Create requirement variants

Variants allow you to create options (for example, color) and allowed values of those options (for example, red and blue) and associate them with a requirement revision. You use the Variants tab to create variant rules to filter the structure elements.

Variants in Systems Engineering work in a similar way as they do for product structures in Structure Manager.

Procedure

1. Open the Variants tab.

2. At the bottom of the tab, click the Show the legacy data tab panel button.

3. Select the lines in the structure for which you want to variant and create variant options and values.

4. Set the variant conditions on the lines in the structure where you created variant options and values.

5. Ensure the Show Unconfigured Variants button is cleared. (The button background is not white.)

6. Click the Configure Variants button to define your variants.

   Teamcenter displays only the lines in the structure that satisfy the variant conditions.

7. Click the Show Unconfigured Variants button again. (The button background is white.)

   Teamcenter displays the entire structure.
