When elements have an internal structure, the rake icon appears on the element shape. If those elements belong to an aspect diagram, the rake icon navigates to the same aspect internal structure of the selected element. If there is no internal diagram of the same aspect, then any diagram of another aspect or diagram without aspect is opened.

The figure below demonstrates the electrical Internal Block diagram of the Climate Control Hardware. The rake icon on the part typed by Control System Block indicates that it contains an inner structure. There are four Internal Block diagrams for the Control System in the model. Although, after double-clicking on that part shape typed by Control System Block, the rake icon navigates exactly to the electrical Internal Block diagram of the Control System.
