When valuating
parameters located in
different components, a new structure is created. The role of the assistant is
to create this structure automatically:
- When a
relation tries to
valuate a parameter located in another component (the relation is "pointing out
a parameter"). The appropriate structure is composed of:
- The local parameter
- The external parameter (representing the local parameter in the
other component)
- The
formula which valuates
the final parameter with the external parameter value.
- Replacement of the relation final parameter references to take the
new structure into account.
- Easy identification of the created elements by the end user: Specific
sets (parameters sets and relations sets) are created to simply identify the
created objects:
- "Inter component valuation – local results" parameter
set for the local parameters,
- "Inter component valuation – external results"
parameter set for the external parameters,
- "Inter component valuation – formulas" relation set for
the formulas.

The following features are integrated to this behavior:
- Rules
- Actions
- Reactions
- Design tables
- Equivalent dimensions features.
Notes:
- All the created objects are user's parameters/relations meaning
that the assistant creates this object as if the user had done it and he can
rename, modify or delete this structure.
- If the user deletes or renames a parameter or a relation set
created automatically, the next execution of the assistant recreates new sets
with the original name.
- The name of the created parameter is similar to the name of the
original parameter.
