General Concepts

Grouping of elements (Tags, Tag groups)

It is possible to use Tags for grouping elements of the model. Currently the following AMALTHEA sub models are supporting Tags:

1. Components
2. Software (SW)
3. Hardware (HW)

The corresponding model classes are storing the relevant Tags in a local list, available in:

• org.eclipse.app4mc.amalthea.model.ComponentsModel
• org.eclipse.app4mc.amalthea.model.SWModel
• org.eclipse.app4mc.amalthea.model.HWModel

The reason for doing this is that Tags used in the sub models mostly have a different technical background. It should be avoided that e.g. elements in the software model are referring to Tags from a components model.

Custom Properties

The AMALTHEA model provides Custom Properties to enhance the model in a generic way. These can be used for different kind of purpose:

• Store attributes, which are relevant for your model, but not yet available at the elements
• Processing information of algorithms can be stored in that way, e.g. to mark an element as already processed
