Physical architecture (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Physical Architecture:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to NAF, point to System, and then click Physical Architecture.
• From a Physical Architecture: right-click the Physical Architecture, point to New, point to NAF, and then click Physical Architecture.
• From an NSV-1 Resource Specification, NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or NSV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition: click the Physical Architecture button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Physical Architecture button, and then click in free space on the diagram.Appearance
When shown on an NSV-1 Resource Specification, NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or NSV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, a Physical Architecture appears as follows:
When shown on an NSV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or NSV-2 System Communications Description, a Physical Architecture appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Physical Architecture:
• UML Generalizations define Physical Architecture inheritance (NSV-1 Resource Specification).
• Forecast relationships link a Physical Architecture to forecasted future Physical Architecture elements.
• Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link a Physical Architecture to the Function elements that can be performed by the Physical Architecture.
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Physical Architecture is used in the model.

In addition to the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements (Alias, Definition, Information and Metadata):
Shown on these diagrams, tables and matrices
In addition to the NAV-2 Integrated Dictionary and NTV-1 Standards Profile, which can show all UPDM elements:
UPDM writeable properties
The following writeable properties are available on the Physical Architecture tab of a Physical Architecture element's Property Pages:
• isEncapsulated
• URI
