check traceability

Overview

With Next Design, you can also view model components in a tree view and check traceability across models.

Below, we will explain the traceability confirmation between models in the following order.

1. Switch to the traceability confirmation screen
2. Confirm traceability between models
3. Confirm traceability to specific model components

1. Switch to traceability confirmation screen

To check the traceability, switch the screen to the trace page. On the Trace page, place multiple models side by side to see traceability between models. A vertical viewing area in which a single model is displayed is called a lane.

To switch to the Traces page, from the Ribbon:

Operation procedure

1. Click Traceability > Page > Trace on the ribbon.
2. To return to the editor page for model editing, click [Traceability] > [Page] > [Editor] on the ribbon.

2. Ensure traceability between models

To select a model to display in a lane, do the following:

Operation procedure

1. Click the pull-down list at the top of the lane.
2. Click to display the models in the project in a tree view, and select a model to display the components of that model in the lane. Now expand the tree and select the following models:
   • Model: [Model Derivation Sample] > [Requirement Model] > [Use Case Model]

To add a model to your trace page:

Operation procedure

1. Click the menu button at the top right of each lane.
2. Run the Add Lane command from the menu and select the model to display in the lane. Here we line up the following models in order starting from the left lane:
   • use case model
   • Component structure model
3. Add lanes to line up the models and display trace lines representing derived relationships between adjacent models.

3. Check traceability to specific model components

To check traceability to a specific component in your model, do the following:

Operation procedure

1. Click the component of the model displayed on the lane.
2. Click to highlight related model components and relationship lines based on the hierarchical structure of derived relationships and destinations for that component.
