Create From and To Relations

Explanation

This activity is used to create From and To Relations at either end of a linear design object such as a cable or a pipe. For example, for a pipe, the From relation could be a pump and the To relation could be a tank. When these connections are defined for linear objects, they create alternate ways to navigate the plant structure and find equipment and information. These From/To relations serve as additional plant documentation by creating a navigable mini-system (e.g., pump-pipe-tank).

Prerequisites

• The class of the linear object for which from and to relations are being defined, should have classes defined for the Can have arriving at and Can have leaving from Class Relations.

System Effects

From and To Relations are established.
