Show Structural Elements In Composite Diagram

A Composite element shows the external relationships of the element with other components of the model and, via a child diagram, its own internal structure. You cannot normally add structural (embedded) elements to the representation of this internal structure; however, this procedure describes a modified process through which you can add embedded elements to the child diagram.

Embedded elements include:
