AllocatedTo compartment in Activities (SysML 1.4, EA 13.5)

[Fábio Guarita]

Hi,

I want to make the AllocatedTo compartment visible in Activities to make it easier to check some allocation criteria (i.e.: Each activity shall be allocated to one and only one block).

According to SysML 1.4 spec, ISO-19514, pg148 this should be possible but I haven't been able to display such compartment. Is it implemented? If so, how can I make that information visible in acitivites within activity diagrams? (either by compartment, notes, etc....)

You need to set the Activity to rectangle notation in order to show any compartments. It's somewhere on the right-click context menu (for me, right-click > Advanced > Use Rectangle Notation).

I tried that with rectangle notation and still doesn't work. I understand that "AllocatedTo" compartment should show up in the "Feature and Compartment Visibility" dialog, specifically in the "Show Element Compartments" group of settings.

This works with blocks - the 'AllocatedFrom' compartment is selectable and visible if there is any allocation to the block which is not explicit in the current diagram. But I couldn't do the same with activities...

Has anyone succeeded trying to do this?

Hello EA Users,

I am using EA14 and have created a <allocate> relationship between block and Action. Even after changing the Action representation to rectangle notation, i am not able to enable the visibility neither for Block nor for Action. Is there anyone who could use this feature of displaying the allocate relationship in compartment>

An allocation won't be listed in a compartment if its connector is shown on the diagram because it's redundant information, so remove either the block or action from the diagram and try again (save, reload, select, Ctrl+Shift+Y).
