P8_PLIM Physical Logical Item Mapping Viewpoint

Domain Aspect Maturity
Physical Traceability & Mapping proposed

Purpose

The Physical Logical Item Mapping Viewpoint specifies the realization of the System Domain Kinds by Physical Exchange Kinds.

Applicability

The Physical Internal Exchange Viewpoint supports the “Design Definition Process” activities of the INCOSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK 2023 [§2.3.5.5] and contributes to the artifacts “System Design Description” and “Tracability Mapping”.

ConceptDocumentation
realizingSpecifies the fact that a System Domain Kind is realized by Physical Exchange Kinds.
Physical Exchange KindSpecification for any kind of physical item (energy, material, information, etc.) to be exchanged on Physical Level. This is the realization of the specification made by System Domain Kinds.
System Domain KindSpecification for any kind of conceptual item (energy, material, information, etc.) to be exchanged on Functional or Logical Level. The System Domain Kind is agnostic to any realization on Physical Level.
