Import FMEA structures into Teamcenter
Prepare FMEA MSR files for Teamcenter import
Before you import your MSR-XML files into Teamcenter, ensure that specific tags are included in the MSR-XML files to enable successful import and proper data mapping.
The following tags are required for importing MSR-XML files into Teamcenter:
Copy
COMPANIES{XE "COMPANIES"\b}
FM-STRUCTURES{XE " FM-STRUCTURES"\b}
FM-STRUCTURE{XE "FM-STRUCTURE"\b}(FMEA Node)
FM-STRUCTURE-ROOT{XE"FM-STRUCTURE-ROOT"\b}
FM-STRUCTURE-ELEMENTS{XE"FM-STRUCTURE-ELEMENTS"\b}
FM-STRUCTURE-ELEMENT{XE"FM-STRUCTURE-ELEMENTS"\b}
FM-SE-DECOMPOSITION{XE"FM-SE-DECOMPOSITION"\b
FM-SE-FUNCTIONS{XE"FM-SE-FUNCTIONS"\b
FM-SE-CHARACTERISTICS{XE"FM-SE-CHARACTERISTICS"\b

Note
For the complete XML schema and attribute-to-object mapping details in Teamcenter, see MSR FMEA elements and attribute definitions.
You can also include additional tags in the MSR-XML file. To do that, you must update the MsrFmeaToPlmxml dataset. For more information about the MSR-XML attributes that can be included in the MSR-XML file, other than the mandatory ones, navigate to http://www.msr-wg.de/medoc/ and refer to the Downloads section.
The MsrFmeaToPlmxml dataset is the default dataset that contains the mapping file required during import. To use a different dataset, modify the Qfm0MSRToPLMXMLMappingFile preference to specify the dataset that holds the XSLT mapping file. This file transforms the MSR-XML file to PLMXML format.
