Clone Structure 20 times with the same "mother"
« on: December 13, 2018, 07:28:30 am »
Hi Team,

I have a part of a model which is modeled one time. I have to add tagged values into some sub elements which stored in a model. The model have 4 levels in details.

I clone the main model at the first time all is ok.
i clone the the main model a second time i see that some items link to the first clone and not to version 1.0.

I have use 1.01 up to 1.16 but now i have a lot of relationships between all clones which should not given.

Did you have a hint which should i can do better?

In normal case i want that all version 1.01 to 1.16 should have a relationship to version 1.0 if i add a tagged value in version 1.0 i want to give a value in version 1.01 to 1.16

if i work which the generalization i lose the connectors inside the diagrams.
if i copy the sysml block "Full Structure duplication" i have no traceability which i want to use.

I hope you can give me some support here.

Honestly, I don't get what you did and why you were doing it at all. Not talking about the issue you seem to have then.

Yes, the Clone feature of packages is broken.
It sometimes also duplicates relations to elements in the original package.

I've reported it just over a year ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet.

Thats an answer which i need to know.

@qwerty

i have an Block diagram which is my basic structure. This structure is like a house. Cellar, Ground floor, First floor and each floor have some rooms. in that rooms i have the same components with different tagged values.

i have generate a "Basic Room" and this room is Version 1.0

Now i want to use the Version 1.1 for the first Cellar Room and 1.2 for the second Cellar room. Groundfloor has 4 rooms which have Version 2.1 to 2.4.
But the Generalization not only show that 2.1 look to source 1.0 "Basic Room". The Generalization show to all created generalization before.

Did you now understand my problem?

I think I know what you are doing. But I never got why people use cloning in a model. Having a "model factory" seems very much far fetched. When I model something each element has a very individual meaning. And cloning it even once does not make sense at all since what do I achieve? A new basic concept as alternative? How many alternatives would one model? And why?  So, basically, I still don't get what you are doing there.
