties where you can enter something like

The specification is as simple as that. Once you save that you see the trigger name along the transition:

Pretty much straight forward, isn't it?
