Creating a Project with P-Diagrams
In the Samples folder on the Windchill Risk and Reliability application server, FMEA P-Diagram Template is a special Team Project that is set up for p-diagram creation. Using the New Project Wizard to create a Project in your Enterprise database from this template saves you from having to set up the complex form that is needed.
1. Do one of the following to open the Create Project window:
◦ In the Project Navigator, click Create new Project.
◦ On the standard toolbar, click New.
◦ Select > > .
◦ For the Team Edition only, in the title bar of the Recent Files control on the Start page, click New Project.
The Create Project window opens.
2. In this window, do the following:
a. For Name, type the name that you want to assign to the new Project.
b. Select Run New Project Wizard.
c. Click OK.
The New Project Wizard starts and displays the Select Project Starting Point page.
3. Select Create from a Sample Project and click Next. The Select Project page appears so that you can select the template to use as the basis for the Project.
4. Select FMEA P-Diagram Template and click Next. The Wizard Complete page appears.
5. Click Finish to create the Project and open the System file.
6. If modules other than the
FMEA module are turned on, use the
Module Selections toolbar to turn off all but the
FMEA module. For more information, see
Module Selections Toolbar.
In the upper window, the Parameter Diagram pane is present.
7. Select this pane and see how the form it contains is set up for p-diagram construction.
8. In the FMEA Tree Items table, insert assemblies and parts to represent the functions of your system.
9. To create a p-diagram for a function, do the following:
a. In the FMEA Tree Items table, select the assembly or part representing the function. The active item in this table is shown for Name in the Parameter Diagram pane.
b. In the
Parameter Diagram pane, insert records in the various tables on the form to create the p-diagram for this function. For more information, see
P-Diagram Overview.
For any table but the Ideal Functional Outputs & Error States table, you can click < Click here to insert a new record > to insert a record. For any table, including the Ideal Functional Outputs & Error States table, you can insert a record by right-clicking on the table and selecting an Insert command. Because the Ideal Functional Outputs and Error States table is a customized FMEA Worksheet table, you use Insert commands for inserting items and modes.
• Selecting Insert Item inserts a new entry in the Function/Requirements column.
• Selecting Insert Mode inserts a new entry in the Potential Failure Mode column.
If you insert cause level fields in this customized FMEA Worksheet table, selecting Insert Cause would insert a new entry for cause level columns.
