Creating Allocation View

You can create an allocation view containing allocated function and logical components.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:
  • Create a root function component containing a function component.
  • Create a root logical component containing a logical component.
  • Create an implement link between the root components. For more information, see Creating Implement Relations.

Create Automatically Allocation View

You can generate an allocation view where the allocated function and logical components are automatically placed.

  1. Select the root components.
  2. From the Diagram section of the action bar, select Create Allocation View .
  3. Enter a name for the sheet and the allocation view.
    An allocation view is created under the root logical components. The allocated logical and function are placed in the allocation view.
  4. Create an implement link between the logical and the function component.

    Notes:

    The implement link appears between the two selected components. From the allocation view, you can display the implement relations with the traceability matrix. For more information, see Managing Implement Relations with the Traceability Matrix.
    Notes:
    • When you select the implementation link in the tree, the implement link route is highlighted in the allocation view.
    • You can choose to display or not connections between functional or logical components using options from the Place in View of Components section in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Architecture > Functional & Logical Design > Diagram View. For more information, see Native Apps Preferences Guide: Diagram View
    • You can customize the display of the implement link through the Allocation View option in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Architecture > Functional & Logical Design > Diagram View.
  5. You can create a reference-reference link or an occurrence-occurrence link.
  6. You can displays information about implemented and implementing relations using the Standard: Implement Relations Based on Data in Session B.I.
  7. Optional: To update the allocation view after modifications, right-click the allocation view and select Update View.

    Note: If the Activation of view option is selected in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Architecture > Functional & Logical Design > Diagram View tab > Global Update section, you can double-click the allocation view to update it.

    The implemented component is placed inside the implementing component.
  8. Optional: To display the components as they were just after the generation of the allocation view, right-click the allocation view and select Reset View.
