Top level element for describing the current configuration of a design. Does not describe instance parameterization The design to which this configuration applies Contains the configurable information associated with a generatorChain and its generators. Note that configurable information for generators associated with components is stored in the design file. References a generatorChain. Stores configurable information for generators referenced in the chain This identifies the generator in the chain. Contains the information about the abstractors required to cross between two interfaces at with different abstractionDefs. Reference to the interconnection name or possibly an hierConnection interfaceName in a design file. List of abstractors for this interconnection Element to hold a the abstractor reference, the configuration and viewName. If multiple elements are present then the order is the order in which the abstractors should be chained together. Instance name for the abstractor Display name for the abstractor instance. String for describing this abstractor instance to users Abstractor reference The name of the active view for this abstractor instance. Contains the active view for each instance in the design The name of the active view for this instance String for describing this design configuration to users
