Defining the Exchanges

The physical block diagram reflects the connections ( Links ) between our system and the externals. It does not show the exchanges ( Items ) transferred across those connections. The Internal Block Diagram from SysML includes that information as well. 1. If you viewed the physical block diagram in the project explorer, click the “Flow Internal Block” tab 2. If you opened the physical block diagram as a separate window, click on the diagram background and select Flow Internal Block from the Views ribbon The diagram reflects the composition and connection we previously defined. Adjust the layout, as desired.
