Bundled Flow

Purpose: The Bundled Flow allows you to represent, at a high level, the material flows between processes in your model. Like the Process Frame, the Bundled Flow facilitates a "top-down" approach to model construction. It also provides navigational capabilities for finding sector to sector flows on the Map/Model level when "Link High-Level Map to Model" is checked in the Interface Prefs.

Selection and Placement:

Method 1:

Method 2:

When "Link High-Level Map to Model" is checked in the Interface Prefs dialog:

 

Surface Operations: Figure 4-6 details surface operations which may be performed on a Bundled Flow.

Notes:

Dialog Operations: When you open a Bundled Flow, you'll enter its associated dialog. As shown in Figure 4-7, the Bundled Flow lists sector-to-sector flows on the Map/Model level, and provides a mechanism for navigating to those flows.
