The matrix element in the model is similar to the diagram element. After creating a new matrix, it appears in the Model Browser as a model element.

 

To create a Dependency Matrix

  1. In the Containment tree, select an element that can be the owner of the generic table.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • From the main menu, select Diagrams > Create Diagram. Select Dependency Matrix and press Enter.
    • On the main toolbars, click the Create Diagram button. Select Dependency Matrix and press Enter.
    • Press Ctrl+N. Select Dependency Matrix and press Enter.

    • Right-click the element and from the shortcut menu select Create Diagram > Analysis Diagrams > Dependency Matrix.

      If you cannot see the Dependency Matrix, make sure the Expert mode is enabled.

    The newly dependency matrix opens on the right side of the application window.

  3. Type the name of the matrix.
  4. Select the criteria for the matrix.
  5. Click the Refresh  button. The matrix is created.

 

You can also create dependency matrices using a custom dependency matrix type.
