Create Custom Views

Create custom viewpoints of an architecture model

System models tend to be large and complex. You can create a custom subset of components from architecture models by filtering model elements based on criteria such as stereotypes, properties, and requirement links in the Architecture Views Gallery. This custom subset is called an architecture view and is a simplified way of working with complex systems. You can use views to focus on certain parts of the architectural design and create operational, functional, or physical views for analysis.

  • Edit your System Composer™ model from the component diagram canvas.

  • Analyze component dependencies and hierarchy using spotlight views.

  • Use queries to define custom viewpoints on the architecture model.

  • Group ports in component diagram views to simplify complex networks of ports and connections.

  • Define architecture views and hierarchical views.
