function which is activated and it is currenlty executing.
Let C be a structuralElement with function F and G a "Gain of function execution" F. G is an event which brings about a situation GS where the function F can be manifested or F is executable. Note that the situation GS is the cause of F being executable. GS can be further used to specify which objects states are the cause of F being executable: - C was brought into a state where F can be executed - Sufficient requirements and conditions of other components and the environment for the execution of F are met.
Let C be a structuralElement with function F and L be a "loss of function execution" F. L is an event which brings about a situation LS where the function F cannot be manifested or F is not executable. Note that the situation LS is the cause of F not being executable. LS can be further used to specify which objects states are the cause of F not being executable: - C was brought into a state where it cannot execute of F - Sufficient requirements and conditions of other components and the environment for the execution of F are not met
Also called effect.
