FE Absorb Examples

Expected behavior for NSM absorption dependent on the initial situation and the absorption options set.

Default Options During Absorption are "NSM on Property" and "if not possible on Elements"

This example includes four scenarios.
  1. NSM defined on Property - the elements referencing the listed properties can be described by complete components. This is always the case if the properties are exclusively assigned indirectly via the components. In rare cases this also works for direct property assignment.
    • Connector can be created exclusively with components as links.
    • Connector is marked as on property or on elements.
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Property.
  2. NSM defined on Property - the elements referencing the listed properties cannot be described by complete components because of direct property assignment on some elements.
    • Connector can only be created as a mixture of component and element links.
    • Connector is marked as on property or on elements.
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Property.
  3. NSM defined on Elements - listed elements can be described by complete components.
    • Connector can be created exclusively with components as links.
    • Connector is marked as on property or on elements.
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Property or on Elements. (On Property only if the properties referenced by the linked components are not referenced from somewhere else, for example, not linked components.).
  4. NSM defined on Elements - listed elements cannot be described by complete components.
    • Connector can only be created as a mixture of component and element links.
    • Connector is marked as on property or on elements.
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Property or on Elements. (On Property only if the properties referenced by the linked elements are not referenced from somewhere else, for example, not linked components.).

Option During Absorption "NSM on Property" and "if not possible fail connector"

This example includes four scenarios.
  1. NSM defined on Property - the elements referencing the listed properties can be described by complete components. This is always the case if the properties are exclusively assigned indirectly via the components. In rare cases this also works for direct property assignment.
    • Connector can be created with exclusively components as links.
    • Connector is marked as "on property or fail connector".
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Property.
  2. NSM defined on Property - the elements referencing to the listed properties cannot be described by complete components because of direct property assignment on some elements.
    • Connector can only be created as a mixture of component and element links.
    • Connector is marked as "on property or fail connector".
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Property.
  3. NSM defined on Elements - listed elements can be described by complete components.
    • Connector can be created exclusively with components as links.
    • Connector is marked as "on property or fail connector".
    • Connector is green or red (green only if the properties referenced by the linked components are not referenced from somewhere else, for example, not linked components.).
    • Re-realization as NSM defined on Property. Successful only if the properties referenced by the linked components are not referenced from somewhere else, for example, not linked components.
  4. NSM defined on Elements - listed elements cannot be described by complete components.
    • Connector can only be created as a mixture of component and element links.
    • Connector is marked as "on property or fail connector".
    • Connector is green or red (green only if the properties referenced by the linked elements are not referenced from somewhere else, for example, not linked components.).
    • Re-realization as NSM defined on Property. Successful only if the properties referenced by the linked elements are not referenced from somewhere else, for example, not linked components.

Option During Absorption "NSM on Elements"

This example has four scenarios.
  1. NSM defined on Property - the elements referencing the listed properties can be described by complete components. This is always the case if the properties are exclusively assigned indirectly via the components. In rare cases this works for direct property assignment as well.
    • Connector can be created exclusively with components as links.
    • Connector is marked as "on Elements".
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Elements.
  2. NSM defined on Property - the elements referencing the listed properties cannot be described by complete components because of direct property assignment on some elements.
    • Connector can only be created as a mixture of component and element links.
    • Connector is marked as "on Elements".
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Elements.
  3. NSM defined on Elements - listed elements can be described by complete components.
    • Connector can be created exclusively with components as links.
    • Connector is marked as "on Elements".
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Elements.
  4. NSM defined on Elements - listed elements cannot be described by complete components.
    • Connector can only be created as a mixture of component and element links.
    • Connector is marked as "on Elements".
    • Connector is green.
    • Successful re-realization as NSM defined on Elements.
