Full quote The port types have an additional flow property that is not in the nested ports. These are for the flow of the engine, as opposed to its parts. Next snippet Constraints can be added between the flow properties for the engine and those for the parts, to indicate the flowing parts are inside the flowing engine, or are separate, for example as spare parts. Related snippets Connectors with item flows can be decomposed by association blocks that have additional item flows. The relationship between an item flow and those in the association block is determined by the modeler. Related snippets (backlinks) Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
