Get Incoming and Outgoing Links for Referenced Requirements

Open Live Script

This example shows how to get incoming and outgoing links for referenced requirements.

Open the MyAdd2 project. Load the myAddReqs and myAddTestSpecification requirement sets.

openProject("MyAdd2");
rs1 = slreq.load("myAddTestSpecification");
rs2 = slreq.load("myAddReqs");

In the MyAdd2 requirement set, find the referenced requirement with index 1.1.

ref = find(rs1,Index="1.1");

In the myAddReqs requirement set, find the requirement with index 4.

req = find(rs2,Index="4");

Create a link from the referenced requirement to the requirement. Set the link type to Refine.

myLink = slreq.createLink(ref,req);
myLink.Type = "Refine";

Get the incoming links for the referenced requirement.

myInLinks = inLinks(ref);

Get the outgoing links for the referenced requirement.

myOutLinks = outLinks(ref);

Tips

To get the outgoing links for a requirement, use slreq.Requirement.outLinks. To get the outgoing links for a justification, use slreq.Justification.outLinks.
