By combing the different Elements and Aspects, from Section 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 respectively, we introduce the Aspect Elements:
Definition: Aspect Element – An Aspect Element is an Element (Block, Terminal, or Interface Point) with one, and only one, Aspect associated.
Thus, from the Definition we have three groups of Aspect Elements:
- Aspect Blocks,
- Aspect Terminals,
- Aspect Interface Points.
An overview of the different Aspect Elements is given in Table 5. Note that Location Terminal and Location Interface Point is not used in this version.
For convenience, when we refer to a Block, Terminal, or Interface Point of a certain aspect we swap the word ‘Aspect’ for the given aspect the Block belongs to. For example, we say ‘Function Block’ instead of the general designation ‘Aspect Block’.
Every Aspect Element have an own intuition summarized in Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8.
