By using Modeling, you can create interactions for the detailed description and analysis of inter-process communications. Interactions can be visually represented in your Modeling projects by means of the two most common interaction diagrams: Sequence and Communication. On the other hand, interactions can exist in projects without visual representation. | |

In sequence diagrams, Modeling automatically renders the execution specification of a message that shows the period of time when the message is active. When you draw a message link to the destination lifeline, the execution specification bar is created automatically. You can extend or reduce the period of time of a message by vertically dragging the top or bottom line of the execution specification as required. It is also possible to create an execution specification on a lifeline without creating an incoming message link. In this case a found message is created, that is a message that comes from an... more | |

Interactions can be visually represented in your Modeling projects by means of the two most common interaction diagrams: Sequence and Communication. Communication Diagrams focus on the interaction between lifelines where the architecture of the internal structure and how this corresponds with the message passing is central. The sequencing of messages is given through a sequence numbering scheme. | |

Call messages are always visible in diagrams; reply messages normally are not displayed. However, you can visualize the reply message. | |

Interactions can be visually represented in your Modeling projects by means of the two most common interaction diagrams: Sequence and Communication. The most common kind of Interaction Diagram is the Sequence Diagram, which focuses on the message interchange between a number of lifelines. A Sequence Diagram describes an interaction by focusing on the sequence of messages that are exchanged. | |
