NSV-1 is the first Systems Viewpoint view to be developed. It requires NOV-2 to be completed.


To create an NSV-1 diagram


  1. Create Resources.
  2. Associate Resources using Resource Interfaces.
  3. Create Resource Interactions flowing via Resource Interfaces.


The NSV-1 product also allows you to show the Capabilities and Resources mapping the provided and required services and Competencies provided by the Resources. You can model each Resource internal structure using the System Interface Internal Description diagram or in a special structure compartment of this element shape.

You can proceed to create NSV-4 view as soon as the NSV-1 has been completed.
