Model Metrics & Reports

SimGe can quantify a model with metrics and produce a formatted, printable report of its full contents. Metrics drive the FOM Dashboard and the analysis reports; the model report documents every table for review or archiving.

Model metrics

Metrics fall into two groups:

  • Direct volume counters — straightforward inventory counts taken directly from the model:
  • object-class count, interaction-class count,
  • attribute count, parameter count,
  • data-type count, dimension count,
  • the OC/IC ratio (object classes ÷ interaction classes).
  • Derived architectural metrics — computed indicators over the class hierarchies (for example, hierarchy depth/breadth and complexity/architecture measures), evaluated separately for the Object Class and Interaction Class domains.

A single analysis engine computes these values once, so the dashboard cards and the reports always agree.

In a merged (composed) analysis, breakdowns may distinguish elements you declared locally from those that come from base modules, while the direct totals remain raw counts of the analyzed content.

The model report

The report renders a model's full OMT content as a formatted document using the built-in report viewer. It covers the model's tables, including:

  • object classes and interaction classes,
  • attributes and parameters,
  • dimensions, time representations, tags, transportations, update rates, switches, services, notes,
  • data types (basic representations, simple, enumerated, array, fixed-record, and variant-record).

The report opens in its own Reports workspace, where you can review it on screen, print it, or export it through the viewer's standard controls.

Generating a report

  1. Select the module you want to document.
  2. Open its Report (Reports workspace).
  3. The report builds from the module's current content; if you edit the model, regenerate to refresh it.

When to use metrics and reports

  • Use the dashboard for quick, interactive assessment while you work.
  • Use a report when you need a complete, presentable document of the model — for design reviews, archiving, or sharing with stakeholders.
  • Use both together: the dashboard points you at what to inspect; the report captures the full detail.
