7.4 Viewing the System Instance Hierarchy in the Declarative Model
Note, a more effective way of navigating a system instance is to create an AADL instance model by instantiating a system implementation and opening it in the AADL Object Editor.  Creation and editing of AADL instance models is described in section 7.5.
The AADL Object Editor allows you to view the system instance hierarchy through the declarative AADL model. When you have a declarative AADL model open, select a system implementation in the “Outline” view as the root of your system instance of interest.  Then switch to the view   tab of the Edit pane from “Library” to “Instance” as shown in Figure 21. Typically you will want to select a component implementation that represents the top-level element of a system modeled in AADL.  The content of the selected element is shown in the edit pane. Subcomponents can be recursively expanded into the subcomponents contained in the component implementation referenced by the subcomponent.
