Requirements Engineering
Streamlining the progression from requirements to the product via Requirements Engineering
Requirements management is the key to project success
Inadequate or lack of requirements management is one of the most common causes of project goals being missed. Unclear communication channels between stakeholders, a lack of documentation and a lack of understanding of requirements on the part of the development team inhibit collaborative product development and lead to serious problems. Examples of this are flawed designs, delays in the development process, exploding costs, poor product quality or unfulfilled requirements. CONTACT Elements Requirements Engineering helps you to ensure the success of your projects and avoid costly mistakes.
Benefits
- Automatically monitor and document requirement lifecycles
- Record and edit requirements easily and conveniently
- Clearly display relationships between requirements in the virtual product model
- Directly monitor the degree of fulfillment and corrective measures
- Implement systems engineering reliably according to the V-model and other methods
Automatically monitor and document requirement lifecycles
Requirements Engineering enables you to master the management of large requirements portfolios. Record and track new requirements and changes throughout the development process. The audit trail documents all changes and makes them directly traceable in detail. Use the integrated REQIF format to exchange requirements with customers or external partners easily and efficiently: Export your status and integrate new statuses directly after processing by customers or service providers. You can also use baselining to save intermediate statuses or combinations of statuses and compare them using any parameters such as acceptance criteria, open points or semantic links.

Record and edit requirements easily and conveniently
With the editor integrated in the module, you can create and edit specifications, their requirements, and acceptance criteria web-based. You can add layouts and other image information. In addition, the Specification Editor makes it easy to classify and evaluate requirements and offers convenience functions such as preview and batch modifications.

Clearly display relationships between requirements in the virtual product model
Semantic Links enables you to easily link requirements to each other and to other objects such as components or tasks. The resulting link graphvisualizes these interrelations and helps you recognize and evaluate the impact of changes in advance. Filters and navigation functions help keep track of complex projects in particular.

Monitor the degree of fulfillment and take corrective action
CONTACT Requirements Engineering allows you to plan and monitor requirements and the degree to which they are fulfilled, both as objects in their own right and in conjunction with tasks from the project plan. Requirements that have been fulfilled can be recorded either manually or automatically – for example the proportion of certain materials for compliance with RoHS. Clearly structured charts indicate the degree to which requirements have been fulfilled. If there are any significant discrepancies, countermeasures can be taken and traced without any need for separate additional tools.

Provide practice-oriented support for systems engineering
Requirements Engineering supports product development in accordancewith the enhanced V-model. End-to-end, requirements-driven development is a a crucial lever for systems engineering or Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The result is transparency, traceability, compliance and reliably achieved objectives throughout the entire development process and across the individual disciplines such as mechanical engineering, E/E and software.

Combine MBSE and PLM to implement state-of-the-art development processes
In today’s world, it is hard to image innovation without interdisciplinary team work. The growing proportion of software in products is a key driver for innovative products. This gives rise to an enormous number of dependencies between disciplines and their work products within the development process. This white paper shows how Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) can simplify and accelerate the development process and why it is worth integrating MBSE and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). It is widely accepted that the potential of MBSE can only be fully exploited, if it is integrated in a collaborative environment by means of robust processes. This is exactly where the intrinsic strengths of PLM lie.
