Creating Implement Relations

Create Implement Relations helps create implement relations between two elements from the Requirement, Functional, Logical and Physical categories.

More precisely, you can create implement links for two purposes:

Between two references: To define the context or subcontext of your system (for example, a context can be the full vehicle, the motor only, the rotor only...). Such links are useful to open with completion a subsystem with the Smart Open in RFLP command.
Between two occurrences: To define, within a context, a relation between two elements. Such link indicates the purpose of an element, and ensures it fulfills a need.

This task shows you how to:

Create a Reference-Reference Implement Link
Create an Occurrence-Occurrence Implement Link

Create a Reference-Reference Implement Link

Before you begin: To create a reference-reference link:

Between two subelements of your system, you must activate the advanced options for the Create Implement Relation command.
Between the root nodes of your system, you can use the command without activating the advanced options.

Create an Occurrence-Occurrence Implement Link

Before you begin: To create an implement relation between two elements, a context must be defined in their parent level, with a reference-reference relation. In other words, two elements of their parent levels, or at least their tree roots, must be linked with a reference-reference implement linked.

Note that:

With the standard options, the root context is applied.
With the advanced options, a predefined context is applied.
