Hi,
I tried Time Aware Modeling, but I am not sure if I understood TAM completely.
I reference the tutorial in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o47uZYgSgDE. If I follow the tutorial and clone the package and the element, I get:
- a new package,
- a new diagram,
- a new element,
- a trace-relationship between old and new element, useful for the traceability diagram, and
- the relationships are also copied.
The cloned element is in fact just a new element with a new GUID. But there is nothing what a cannot achieve without “cloning” or following the wizard. I am afraid that I missed something. What is it?
Many thanks in advance, V.

I do not know from when it was changed, but now EA does not create a Trace relationships between the TAM objects.
Maybe it is impossible to create these TAM virtual relationships without using the TAM related features.

Traceability shows "depends on / needed by" and now "replaces / replaced by". "Insert Related Element" showed "Trace" and now "Abstraction". In a own created Traceability-Diagram the relationship is shown as "«trace»". Hopefully I remember this correctly.
Why is this "trace" or "replaced by" a "Virtual Connection"? What is the behavior of a virtual connection? My understanding is, that EA does not support virtual connections.

In V16.1 all TMA clone elements are a new elements with a new GUID. But when you clone a diagram no new elements are created, new elements are created only when they are cloned. There is no change here.

"replaces / is replaced by" is the visible wording V16.1.
The part that is more interesting is the replacement of a "trace" by a "Virtual Connection". This is what I was asking about in the other thread.
