Template: Applicability

This section specifies the template Applicability.

The specification comprises a SysML Block that represents the template and an associated Parametric Diagram that defines the templates and PLCS PSM objects instantiated by the Applicability template.

The specification comprises the following sections:

Section Description provides a description of the template;
Section Template Block specifies the SysML Block that represents the template;
Section Template Properties specifies the properties, i.e. the Part, Reference and Value properties of the templates SysML Block;
Section Template Output Ports specifies the Output Ports of the templates SysML Block. These bind to the templates and PLCS PSM objects instantiated by the Applicability template as described in section Template Parametric Diagram;
Section Template Constraints specifies the constraints on PLCS PSM objects instantiated by the Applicability template;
Section Template Parametric Diagram specifies the templates and PLCS PSM objects instantiated by the Applicability template;
Section Instantiated blocks specifies the templates and PLCS PSM objects instantiated by the Applicability template and bound to private parts of the template;
Section Default instances species the instances that have been instantiated in the template. These are used to set the default value of blocks.
Section Constraint blocks identifies the constraint blocks that have been specified in this template;
Section Example data provides example XML data sets that have been instantiated in accordance with this template.

NOTE An explanation of a template and its specification is provided in the Template overview

Description

The Applicability template describes how to indicate that an item is applicable to another item.

The SysML Block Definition diagram in Figure 1 shows how a Product Configuration is represented in the PLCS PSM

Related Templates

No templates have been explicitly defined as being related to the Applicability template.

NOTE The Applicability template may make reference to other templates as part of the Parametric Diagram. These are not listed here.

Template Block

Figure 2 shows the SysML Block that represents the template. The Block is an abstraction representing a pattern of templates and PLCS PSM objects.

The properties, i.e. the SysML Block Part, Reference and Value properties, of the template's SysML Block are described in the Template Properties section.

The output ports shown on the template's SysML Block are described in the template output ports section.

Template Properties

The following Part, Reference, and Value properties are defined for this template:

References:

applicableTo [1] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:EffectivityAssignmentSelect)

The entity which is the target for the applicability

appliedParameters [1..*] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ConditionParameterSelect)

The entities that define the domain for the applicability

applicabilityRole [0..1] (Template: OASIS:Classifier)

The role for the applicability (i.e. variantApplicability, Range applicability, etc ...)

effectivityRole [0..1] (Template: OASIS:Classifier)

The role for the valid dates

conditionExpressionProxy [1] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ProxyItemSelect)

The logical expression operators for the applicability (i.e. AND, OR, XOR, NOT)

Values:

endEffectivityDate [0..1] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:DateTimeString)

The date to which the applicability is valid

startEffectivityDate [0..1] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:DateTimeString)

The date from which the applicability is valid

Template Output Ports

The following output ports are defined for this template:

applicabilityParameters (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ConditionParameter)

Enables the Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ConditionParameter instantiated by this template to be referenced when the template is used.

applicabilityCondition (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:Condition)

Enables the Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:Condition instantiated by this template to be referenced when the template is used.

applicability (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ConditionalEffectivity)

Enables the Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ConditionalEffectivity instantiated by this template to be referenced when the template is used.

applicabilityAssignment (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:EffectivityAssignment)

Enables the Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:EffectivityAssignment instantiated by this template to be referenced when the template is used.

Template constraints

There are no constraints defined for this template.

Template Parametric diagram

This section describes the template's Parametric Diagram. The diagram details the pattern of templates and PLCS PSM objects that are required to represent the template Applicability.

The public properties, i.e. those visible in the template's SysML block (See Figure 2) are shown on the left of a Parametric Diagram.

NOTE Restrictions on the reference data to be set on the public properties is defined in the Template Properties section.

The output ports are shown on the right of the Parametric Diagram.

PLCS PSM objects are shaded khaki and template shaded light green in a Parametric Diagram.
