  2. Click in a cell in your matrix model and click Create new connection Create connections. If several connections are possible, the Create connection dialog opens. Enable the connections you want to create, and click OK.
  3. Enable the check boxes in front of the connections you want to create. Enter an abbreviation for the relevant connection if required. You can define multiple connections between two symbol types. If multiple connections are defined between objects, this is indicated by an asterisk in the cell in the matrix model. In a matrix model, connections are created at definition level only.

You have created a connection between objects in a matrix model.
