You can automatically include and open interrelated models in the simulation run. These may be models that are linked by process interface assignments or that contain occurrence copies of objects from other models.
Models using shared control flow objects, up to recursion depth
Save settings as default or for the current session only
On the Simulation tab, activate the Status and settings bar.
Click the structural element or the Models included tab.
Enable the Models using shared control flow objects, up to recursion depth option and specify the recursion depth up to which models are to be included. You can use the arrow keys to select the level, or directly enter a value.
If you enter 1, for example, all models that access occurrence copies of functions, events, or rules included in the model selected for the simulation run will be included.
Click OK if you use ARIS > Options for configuration purposes.
Depending on whether you want to save the settings temporarily or permanently click Apply (single session) or Set as default, if you are using the Status and settings bar.
In the next simulation run, models using shared events, functions/activities, or rules/gateways will be included in the simulation and open.
Models using shared resources, up to recursion depth
Click the structural element or the Models included tab.
Enable the Models using shared resources, up to recursion depth option and specify the recursion depth up to which models are to be included. You can use the arrow keys to select the level, or directly enter a value.
If you enter 1, for example, all models that access occurrence copies of resources which are included in the model selected for the simulation run will be included.
Click OK if you use ARIS > Options for configuration purposes.
Depending on whether you want to save the settings temporarily or permanently click Apply (single session) or Set as default, if you are using the Status and settings bar.
In the next simulation run, models using shared human resources, technical resources, or capacity resources will be included in the simulation and open.
Assigned processes up to a specified assignment level
Click the structural element or the Models included tab.
Enable the Assigned processes, up to assignment level option and specify the assignment level up to which models are to be included. You can use the arrow keys to select the level, or directly enter a value.
For example, if you enter 1, all models that are directly assigned to functions of the selected models are included. Models assigned to functions of the assigned models are not included. These models are included if you specify 2 as the assignment level.
Click OK if you use ARIS > Options for configuration purposes.
Depending on whether you want to save the settings temporarily or permanently click Apply (single session) or Set as default, if you are using the Status and settings bar.
In the next simulation run, models that are linked to the selected models via object assignments will be included in the simulation and open.
To include additional assigned models in the simulation, select the models for simulation explicitly on the Explorer tab.
