Hello Aris architects,

I'm creating models in the ArchiMate language (v 3.1) and I am unable to create a specialisation relation between two elements of the same type, i.e. between two application components. Perhaps I want to create relations that are not supported by Aris?

My question is, can someone help me and point me to a reference document which shows all possible ArchiMate relationships supported by Aris version 10.0.12.

Thanks in advance,

A specialization connection between two Application Components is indeed supported by ARIS 10.0 SR12 in ArchiMate 3.x models. Here is how this looks in ARIS Architect:

Perhaps you are using a filter that does not include this connection type in ArchiMate 3.x models?

Regarding a reference document for the supported connection types, this would be the ArchiMate 3.1 specification. The connection types that can be found in the sections B.5 and B.6 are supposed to be supported by ARIS.
