Log on to Teamcenter

In order to access an existing Teamcenter PLM repository, you will need to

• Obtain from the system administrator a URL link to the repository, a user id and password
• Install the Teamcenter client on your local computer
• During installation, created at least one 4-Tier Server Configuration, linking a server URL to a user-selected Connection Name.
• Launch the Teamcenter client and log in with User ID, Password and Server (Connection Name). Click Login.

Create Folder

1. With the Home folder selected, go to File > New > Folder
2. Give the new folder a name. Description is optional. Click OK. New folder will appear under Home tab.
   

Create Requirement

With folder selected, go to File → New → Item.

Press Assign to automatically assign Requirement ID/Revision.

Enter a name in the remaining required field (don't enter requirement text for an individual requirement in the Description field as it will be added later) and click Finish. Close the New Item window. The Requirement Spec folder now contains the new requirement 

To add requirement text, select an item revision and then in the Summary window, click on "More Actions" at bottom right. Select Open Text 

A document will open in Word. Replace the current text with requirement text, e.g. "The UAS shall be able to carry out a search pattern autonomously". Save and close the document. The Body Cleartext field for the requirement revision should now contain the requirement text as shown.

Create Requirement Spec

A Requirement Spec is a Teamcenter element that can contain one or more Requirements. Unlike SysML, a Requirement may be contained within more than one Requirement Spec. The creation of a new Requirement Spec is very similar to creation of a new Requirement as described in Section A4.3.

1. With the requirements folder selected, go to File → New → Item. In the New Item window, select RequirementSpec, then Next.
2. Press Assign to automatically assign ID/Revision. Enter a name in the remaining required field, enter any text for requirement spec in the Description field, and click Finish.
3. Close the New Item window. The new Requirement Spec now appears in the requirements folder at the same level as the requirement(s) created previously.
4. To edit the description after Requirement Spec creation, right-click the item revision and select Check-In/Out → Check Out… After editing the Description in the Summary pane at right, check back in the same way.
