Traceability

Traceability provides a connection between objects in Teamcenter. For Systems Engineering, this means connecting our structure elements together. For example, creating links between requirements or between logical blocks. You can also create links between functions and requirements or logical blocks.

When the requirements, functional design and logical modeling are complete, users have complete traceability from requirements, to functions, to logical and physical objects allowing users to see the decision, requirements and alternatives that lead to a particular design alternative.

Trace links are used to provide traceability between structure elements and in which one object takes precedence over another. The predecessor, the defining object, is the trace link source. The successor, the complying object, is the target. Trace links are defined for both revisions and occurrences.
