Explorer
Inspect the selected architecture version on an auto-layout, read-only canvas
Explorer is the fastest way to orient yourself in a project without changing the model. Open Analysis → Explorer.
Layout And Scope
Explorer loads the selected version's hierarchy and Relationships, then lays them out automatically. Switch between the available topology and packed presentations, control hierarchy depth, and refresh after model changes.
The canvas is read-only: you can pan, zoom, select, and inspect, but you cannot reposition or create model resources. Use Sketch for rapid model editing or an Architecture View for a curated saved arrangement.
Inspect Evidence
Selecting an element or Relationship opens detailed context, including relevant:
- Hierarchy and neighboring Relationships
- Workflow participation
- Behavior Model mappings
- Capability realizations
- Data Model ownership and usage
- Documentation and architecture profile evidence
Use the detail panel to move through related elements without losing the full-model context.
Traffic-Flow Simulation
Explorer can animate instances through a selected workflow. Configure instance count, spawn duration, step duration, load factor, and branch strategy to compare simplified flow scenarios.
This is a topological review aid, not a production performance or capacity model.
Choose The Right Canvas
| Surface | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Explorer | Read-only orientation and simplified traffic animation |
| Sketch | Rapid model exploration that can create Systems and Relationships |
| Architecture View | Curated, saved arrangement for review and publication |
