allocated requirement not in relationship matrix

[Peter @ BRACE]

I use the relationship matrix to analyse which requirements I have allocated to which activities. But when changing the type of requirement to 'allocated' (according SysML) it is not identified in the relationship matrix anymore.

Possible cause could be the capital 'A' where SysML plugin uses lower case.

Peter,

My understanding of the relationship matrix is that you can only matrix one type of object to one type of object with one type of relationship (at any given time).  That is to say, the relationships that exist in the model between TWO TYPES of objects.

Requirements would be one type of object, activities would be one type of object.  I assume the matrix you have created shows the relationships that exist between requirements and activities.  When you change the type from requirement to allocated, it is not longer one of the two types in the matrix.  You could create a separate matrix to show the relationships that exist between allocated and activities.

Alternatively, you could keep the type as requirement and just label the association as allocated.

I agree but if I change the matrix to find 'Allocated' objects (since 'allocated' is not available in the pull-down menu) to 'Activity' objects it does not give any results. If I set the matrix to 'all' it does show both requirements and 'allocated' objects.
