Move structures within the FMEA tree

You can move structures within the FMEA tree by dragging and dropping them at the required level and reorganize the FMEA structure. When you move an object within the FMEA tree, all objects such as system elements, functions, and failures inside the structure are also moved.

Procedure

  1. Open the FMEA and make sure you are in the Tree view.

  2. Select the node that you want to move.

  3. Drag it to the required location in the FMEA tree.

The selected node along with any objects such as system elements, functions, and failures inside the structure is moved. Note You cannot move an FMEA node if there are system interfaces associated with it.
