SERVERS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING DESIGN ENVIRONMENT LOGIC IN MODELING SOFTWARE USING EXTERNALLY DEFINED VOCABULARY

In some embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a system for controlling links between entities in a design environment. In some embodiments, the system is configured to enable a user to define attributes for a generic entity without editing the generic entity. In some embodiments, the system is configured to store the defined attributes separately from the generic entity. In some embodiments, the system is configured to execute and association between the generic entity and the attributes to create a specific entity. In some embodiments, the system is configured to prevent connection between specific entities that do not share at least one common attribute. In some embodiments, the system is configured to automatically assign attributes to linked generic entities when at least one attribute is assigned to at least one linked generic entity.
