To create a Property: click the Property button, and then click the owning element. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the element that is the type of the Property, or create an untyped Property.
The owning element for a Property can be a Capability, Capability Configuration, Energy, Materiel, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Service Access or Software element.
The type of the Property can be a Climate, Condition, Environment, Geo Political Extent Type, Light Condition, Location Type, Measurement Set, Physical Location or Security Attributes Group element.
To hide Property elements shown on the owning element: through the View Options of the owning element, do not show Attributes.
To create a Request: click the Request button, and then click the owning element. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Service Interface that is the type of the Request, or create an untyped Request.
The owning element for a Request can be a Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Service Access or Software element.
To hide Request elements shown on the owning element: through the View Options of the owning element, do not show Attributes.
To create a Resource Artifact: click the Resource Artifact button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Create Property, Request, Resource Role, Service and Resource Operation elements on the Resource Artifact, and use Generalization relationships to define Resource Artifact inheritance.
To create a Resource Constraint: click the Resource Constraint button, and then click in free space on the diagram. Use the Full Text property to specify the text of the Resource Constraint.
To apply a Resource Constraint to an element on the diagram: click the Link button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.
You can apply a Resource Constraint to Capability Configuration, Energy, Materiel, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Service Access and Software elements.
