Reuse components of one model in another model [message #1830569]

Hi all,

I am trying to reuse components form one model to another model.

For this, in the model explorer view I added my model into the second one.

It works fine.

But now I would like to use component exchange betwwen components of the two models.

When I try to use component exchange I am facing with violation of integrity of the model.

I seems to be not possible to make link between components of two model.

How can I do this ?

Hi Jean-Pierre,
Not sure what you mean when you say " in the model explorer view I added my model into the second one" but if you're interested in model reuse with capella, you should look at this webinar "Strategies and tools for model reuse with Capella ": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I28EhAXe-i8

Thank you.

In the Model Eplorer view, It's possible to add a reference from one model to another (cf. capture)

This work fine, but it's not possible to add links between this two model.

I think you should avoid using the Model Explorer view with Capella and stick to the Capella perspective which uses the Project Explorer view, in this one you can't add a model as you do.

I mean, what you are trying to do may be working, but in any case, if your goal is to do resue between Capella models, you should use REC/RPL and librarires.
