The FMEA Structure Content View

In the structure content view you can get an overview of the contents (child objects) of the selected system or process element. 

Furthermore, you can create and edit new actions, system- / process elements, functions and malfunctions here. You can also add tasks (tasks are converted into FMEA measures here) and safety goals. In the header of this view you will find the following functions:

  • Hide / show prevention actions

  • Hide / show detection actions

  • Hide / show service actions

  • Hide / show operation actions

  • Hide / show construction action

  • Hide / show tasks

  • Hide / show safety goals

  • Hide / show malfunctions

  • Hide / show functions

  • Collapse all - hides all layers except for the root element. You can also use the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Numpad_Divide.

  • Link with editor - if this option is activated, the structure view will be linked with the FMEA editor. If you then select an element in the structure view, this element will automatically be selected in the FMEA editor as well. The same happens if you select an element in the FMEA view.

In order to delete a ratings catalog, select the respective catalog in the drop-down list and then click on Delete. Please bear in mind that there has to be always at least one rating catalog.
