At this point, designers know thatthey should use these componentsfor enabling the technical functions
Discussion:
How to help them find out about the multiplicity andrelations between these components?

DiscussionHow to help them find out about the multiplicity andrelations between these components?
Potential answer:
Rules of bond graph show strong potentials on establishing therelations between components
Modelica contains a bond graph modeling module which couldmake translations from SysML to BondGraphs easier (M2M transformation)
What about the multiplicity?
