It is possible to have elements repeated in a schema tree structure, but the same element cannot exist at the same level. For example, Element1 cannot have two subelements named Element4 at the same sublevel. However, Element4 is allowed at different levels in the tree structure. When working with large models where an element may be used dozens of times, the model may become difficult to manage and navigate.
A model with repeating elements is automatically condensed. When an element has a substructure, this fact is notated by displaying a slash and an asterisk /* in the lower right corner of the element symbol.
Note An element can be decomposed fully in only one place.
To view the element substructure
Do one of the following:
▪Right click a symbol with the /* notation, and then click Find Sub-Tree.
▪Select the symbol, and then click Edit > Find Sub-Tree.
