AV-3 Actual measurement definition (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create an AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition:
• Right-click the
Architectural Description or
Service Description that is to own the AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition, point to New, point to Diagram, point to MODAF, and then click AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition.
Purpose
On an AV-3 Actual Measurement Definition:
• Create UML Slots for
Actual Property Set or
Service Level Value Set elements through Link relationships.
Diagram Elements
For information about showing compartments on diagram symbols, setting up default view options and adding existing elements to the diagram, see the following topics:
For information about the creation and appearance of elements that can be shown on all Product diagrams (Alias, Definition, Information, Metadata, Overlap and Same As elements), click here

To create an Actual Property Set:
• Click the 
Actual Property Set button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the classifier of the Actual Property Set.
Actual Property Set button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the classifier of the Actual Property Set.• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the element that you want to use as the classifier of the Actual Property Set, and then drag that element to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Actual Property Set, and then click OK.
The classifier of an Actual Property Set can be a Capability, Capability Configuration, Climate, Competence, Condition, Energy, Environment, Exchange Element, Geo Political Extent Type, Light Condition, Logical Architecture, Materiel, Measurement Set, Node, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Security Attributes Group, Security Domain, Service Access, Service Interface or Software element.
Link (UML item)
To create a Link: click the 
Link button, click the source Actual Property Set or Service Level Value Set, and then click destination Actual Property Set or Service Level Value Set.
Link button, click the source Actual Property Set or Service Level Value Set, and then click destination Actual Property Set or Service Level Value Set.When you create a Link, Modeler creates a slot on the source Actual Property Set or Service Level Value Set.
You can create a link between Actual Property Set or Service Level Value Set elements only when their classifiers are related through an appropriate relationship. For example, if the classifiers of two Actual Property Set elements are Capability elements, you can create a link only when the source Capability classifier has a Capability Property that uses the destination Capability classifier as its type.
To create a Service Level Value Set:
• Click the 
Service Level Value Set button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the classifier of the Service Level Value Set.
• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the element that you want to use as the classifier of the Service Level Value Set, and then drag that element to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Service Level Value Set, and then click OK.
The classifier of a Service Level Value Set can be a Capability, Capability Configuration, Climate, Competence, Condition, Energy, Environment, Exchange Element, Geo Political Extent Type, Light Condition, Logical Architecture, Materiel, Measurement Set, Node, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Security Attributes Group, Security Domain, Service Access, Service Interface or Software element.
