Submachines

Submachines manage the complexity of large statecharts by decomposition.

The original statechart is called the parent, whereas the decomposed part is called the submachine.

Creating submachines
You can create a submachine from a complex state using either the Edit menu or the menu for the state.
Opening a submachine or parent statechart
Deep transitions
A deep transition is a cross-chart transition, for example, from a parent statechart into a submachine, or vice versa. When you create a submachine, deep transitions are automatically split through substates.
