RFLPLMKnowledge Types

The following knowledge types are available to handle the connectivity aspect of functional/logical models.

Various methods and computed attributes are defined on these types to allow navigation along functional/logical data.

This page discusses:

Attributes

Name Type Comment
ImplementingLogicalSystems List Returns a list of logical occurrences (LogicalOccurrence) implementing this FunctionalOccurrence.
Instance PLMEntity Returns the functional instance (RFLPLMFunctionalInstance, RFLPLMFunctionalCommunicationInstance) relative to the functional occurrence.
Reference PLMEntity Returns the functional reference (RFLPLMFunctionalReference, RFLPLMFunctionalCommunicationReference) relative to the functional occurrence.

Example (ImplementingLogicalSystems)

Let FctOccurrence(FunctionalOccurrence)
Let ImplementingLogSystems(List)
Let LogOccurrence(LogicalOccurrence)
FctOccurrence=…
ImplementingLogSystems=FctOccurrence.ImplementingLogicalSystems
If(ImplementingLogSystems.Size() == 1)
{
LogOccurrence = ImplementingLogSystems[1]
…
}

Example (Instance)

Let FctOccurrence(FunctionalOccurrence)
Let FctInstance(RFLPLMFunctionalInstance)
FctOccurrence = …
FctInstance = FctOccurrence.Instance

Example (Reference)

Let FctOccurrence(FunctionalOccurrence)
Let FctReference(RFLPLMFunctionalReference)
FctOccurrence = …
FctReference = FctOccurrence.Reference

SysItfInContext

A SysItfInContext is a structure gathering what identifies an Interface usage in a System Context.

Its fields are the following ones:

  • A SysConnectable (an object supporting the SystConnectable type)
  • An ordered list (aka path) of SysInterfaces (a list of objets supporting the SysInterface type).

Its fields can be accessed through the following accessors:

  • GetSysConnectable
  • GetSysInterfaces.

Two SysItfInContext structures can be compared using the Compare available operator.
