Module 3 - Internal block diagram Flashcards
purpose of an IBD ?
- show the connections among the structural features of a block
- Can also display item flows
what does an item flow represent ?
represent some type of object , matter , energy or data that flows in a connector in a direction
what do interfaces represent ?
An interface defines a set a ________features ( operations / receptions) that are required in the boundary
behavioral
remember an operation and reception are further defined in an interface block
a rectangle with solid borders in an IBD represents
part property ( typed by a block)
a rectangle with dashed borders in an IBD represents
reference property ( typed by block or actor)
how many part properties does Communication and data handling subsystem own ?
7
syntax for structural features unique to IBD , what is the multiplicity of this demod part property
1
what does backUpComputer represent ?
a part property is a role played and constrained by either 1…2 instances of Flight computer internal to the owning block when built
FlightComputer is a block
what can this reference property eps by typed by ?
block or actor can type a reference property eps
‘wheels’ is a element of definition or usage
Wheels is a part property which are elements of usages
a solid line connecting two elements of usage in an IBD is called a
connector
what is a connector ?
relationship between structural features.
a connector is an element of usage , a connector is not a relationship .
IBD can show a element of usage or element of definition ?
element of usage. which is a role played by instances of type …
role : type
difference between connector and association ?
association is an element of definition
connector is an element of usage
power cable is a reference association
bcPower is a
a connector (element of usage) must be typed by an
association ( element of definition )
True or False
Connectors must be typed
False it doesn’t have to be typed
connector is to association as part property is to
block
two defined categories of connectors are
1. dellegation connectors
2. ___________________
assembly connectors
- both appear as solid lines in the IBD
