You can use all predefined relation maps to represent the traceability of system requirements and design elements. The main purpose of relation maps is to review and analyze relations among the elements and create new elements directly in the relation map. It is a special kind of diagram that automatically updates and renders an element's dependency tree according to predefined dependency criteria. You can create five kinds of predefined relation maps:
You can create predefined relation maps only if you have the SysML Plugin Documentation installed. Installation and licensing
The different purposes for each relation map are illustrated below:
- Activity Decomposition Map displays an Activity decomposition of the selected context. You can review, analyze, and decompose the Activities. The example below is created by using the distiller model.mdzip sample model that only comes with SysML Plugin Documentation.
- Structure Decomposition Map displays the decomposition of the Part Property related through the Composition relationship of the specified context. You can review, analyze, and decompose the Part Properties. The example below is created by using the VehicleStructure.mdzip sample model that only comes with Cameo Simulation Toolkit Documentation.
- Instance Map displays a hierarchy of the Instance of the selected context. You can review and analyze the hierarchy of Instance Specifications. The example below is created by using the SpacecraftMassRollup_HTMLTable.mdzip sample model that only comes with Cameo Simulation Toolkit Documentation.
- Requirement Containment Map displays the decomposition of the Requirement related through the Containment relationship of the specified context. You can review, analyze, and decompose the Requirements. The example below is created by using the hybrid sport utility vehicle.mdzip sample model that only comes with the SysML Plugin Documentation.
- Requirement Derivation Map displays the decomposition of Requirementthat are related trough the Deriverelationship. You can review, analyze, and create Derive relationships among the Requirements. The example below is created by using the hybrid sport utility vehicle.mdzip sample model that only comes with the SysML Plugin Documentation.
Additional relation map
You can also create a Relation Map Diagram if you want a rapid review, analysis, and creation of relationships among the elements of the entire model. Relation Map
The following procedures explain how to work with relation maps.
