IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® enables
you to partially animate a model, to test selected elements without
having to animate the entire project. This feature also enables you
to animate projects that contain non-animated components.
All elements in the model are generated and built,
but only the animated elements are displayed in the animation environment
during run time. Animated and nonanimated elements, as shown in the
following list, are able to pass instances and events to one another,
but only animated events can be generated using the animation environment.
- Package
- Class (including nested classes)
- Statechart
- Activity diagram
- Relation
- Attribute
- Actor
- Operation
- Event
Note: Partial animation also applies to trace operations.
