The notation of an item flow is a black arrowhead on the connector or association. The arrowhead is towards the target element. Next snippet For an item flow with an item property, the label shows the name and type of the item property (in name: type format). Otherwise the item flow is labeled with the name of the classifier of the conveyed items. Related snippets An ItemFlow describes the flow of items across a connector or an association. It may constrain the item exchange between blocks, block usages, or ports as specified by their flow properties. Related snippets (backlinks) For an item flow with an item property, the label shows the name and type of the item property (in name: type format). Otherwise the item flow is labeled with the name of the classifier of the conveyed items. When several item flows having the same direction are represented, only one triangle is shown, and the list of item flows, separated by a comma is presented. Item flows specify the things that flow between blocks and/or parts and across associations or connectors. Whereas flow properties specify what “can” flow in or out of a block, item flows specify what “does” flow between blocks and/or parts in a particular usage context. This important distinction enables blocks to be interconnected in different ways depending on its usage context. For example, tanks might include a flow property that can accept fluid as an input. In a particular use of tanks, “gasoline” flows across a connector into a tank, and in another use of tanks, “water” flows across a connector into a tank. The item flow in each case specifies what “does” flow on the connector in the particular usage (e.g., gas, water) and the flow property specifies what can flow (e.g., fluid). This enables type matching between the item flows and between flow properties... Visit also Visit also (backlinks) Flags
