Dependency Editing

Note: Understanding dependency types is critical to successfully editing a complex dependency.

Note: Dependencies involving phases are not recommended.  Unexpected simulation results can occur.

To edit a dependency already in place between two elements:

  1. Select the dependency line
  2. Open the detail view to show the dependency details
  3. From within the Dependency detail, select the Edit... button

The Concurrent Dependency Editor window will display:

Change the shape of a dependency

All actions take place in the Concurrent Dependency Editor dialog

  1. Click and hold the black square at the midpoint of the line
  2. Drag the line along a path from the upper left to the lower right. You will see the line snap to one of five positions (see dependency types for definitions).
  3. Release the mouse when you have the desired dependency.

Add a Stage to a Dependency

All actions take place in the Concurrent Dependency Editor dialog

Note: At least one Milestone must be defined to create a stage

1. Select the Add Stage button

2. Select the Milestone crossing to define the stage (note that a tooltip will display the names of the Milestone crossing)

3. Note the new stage created

Delete a Dependency Stage

All actions take place in the Concurrent Dependency Editor dialog

  1. Select the Delete Stage button
  2. Move the mouse into the Dependency sketch area.  Hovering over a valid stage will cause the cursor to change and a red outline to display around the stage.
  3. Select the stage with a mouse click to delete it
