Module 3 - Internal block diagram

Question 1

purpose of an IBD ?

Answer 1

1. show the connections among the structural features of a block
2. Can also display item flows

what does an item flow represent ?

Answer 2

represent some type of object , matter , energy or data that flows in a connector in a direction

Question 3

what do interfaces represent ?

An interface defines a set a ________features ( operations / receptions) that are required in the boundary

Answer 3

behavioral

remember an operation and reception are further defined in an interface block

Question 4

a rectangle with solid borders in an IBD represents

part property ( typed by a block)

Question 5

a rectangle with dashed borders in an IBD represents

Answer 5

reference property ( typed by block or actor)

how many part properties does Communication and data handling subsystem own ?

Answer 6

7

Question 7

syntax for structural features unique to IBD , what is the multiplicity of this demod part property

Answer 7

1

Question 8

what does backUpComputer represent ?

Answer 8

a part property is a role played and constrained by either 1…2 instances of Flight computer internal to the owning block when built

FlightComputer is a block

Question 9

what can this reference property eps by typed by ?

Answer 9

block or actor can type a reference property eps

Question 10

‘wheels’ is a element of definition or usage

Answer 10

Wheels is a part property which are elements of usages

Question 11

a solid line connecting two elements of usage in an IBD is called a

Answer 11

connector

Question 12

what is a connector ?

Answer 12

relationship between structural features.

a connector is an element of usage , a connector is not a relationship .

Question 13

IBD can show a element of usage or element of definition ?

Answer 13

element of usage. which is a role played by instances of type …
role : type

Question 14

difference between connector and association ?

Answer 14

association is an element of definition
connector is an element of usage

power cable is a reference association
bcPower is a

Question 15

a connector (element of usage) must be typed by an

Answer 15

association ( element of definition )

Question 16

True or False

Connectors must be typed

Answer 16

False it doesn’t have to be typed

Question 17

connector is to association as part property is to

Answer 17

block

Question 18

two defined categories of connectors are
1. dellegation connectors
2. ___________________

Answer 18

assembly connectors

- both appear as solid lines in the IBD

Question 19

what is HeavyWater ?

Answer 19

Heavy water is an association

Question 20

This shows a assembly connector because

Answer 20

peer to peer rectangles connectors that are external connectors

Question 21

This shows a delegation connector because

Answer 21

internal connector peer to peer

Question 22

an assembly connector is typed by a _____________association

Answer 22

reference

Question 23

a delegation connector is typed by a ______________ association

Answer 23

composite
whole — part relationship

Question 24

what is PrimaryCoolant

Answer 24

connector

Question 25

what is ReactorCore ?

Answer 25

block

Question 26

what are the names of the two connectors

Answer 26

pcPower and bcPower

Question 27

two kinds of ports will you see in the OCSMP exam

Answer 27

flow ports standard ports

Question 28

language requirement - A connector does not require a port at the end

Answer 28

don't add ports just to add them to the block . each port represent distinct connection points. before you do that you must know what make two ports compatible to connect them

Question 29

two criteria for ports to be compatible 1. consistent in direction 2. consistent in ________

Answer 29

type

Question 30

assembly connector - ports have to have the same direction

Answer 30

provides is in the same side as provides port

Question 31

why is this port compatible ?

Answer 31

if one port requires an interface the other port must also require that interface as well | - consistent in type (power generation) , the interfaces that are assign

Question 32

how many behavioral features is this block ? showing ?

Answer 32

1 operation and 1 reception

Question 33

two types of flow ports ?

Answer 33

atomic and non atomic

Question 34

a single instance flows between a port .. is what type of flow port

Answer 34

atomic

Question 35

atomic flow ports can be typed 1. block 2. value type 3__________

Answer 35

signal

Question 36

when there are multiple types of data ( data packet) that can cross a boundary can be

Answer 36

non atomic flow

Question 37

a non atomic flow port has to be typed by

Answer 37

flow specification

Question 38

atomic ports must have ports with opposite directions for a _______________ connector

Answer 38

assembly connector

Question 39

atomic ports must have ports with same directions / same type Delegation connector or assembly connector ?

Answer 39

delegation connector

Question 40

# True or False For non atomic flow ports with delegation connection can both be conjugated or neither .. the pair of ports must be consistent in type and consistent in direction

Answer 40

True

Question 41

# for a delegation connector do you want the directions to be the same or opposite ?

Answer 41

same

Question 42

# For a assembly connector do you want the directions to be the same or opposite ?

Answer 42

opposite

Question 43

Flow types can be typed by 1. block 2. signal 3. ?

Answer 43

value type ## Footnote this picture shows the item flow typed by a block

Question 44

# IBD recap a flow type of object that **could **flow in the connector . An IBD is a structural diaram not a behavior | adding an item flow to a connector is **optional** to do in the model

Answer 44

IBD doesnt convey order that things that flow.

Question 45

limitations of dot notations | dot notations convey system hierachy

Answer 45

lost of model structure | the sensor payload part property does not contain x-axisSS ## Footnote the information of the location of x-axisSS is lost in the diagram.
