Edit Section

The Edit section provides commands for editing.

This page discusses:



Manage Fallible References
Opens the Fallible Reference Editor.
Create fallible references and add failure modes.
See Creating Fallible References.
Note: This command is also available from the home page.


Create Causality Relationship
Adds one row in the selected FMEA table to create a causality relationship.


Create Analysis
Creates an FMEA table analysis.
In the structure tree,
  • If an element is selected, an FMEA table is associated with this element.
  • If no element is selected, an FMEA reference table is created.
See Associating FMEAs with a System.
Note: This command is also available from the home page for the creation of reference tables.


Load/Unload Analysis
Loads or unloads the FMEA, which is selected in the structure tree.
See Associating FMEAs with a System.


Save
Saves the content of the FMEA.
This command is only available if the Enable autosave option is deactivated.


Delete
Deletes the selected element from the PLM database.
Select an FMEA from the Structure Tree, a causality relationship by selecting its line at the left, a fallible reference or a failure mode in the Fallible Reference Editor, or an element in a line such as a failure mode.


Add/Edit Characterization
See Flyout for Managing Characterizations.


Select Template
Associates the selected an FMEA template with the analysis.
Select an FMEA template to replace the current one.
See Replacing an FMEA Template.


Properties
Displays the properties of the selected element if it is stored in the database.


Refresh Computed Attributes
Refresh computed attributes for the selected lines or the whole table.
To use this command, the template associated with the table must enable a manual refresh of the computed attributes.
See Refreshing Computed Attributes.


Generate Failure Modes
Generates failure modes from a template and associates them with implemented functions without failure modes.
Note: To use this command, the template associated with the table must contain a list of failure modes.
See Creating FMEA Analyses.


Display Calculated Effects: One Level
See Flyout for Displaying Calculated Effects.


Filter Ambiguity Group
Filters a group of ambiguities.
Select a failure mode. Its group of ambiguities is filtered.
Note: To use this command, the template associated with the FMEA table must contain symptoms.
See Filtering Causality Relationships.


Hide or Show Columns
Customizes the current FMEA view.
Note: This command does not modify the template associated with the table.
See Showing or Hiding Table Columns.
Reroute to Another Revision
Reroutes the FMEAs, associated with a system to be analyzed, to a revised system.
See Rerouting FMEAs.
Edit Mode
Switches between view and edit modes.
By default, the edit mode is activated.
See Customizing Preferences.
Compare Revisions
Compares two revisions of an FMEA table.
Open a revision of an FMEA table, then select another revision of this FMEA table, in the same branch or in another branch.
See Comparing FMEA Tables.

Flyout for Managing Characterizations



Add/Edit Characterization
Adds or edits a characterization in the selected tile.
Note: To use this command, the template associated with the table must enable the characterization of elements.
See Add or Edit Characterizations.


Delete Characterization
Deletes the selected characterization.
Note: To use this command, the template associated with the table must enable the characterization of elements.
See Delete Characterizations.

Flyout for Displaying Calculated Effects

Hide Calculated Effects
Hides the calculated effects when completing a causality relationship.
See Displaying Computed Effects.


Display Calculated Effects: One Level
Displays the effects of the first sublevel only.
See Displaying Computed Effects.


Display Calculated Effects: All Levels
Displays the effects of all the sublevels.
See Displaying Computed Effects.
