Editor for Impact Analysis Diagrams

Purpose

Impact analysis diagrams display the interconnection of a model element through its relationships with other model elements using analysis graphs.

You can configure how analysis graphs should appear. You can use the configuration content to specify which elements are used in the graph and whether they should be displayed as nodes or edges for simplicity. You can use the configuration of how elements are displayed in analysis graphs to set whether icons should be shown and whether and how properties should be shown. You can select the respective current configuration using the Impact Analysis tab and in the impact analysis Properties tool window. As well as the commands in the context menu for the diagram elements, you can also use the Impact Analysis Content and Impact Analysis Display tool windows for configuration modification.

The impact analysis diagram is an Innovator-specific diagram type.

Graph Area

You can select nodes or edges in graphs. The selection is adopted for Impact Analysis Content the and Impact Analysis Display tool windows.

You can show and hide an area that shows the diagram content as a (grouped) list using the View>Document Views>Diagram Content toggle command. Selecting something in the list selects the corresponding node or edge in the graph.

The path is shown as the tool tip for the nodes and edges. Each element in the path is shown with the icon, name and namespace name.

Specific Context Menu Commands in the Graph Area

General

Start analysis with selected element

Restart the impact analysis with the element selected in the graph.
Add to end elements

The selected element is added to the end elements.
Set as end element

The selected element is set as the end element and replaces the previously selected end elements.
Shortest Path
- Select Target
  
  Set the selected node as start node for the shortest path. Then select a node to show the shortest path to this node.
- Remove
  
  Turn off the shortest path.
Result Region
- Add Selection
  
  Add selected elements to the result region.
- Add all graph nodes
  
  All nodes of the graph are added to the result region.
- Add all graph edges
  
  All edges of the graph are added to the result region.
- Add all source nodes to the selection
  
  All source nodes of incoming relationships of the selected nodes are added to the result region.
- Add all target nodes to the selection
  
  All target nodes of outgoing relationships of the selected nodes are added to the result region.
- Add All Nodes From the Shortest Path
  
  All nodes from the shortest path are added to the result region.
