CS Entire View¶

The CS Entire View is a function that allows you to see the entire picture of a component with a hierarchical structure according to the hierarchical level you’d like to see.

Create a hierarchical structure of components¶

Nesting components¶

You can create nested components and a hierarchical structure of components in the following ways:

Click [Component] on the Tool Palette, and then click an existing Component on a Control Structure diagram.
On the Control Structure diagram, drag and drop another Component onto a Component.
On the Structure tree, drag and drop another Component onto a Component.

Creating a Control Structure diagram to describe the internal structure of a Component¶

In the following way, you can create a Control Structure Diagram under a component and describe the components in detail.

Create from the Structure Tree

Select a target component on the Structure Tree you’d like to detail and then select [Diagram]-[STAMP/STPA]-[Control Structure Diagram] in the Main Menu.

Create from a Control Structure Diagram displayed in the Diagram Editor

Right-click on a target component on a Control Structure Diagram and sekect [Create Diagram]-[Control Structure Diagram] on the Context Menu.

Create a Control Structure Diagram from a component on a Control Structure Diagram

Opening a Control Structure Diagram under a Component¶

You can open a Control Structure diagram under a Component in the Diagram Editor in the following way:

Double-click the Control Structure Diagram under the Component on the Structure Tree.
Right-click on the Component on the Control Structure diagram, and then select the target Control Structure Diagram by [Open Diagram] on the Context Menu.

Open the Control Structure diagram from the Control Structure diagram

Operating CS Entire View¶

Showing CS Entire View¶

You can show CS Entire View in the following ways:

Select [Tools]-[STAMP/STPA]-[Show CS Entire View] in the Main Menu

Right-click on the blank area on the Control Structure Diagram and select [Show CS Entire View] in the Context Menu.

Show CS Entire View from Context Menu on the Control Structure Diagram

Hint

CS Entire View can be shown side by side with the window of Astah.

Notation of the CS Entire View¶

In CS Entire View, Components are placed automatically so that the direction of links are from top to bottom, so it may look different from the actual Control Structure Diagram.

In addition, CS Entire View is based on the model, so components and links deleted on diagrams by [Delete from Diagram] are displayed in the view.

Note

To reflect the changes made on another view, close the CS Entire View once and open it again.

Operations in the CS Entire View¶

Opening subordinate components¶

Components that have components under them are shown with [+] button in the upper right corner.
Click the button to show the subordinate components in the CS Entire View.
The CS Entire View will be automatically adjusted for layout.

Closing the subordinate components¶

If the Component has subordinate component and subordinate is already displayed, the [-] button will appear in the upper right corner.
Click on this button to hide the subordinate component.
At the this time, the CS Entire View will be automatically adjusted for layout.

Moving Components¶

You can move components by dragging and dropping components you want to move in the CS Entire View,

However, moving a component in the CS Entire View is not reflected in the Control Structure Diagram or Control Loop Diagram.

Transformation of Links and Feedback Links¶

You can transform Links and Feedback Links by dragging them on the CS Entire View.

However, the transformations of Links and Feedback Links in the CS Entire View are not reflected in the Control Structure Diagram or Control Loop Diagram.

Zoom in and out on the entire CS view¶

Hold down the [Ctrl] key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

Show the entire structure¶

The view is automatically scrolled and zoomed so that the entire image is displayed in the CS Entire View.

Specify the hierarchy level¶

Depending on the specified hierarchy level, the component’s subordinates are expanded or collapsed.

Level 1¶

Displays the entire hierarchy in a closed state.

Level 2¶

Displays the hierarchical structure expanded to the second level.

Level 3¶

Displays the hierarchical structure expanded to the third level.

All Levels¶

If you have a hierarchical structure of four or more levels, all of them will be displayed in an expanded state.
