Template: OASIS:ProductConfiguration

This section specifies the template ProductConfiguration.

The specification comprises a SysML Block that represents the template and an associated Parametric Diagram that defines the templates and PLCS PSMTemplate objects instantiated by the ProductConfiguration template.

The specification comprises the following sections:

NOTE    An explanation of a template and its specification is provided in the Template overview

The ProductConfiguration template describes how to represent the identification of a product configuration also often referred as product family, product variants, product range, etc ...

The SysML Block Definition diagram in Figure 1 shows how a Product Configuration is represented in the PLCS PSM

Figure 1 -  Product configuration model

No templates have been explicitly defined as being related to the ProductConfiguration template.

NOTE    The ProductConfiguration template may make reference to other templates as part of the Parametric Diagram. These are not listed here.

Figure 2 shows the SysML Block that represents the template. The Block is an abstraction representing a pattern of templates and PLCS PSMTemplate objects.

The properties, i.e. the SysML Block Part, Reference and Value properties, of the template's SysML Block are described in the Template Properties section.

The output ports shown on the template's SysML Block are described in the template output ports section.

The SysML Parametric diagrams for the template Block are shown in template parametric diagram section.

The following SysML Part, Reference, and Value properties are defined for this template:

References:
context [1] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ProductConcept)
The Product Concept reference for which the configuration is defined
designs [0..*] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:VersionOrDefinitionSelect)
The collection of references to design objects
Parts:
ids [1..*] (Template: OASIS:Identification)
The collection of identifications for the Product Configuration.
The reference data used in Template: OASIS:Identification is restricted as follows:
RDL constraint 1:
The id must be classified as a or a subclass thereof.
The reference data for:
OASIS:Identification.role -> ExternalOwlClass.class
is restricted to the following class or a subclass:
names [0..*] (Template: OASIS:Name)
The collection of names for the Product Configuration
descriptions [0..*] (Template: OASIS:Descriptor)
The collection of descriptions for the Product Configuration
classifications [0..*] (Template: OASIS:Classifier)
The collection of classifications for the Product Configuration

The following output ports are defined for this template:

productConf (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ProductConfiguration)
Enables the Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ProductConfiguration instantiated by this template to be referenced when the template is used.

There are no constraints defined for this template.

This section describes the template's Parametric Diagram. The diagram details the pattern of templates and PLCS PSMTemplate objects that are required to represent the template ProductConfiguration.

The public properties, i.e. those visible in the template's SysML block (See Figure 2) are shown on the left of a Parametric Diagram.

NOTE    Restrictions on the reference data to be set on the public properties is defined in the Template Properties section.

The output ports are shown on the right of a Parametric Diagram.

PLCS PSM objects are shaded khaki and Templates are shaded light green in a Parametric Diagram.

The following blocks are instantiated by this template and bound to private parts of the template as shown in the Parametric Diagram section:

Private Part Property:configuration [1] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ProductConfiguration)
Private Part Property:desingAssociation [0..*] (Block: Ap239Ap233Psm:ItemDesignAssociation)

The following constraint, normally a uniqueness constraint, is applicable when instantiating the ItemDesignAssociation:

rule.Ap239Ap233Psm.ExternalOwlClass.ur1
Constraint: UR1
Specification: (OCL2.0)
ItemDesignAssociation::allInstances()->isUnique(Sequence{configuration, design})
Private Part Property:combNameAndDesc [1] (Constraint Block: OASIS:Name:CombineNamesAndDescriptors)

There are no instances that have been instantiated in this template.

There are no constraint blocks defined in this template.

No example data sets have been provided for this Template.
