The complex conflict Replacement in source model is based on the fact that there are pairs of group conflicts occurring close to each other in the model, behaving inversely. Here, 'close' means that the two involved group conflicts adjoin the same items not involved in the group conflict. These items are called border items. If several conflict groups with the same border items exist, a replacement in the source model probably took place. The graphic illustrates such a conflict. The group consisting of one item, which consists only of the connection from F1 to F2 was deleted in the source model. The complex conflict consists of group conflicts. The conflict is highlighted in red.
Depending on the decision, the graphic displays the resulting models after conflict resolution.
Please note that one of the conflict groups involved has only a single conflict: the connection from F1 to F2 marked as deleted in source model. Such a group would usually not be displayed as a group conflict, but in this example, it serves as a basis for identifying this type of replacement conflict in the example. Both conflict groups are hierarchically categorized as subordinate conflicts below the replacement conflict. Each group has subordinate simple conflicts.
