The Matrix View

The matrix view is intended to provide a simple overview of the connections of the elements within a submodel. The rows of the matrix contain elements of one type. The columns of the matrix contain elements of a second type, which can be connected to the type of elements of the rows. If a connection exists, it is displayed as a colored box in the matrix.

To insert a new connection between two elements, move the mouse pointer into the matrix cell that connects the two elements and right-click in that field. A context menu appears with which you can specify the type of connection (forwards/backwards and interpreted/interpreted not).
