Generate Flow From Components

You can display emitting and consuming flows by selecting a logical or a function component. The matrix can be expanded to display the children flow exchanges.

  1. In the tree, select a function component.
  2. From the Edition section of the action bar, click Open Flow Matrix in New Window .
    The Flow Matrix pane appears and displays the parent function components of the model.

    The value in the cells indicate the number of elementary flows produced by the function component of the corresponding line and consumed by the function of the corresponding column.

  3. To expand a component:
    1. Select the component to be expanded.
    2. Click Expand ... and select the first level.

    Note: To expand the whole matrix, click Expand All.

    The line and column of the selected component are highlighted.
  4. To display the flows exchanged between the children of a component, enter a value to indicate the level in the Internal Flow Depth box.

    Note: By default, they are not displayed (0). To display all the levels, enter -1.

    All intermediate parents are removed and only the number of flows between the remaining children functions are computed.
