Logical modeling

Logical modeling allows users to capture a physical product alternative that addresses the functions. Allocating functions to logical blocks implements the interfaces described by the function inputs and outputs eventually showing up and physical interfaces that are implemented in the product.

The logical model describes the solution elements in abstract terms, and how they interact with each other logically rather than physically. For example, for an electromechanical product, you can create a logical model that describes the product or system in terms of input ports, output ports, interfaces, and connections.

The logical model depends on a data dictionary as a central repository for common signals and interfaces. For this, Classification provides the central repository.

The working and definition of the logical model in Teamcenter is managed in the same way as the functional model.

In Systems Engineering, logical models are developed through an interface with Microsoft Office Visio.
