Creating a validate relationship (MBRE profile)
The Validate relationship is a PTC proprietary relationship that is available only when the MBRE Profile has been added to a model.
You can create Validate relationships on an MBRE Traceability Diagram or through a Modeler pane:
On an MBRE Traceability Diagram you can create a Validate relationship only from an Activity, Actor, Block, Class or Use Case to a Use Case.
Through a Modeler pane you can create Validate relationships from any item to a Use Case.

When you add a Validate relationship to an item, Modeler applies the «UseCaseRelated» stereotype to that item. On the UseCaseRelated tab of the item's Property Pages, the validatedBy and validates tag definitions show how that item is linked to other items through Validate relationships.
