Selecting a Function or an Operation

You can edit a causality relationship, which is a row in an FMEA table.

To complete a causality relationship, you must select a function for a Design FMEA or an operation for a Process FMEA.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Create a causality relationship.

Select a Function

You can select a function for a Design FMEA.

Select the function cell or click in the lower right of the cell.
A list displays the functions implemented by the component under analysis.
Select a function.

Tip: You can also drag a function from the Structure Tree or any compliant source.

Note: These functions can only be created by architecture authoring apps (Functional & Logical Design, Electrical & Electronics Architecture, ...).

The function appears in a tile in the cell.

You can now define the failure mode, which affects the selected function.

You can select an operation for a Process FMEA.

Select the operation cell or click in the lower right of the cell.
A list displays a hierarchy of workstations and operations.
Select an operation.

Tip: You can also drag an operation from the Structure Tree or any compliant source.

Note: These operations can only be created by the corresponding authoring apps.

The operation appears in a tile in the cell.

You can now define the failure mode, which affects the selected operation.
