The OV-5 view consists of these two diagrams:

  1. Operational Activity Model. This diagram represents Operational Activity hierarchies.
  2. Operational Activity Flow Model.This diagram represents Operational Activity flows.

Before creating the Operational Activity Flow Model diagram, the Operational Activity Model diagram must be created first.


To create an OV-5 diagram for Operational Activity flows


  1. Create Operational Activity Actions or just drop Operational Activities from the Containment tree directly to the Diagram.
  2. Connect Operational Activity Actions with Operational Activity Edges.
  3. Display the possible Operational Exchanges on Operational Activity Edges.
