• Key Concepts: 
  A Block Definition Diagram (BDD) is a graphical representation of the components and their relationships in an embedded system. It is used in the SAP PLM-ESD Embedded Systems Development component to define the structure of a system and its components. The BDD is used to define the components, their relationships, and the data flow between them. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The BDD is used to define the structure of an embedded system. It is composed of blocks, which represent components, and arrows, which represent the data flow between them. The blocks can be connected to each other to form a hierarchical structure. The arrows indicate the direction of data flow between the blocks. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a BDD, it is important to keep in mind that the arrows should always point from the source block to the destination block. This will ensure that data flows correctly between the blocks. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all blocks are connected correctly so that data can flow between them. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The BDD is used in conjunction with other tools such as State Diagrams and Data Flow Diagrams to create a complete picture of an embedded system. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with other SAP PLM-ESD components such as Configuration Management and Requirements Management.
