Using sysml 1.6
In an IBD diagram, can I connect one port to multiple ports (*1)
(i.e., with two connectors coming out the same port)
?
E.g., I have an IBD diagram with 3 parts: A, B, and C; and each part has a port p. So we have: A.p, B.p and C.p.
Can I legally connect A.p to both B.p and C.p?
I.e., two connectors coming out of the port A.p.
(Just because my SysML platform (EA) allows it, does not mean it is legal…)
(To compare with an activity diagram: you cannot legally have two objects flows coming out of a single pin. You have to add a fork element to create the multiple parallel object flow.)
This seems to be a basic ABC thing that must have been asked a 1000 times, but I can’t find it.
Thanks
Edit
Note *1: “Can I connect one port to multiple ports”
i.e., one O/P port outputs the same data item to multiple I/P ports.
