Adding component diagrams to a model

You use component diagrams to create new or existing components, specify the files and folders they contain, and define the relations between these elements.

About this task

These relations include the following items:

Component diagrams are helpful in defining and organizing the physical file hierarchy of your model. You can assign model elements to be contained in certain files, instead of using the default Rational Rhapsody designations; you can organize files into folders or into components directly and organize folders into components.

One aspect of a component that is not included in a component diagram, but is included in this section, is how to create the configurations that are part of a component. Configurations specify how the component is to be built, such as the target environment, initialization needed, and checks to perform on the model before code is generated. See Configurations for information.

The following figure shows a component diagram.
