Error description

• Abstract:
  Dependencies from Autosar to SysML model elements cannot be
  created.
  
  Error Description:
  Customer is trying to create links from an Austosarcomponent to
  a sysml block in the component diagram. The Drawing Toolbar does
  not offer to draw dependencies (the only linking/connecting
  elements offered are AssemblySwConnector, DelegationSwConnector,
  portType and trace).
  
  The attached example
  (?Linking_Autosar_to_SysML_with_Rhapsody_8.1.2.zip?)
  ? focuses on linking (?dependency? type)
  o from a Software Architecture elements modeled in Autosar
  o to  System Architecture elements modeled in SysML
  ? consists of two projects; SysML_System_Architecture and
  Autosar_Software_Architecture (which includes a reference to the
  content of SysML_System_Architecture)
  ? is made with Rhapsody 8.1.2
  
  Using Rhapsody 8.1.2, it is not possible
  ? to create these links
  ? to let these links be graphically displayed diagrams
  in a straightforward way. It is possible by using some
  workarounds, which are described in the following.
  Step 1 Linking Autosar Components to SysML Blocks
  In a Software Components Diagram, the Autosar Components and
  SysML Blocks (and/or their instances; i.e. Parts) are  added.
  In the browser, select ?anAutosarComponent? and choose the
  context menu item ?Add new / Relations / Dependency?. In the
  ?Add Dependency? dialog, choose ???Select??? and select
  ?aSysMLblock? or ?aSysMLpart?. The dependencies will be created
  and displayed in the browser.
  
  
  Step 2: Displaying the component/block dependencies in a diagram
  
  The Drawing Toolbar does not offer to draw dependencies (the
  only linking/connecting elements offered are
  AssemblySwConnector, DelegationSwConnector, portType and trace).
  But the dependencies created in the previous  step can now be
  displayed in the diagram using the populate function.
  
  Step 3: Linking Autosar Ports to SysML Flow Ports
  When invoked for an Autosar Port, the ?Add Dependency? dialog
  will not show SysML FlowPorts.
  But it does, when invoked for a Autosar Component! This allows
  us the following workaround:
  ? create a dependency link from an Autosar Component to the
  SysML FlowPort and then
  
  ? move (drag?drop or cut?paste) the dependency from the Autosar
  Component to the Autosar Port.
  
  
  Step 4: Displaying the component/block dependencies in a diagram
  
  The Drawing Toolbar does not offer to draw dependencies (the
  only linking/connecting elements offered are
  AssemblySwConnector, DelegationSwConnector, portType and trace).
  But the dependencies created in the previous  step can now be
  displayed in the diagram using the populate function.
  
  
  Local Fix:
  Adding the dependencies from the browser and then displaying it
  using the populate function.
