System element types with inconsistent functions

Explanation:

A search will be performed for instances of system element types with inconsistent functions. The order of the functions is not important

Note:

  • Types are IQ-objects that are recorded in Catalogs and carry information that is the same for all instances of the type
  • Instances of IQ-objects are created when IQ-objects are selected from the Catalogs and reused elsewhere in the IQ-Software

Example:

052-SE

  • This structure consists of five structure elements, the root element and four further structure elements. With the Display option “Instance count” active, it is possible to see that the four structure elements consist of two system elements, namely SE1 and SE2. Each of these elements have two functions (function) assigned.
  • This Quality Rule identifies any instance of a structure element, whereby their anchored functions are not the same. From the structure above, it is possible to see that the two instances of structure element SE2 have different functions.
  • SE1 is not a hit as the order of the anchored functions in the list is not important for this Quality Rule.

This example will deliver 2 hits: both instances of SE2.
