Adding a signal component to a functional or logical structure

Note

Before you can add a signal component to a function or logical structure, the data dictionary for the signal must already exist in a Signals library in the Classification perspective.

You must have administrator privileges to work in the Classification Admin perspective.

The entire process for adding a signal component to a structure consists of the following high-level steps:

  1. In the Classification Admin perspective, create a Signals library and data dictionary in the Classification hierarchy:
    • Create a group.
    • Add a class to the group.
    • Create a Signals library for the class.
    • Create attribute dictionary definitions for the Signals library.
  2. In the My Teamcenter perspective, create a signal component and add it to the Signals library:
    • Create a signal component.
    • Add the signal component to the Signals library created previously by your Classification administrator.
  3. In the Systems Engineering perspective, add a signal component from the library to the structure:
    • Add a signal to the function or logical structure.
    • Associate the signal to an interface or connection in the structure.
