You can use the Process Gantt chart to display systems and their operations, create operations, and create time constraints between operations.

Creating Time Constraint Links Between Operations
  1. From the Authoring section of the action bar, click Process Gantt .
  2. Select a system in the tree or System Editor.

    This can be the root system or a child system under the root system.

    Multi-Selection is not available. Only one system and its children are displayed in the Process Gantt.

    The image below shows an example of a Process Gantt chart:

  3. Click Create Precedence Link and select Loading Operation B then General Operation B in the Process Gantt chart.
    A precedence constraint link appears in the Process Gantt chart between the two operations.
    Note: Another way of creating this type of constraint is by dragging and dropping one operation on the other.
  4. Select Create End-Start Link and select Loading Operation C then General Operation C in the Process Gantt chart. In the pop-up that appears, specify a delay of 5 seconds between these two operations.
    A synchronization link appears in the Process Gantt chart between the two operations.

    Note: Another way of creating this type of constraint is by dragging and dropping one operation on the other while pressing the Ctrl key. You then select Create End-Start Link from the context toolbar that appears.
  5. Select General System C in the Process Gantt chart and click Unloading .

    In the Operation attributes dialog box that appears, enter an appropriate name and specify an estimated time of 2.5 seconds.

    The new operation is created after the last operation in the selected system.

  6. Create a precedence constraint link between General Operation C and the Unloading Operation C that you just created.
    The link appears in the Process Gantt chart between the two operations.

You can choose to display or hide precedence constraints and synchronization links in the Process Gantt chart. Right-click in the chart and select or clear the corresponding check box options in the context menu.
