About FMEA Templates

An FMEA template defines the type of failure modes and effects analysis to be performed. In Failure Modes & Effects Analysis, you can, for example, create a template for an FMEA Design or FMEA Process analysis.

Templates

A template is only defined by a Leader. Its definition is based on the JSON syntax and it can contain module calls. For more information, see FMEA Templates.

A template defines which columns are displayed in an FMEA table and what content is proposed and valid for any given cell in the FMEA table.

A template is applied at the FMEA table creation. A template selection is only possible, if at least two templates exist. If no template is created, a default template is used. If one template is created, it is automatically applied.

The current template can be replaced by another template, if the FMEA table is opened and completely empty.

A template supports all the features of a PLM reference including its revising, ownership, and lifecycle.

Modules

If specific services are required, template files can contain module calls. For more information, see FMEA Templates.

A module is an external JavaScript code, which corresponds to an algorithm. The purpose of an algorithm is to provide a service, such as initializing tables or applying formulas. For more information, see About Advanced Customization of FMEA Tables.

You can configure a URL indicating the root location of a module called by a template. For more information, see Configuring RAMS and APQP Core Tools in Installation and Setup: 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Administration: 3DSpace: Collaborative Spaces Control Center.
