Creating collaborations in composite structure diagrams

In composite structure diagrams, you can create a collaboration to describe how a set of participating elements interact to perform a specific behavior of a structured classifier by using only the roles and attributes that are required to accomplish the behavior.

Before you begin

You must have a composite structure diagram open in the Modeling perspective.
