There are various locations in the VEC model where structures / patterns are defined
and used / instantiated somewhere else (e.g. a connector with its slots and cavities).
In most cases, the elements in the definition of a structure have corresponding
elements in the instancing (e.g. ConnectorHousingSpecification →
ConnectorHousingRole, Slot → SlotReference & Cavity → CavityReference).
In cases where defined structures are instantiated, these structures shall be
instantiated completely. That means, for every element in the structural definition a
corresponding element in the instancing shall exist, regardless if it is used in the
respective VEC or not (e.g. for each Cavity of a ConnectorHousingSpecification, a
CavityReference in the corresponding ConnectorHousingRole shall exist). This applies
to the following list of structures, which is here for reasons of clarification and which is
not exhaustive:
- Connectors
- Wires
- EEComponents
- CompositeParts (e.g. Assemblies or Modules)
