Enterprise Architect component traceability

I'm trying to produce a traceability matrix such as this:

Interface Alias | Interface | From Component | To Component | Info Passed | Fn
INT.3.7         | Cord      | Solar Panel    | Battery      | Electricity | Fn1.2

How can I report these relationships? I've built a component diagram and tried using an exposed interfaces and assemblies like this:

enter image description here

The Model Report shows the information in a somewhat related fashion, but trying to customize the document template fails to produce the type of matrix I'm seeking.

Is this even possible with EA? It's my understanding that CORE by Vitech does this out of the box.

You can write a fairly simple SQL search and export the result of that search to CSV (which is a standard feature in EA).

More info on writing SQL searches and some example can be found here:

Edit As an example you can paste the following SQL into the SQL search window:

select Connector_ID, Direction, Connector_Type, t_object.Name, so.name, eo.name
from t_connector, t_object, t_object so, t_object eo
where so.object_id = Start_Object_ID and eo.object_id = End_Object_ID

and extend it to fit your needs. The result of the search can be copy/pasted.
