EA Model Relations- Where are stored?

Our team work on a big shared model.
Now we would like to divide the shared model to smaller units:

We can't export the packages as XMLs since there are relations between the packages and elements. Each package should be exported with all its relations.

How can I find all relations of a package and an element? Do all the relations stored in t_connectors?

Agreed, XML Exports wouldn't get you all the inter-dependencies, however have you considered creating a RAS storage for such sharing. RAS, is a relatively newer concept in EA, can be effectively used if you intend to break a larger repository into smaller ones with all its interdependencies.

Going the DB way will be very difficult and hard to maintain.

Most of the relations in Enterprise Architect are stored in t_connector Some however (such as tranformed from) are stored in t_xref.

The safest and easiest way to split up a model into smaller parts is to make a complete copy of the model and delete what you don't need.
