Chapter 4 Working with a requirements model

Importing design objects as requirements

Some objects in design models (CDM, PDM, OOM, BPM, FEM, XSM, ILM) might correspond to requirements that users must satisfy during a design process.

The Requirement Import Wizard allows you to import design objects as requirements. The resulting requirements bear the same name and code as their corresponding design object. A traceability link is created between each requirement and its corresponding design object.

WARNING!

Caution
You must have a design model and a requirements model open in the workspace.

To import design objects as requirements:

In the menu bar, select Requirements→Import Design Objects as Requirements.

The Requirement Import Wizard appears.

Select the design model from which you want to import objects as requirements, and click Next.

Select the design objects you want to import as requirements, and click Next.

In the requirements model, select at what level of the requirements hierarchy you want to add the new requirements, and click Finish.

The design objects appear in the requirements model as requirements.
