Task: Specify Top-Level Analysis Functions
This task creates the top-level structure of a functional analysis architecture that realises the vehicle feature model
Disciplines: Core Tasks
Purpose

Generates high-level structural definition of the system which is sufficient as input for some of the subsequent design and implementation tasks.

Main Description
AnalysisLevel – Specify Top-Level Analysis Architecture - represents the vehicle electrical/electronic system in terms of its abstract functional definition. It defines the logical functionality and a logical decomposition of functionality. The top-level structure of the functional analysis architecture is created. Therefore the functional architecture consists of interacting functional blocks, whose behaviour is possibly described by a high-level executable/simulatable model.Steps:
There is an iterative refinement in the modeling technique.
Repeat until desired level of detail is reached.
Steps
Specify top-level analysis functions

Identification and naming of top-level blocks.

Indication of mandatory and optional parts.

Specify interfaces of top-level blocks to functional devices

Identification of ports, abstract signal types, and definition of connections between blocks and functional devices.

Specify interfaces between top-level functional blocks

Identification of ports, abstract signal types, and definition of connections between blocks.
