Resource constraint (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Resource Constraint:
• From an Architectural Description, Physical Data Model or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to MODAF, point to System, and then click Resource Constraint.
• From a Capability Configuration, Energy, Entity Item, Exchange Element, Function, Geo Political Extent Type, Materiel, Node, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Security Domain, Service Access and Software: right-click the element, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Resource Constraint.
• From an SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-1 Resource Interaction Specification, SV-2 Resource Communications Description, SV-4 Functionality Description, SV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, SV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, SV-10c Resource Event-Trace Description or SV-11 Physical Schema: click the Resource Constraint button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Resource Constraint button, and then click in free space on the diagram.After creating a Resource Constraint, use the Full Text property to specify the text of that Resource Constraint.
Applying to elements
When you create a Resource Constraint it is applied to the owning element, unless the owning element is an Architectural Description, Physical Data Model or Service Description. You can apply a Resource Constraint to many elements.
To apply a Resource Constraint to an element:
• From an appropriate diagram: click the 
Note Link button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.
Note Link button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.• To apply a Resource Constraint to an element:
◦ Right-click the Resource Constraint, point to Links, and then click Resource Constrained Element. From the Links Editor, select the elements to which the Resource Constraint applies.
◦ Right-click the element, point to Links, point to Applied, and then click Resource Constraint. From the Links Editor, select the Resource Constraint elements that apply to the element.
You can apply a Resource Constraint to Capability Configuration, Energy, Entity Item, Exchange Element, Function, Geo Political Extent Type, Materiel, Node, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Security Domain, Service Access and Software elements.
Appearance
When shown on an SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-1 Resource Interaction Specification, SV-2 Resource Communications Description, SV-4 Functionality Description, SV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, SV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, SV-10c Resource Event-Trace Descriptionor SV-11 Physical Schema, a Resource Constraint appears as follows:
An SV-10a Resource Constraints Specification can show which Resource Constraint elements are applied to system elements.
Relationships
There are no relationships that are of significant importance to a Resource Constraint.
The following sections provide information about how a Resource Constraint is used in the model.
