For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Model Names | Enter the model name(s) of one or more templates. Although specifying a single template will work, it is more useful to specify multiple templates that contain communicator variables that transfer information between the templates. Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes. |
Minor Roles | Enter a minor role for each template you specified in the Model Names text box. For example, if you specified two template names, enter two minor roles in this text box. If a communicator has a minor role of inherit, when you create a subsystem from the template, the communicator will inherit the subsystem's minor role. Since when you test a template's communicators, the template’s minor role is still undefined, entering minor roles in the Minor Role field provides these communicators with their intended minor role. In Adams Car for example, if you assign the template susp_02, a minor role of “front” in the Minor Roles field, the communicator test also changes the minor role of any communicators in susp_02 whose minor role is “inherit” to the role of “front.” |
