Requirements Management Interface    

Viewing the Requirements for a Node

Use the Navigator to see which nodes have requirements associated with them. This is useful when you are reviewing the Simulink, Stateflow, or M-file object's requirements.

The shading of a node's icon in the Navigator indicates whether or not it has associated requirements, as shown in the following table.

Table 3-1: Node Icons in the Navigator and What They Represent  

Not shaded
Simulink subsystem with no requirements

Shaded
Simulink subsystem that has requirements

Lightly shaded
Simulink subsystem belonging to a subsystem that has requirements; subsystem itself has no requirements

Not shaded
Simulink block with no requirements

Shaded
Simulink block that has requirements

Lightly shaded
Simulink block belonging to a subsystem that has requirements; block itself has no requirements

Not shaded
Stateflow chart with no requirements

Shaded
Stateflow chart that has requirements

Lightly shaded
Stateflow chart belonging to a subsystem that has requirements; chart itself has no requirements

Not shaded
Stateflow state with no requirements

Shaded (with yellow)
Stateflow state that has requirements

Lightly shaded
Stateflow state belonging to a superstate, chart, or subsystem that has requirements; state itself has no requirements

Not shaded
Stateflow transition with no requirements

Shaded (with blue)
Stateflow transition that has requirements

Lightly shaded
Stateflow transition belonging to a superstate, chart, or subsystem that has requirements; transition itself has no requirements

Not shaded
MATLAB M-file with no requirements

Shaded
MATLAB M-file that has requirements

To view the requirements for a node:

  1. Select Synchronize from the File menu in the Navigator so that the links you just made in DOORS are reflected in the Navigator.
  1. This example shows that nodes for the N block in the valve timing subsystem and the positive edge to dual edge conversion subsystem are shaded, indicating they have DOORS requirements associated with them. The nodes in the positive edge to dual edge conversion subsystem are lightly shaded, indicating they belong to a subsystem that has requirements associated with it.

  1. Select a node that has requirements associated with it. If the node contains other nodes, first click the button next to the node to expand it, and then select the specific node you want.
  1. The surrogate exported module name (Document) and object identifier (ID) appear in the right pane of the Navigator.
