Class Generalization
A Generalization is a taxonomic relationship between a more general Classifier and a more specific Classifier. Each instance of the specific Classifier is also an instance of the general Classifier. The specific Classifier inherits the features of the more general Classifier. A Generalization is owned by the specific Classifier. <p>From package UML::Classification.</p>

Generalization()
Creates a new instance
public Generalization()
Properties
ClassInstance
Gets the Class model for this type
public static IClass ClassInstance { get; }
Property Value
General
The general classifier in the Generalization relationship. <p>From package UML::Classification.</p>
[XmlElementName("general")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public IClassifier General { get; set; }
Property Value
GeneralizationSet
Represents a set of instances of Generalization. A Generalization may appear in many GeneralizationSets. <p>From package UML::Classification.</p>
[XmlElementName("generalizationSet")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
[XmlOpposite("generalization")]
public ISetExpression<IGeneralizationSet> GeneralizationSet { get; }
Property Value
IsSubstitutable
Indicates whether the specific Classifier can be used wherever the general Classifier can be used. If true, the execution traces of the specific Classifier shall be a superset of the execution traces of the general Classifier. If false, there is no such constraint on execution traces. If unset, the modeler has not stated whether there is such a constraint or not. <p>From package UML::Classification.</p>

ReferencedElements
Gets the referenced model elements of this model element
public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }
Property Value
Specific
