Nested components¶
Components can be defined with any number of subcomponents. This allows for a hierarchical layout of your specification. As such, you can start with your top-level components and work your way down as more details become available.
Let's say that our ElectricalDriveMechanism
consists of a BrushlessMotor
, a battery
to power
it and a switch
to turn it on. We then have to add those component definitions and can add them as
subcomponents to the drive mechanism like so:
Tip
We only decomposed the ElectricalDriveMechanism
into three subcomponents and left the
CentrifugalPump
untouched. The component hierarchy can have an arbitrary number of levels
in each branch, allowing for entire freedom in the level of detail in each (sub-)component!
