Attaching Requirements to Design Objects from the Design Model

To verify that the design process fulfills the requirements, you should attach requirements to objects in your design models.

Note: Before you can attach requirements to your design objects from your design model you may need to activate the display of the Requirements tab by selecting Tools > Model Options and selecting the Enable links to requirements option in the All Objects group box of the Model Settings tab.
  1. Open the property sheet of the design object and click the Requirements tab.
  2. Click the Add Objects tool to open a dialog listing all the requirements available in the selected RQM.


  3. [optional] Change the selected model to select another RQM open in the workspace or click the Include Sub-Objects tool to display all the sub-requirements.
  4. Select the requirements you want to attach to the design object, and click OK.

    The selected requirements are attached to the design object and listed on its Requirements tab.



  5. Click OK to return to your model.

To open the property sheet of a requirement from the Requirements tab of a design object property sheet, select it in the list and click the Properties tool. As requirements are stored as shortcuts in design models, you must click the Properties tool to the right of the Name field in the shortcut properties sheet to access the full properties of the requirement.

The design object is listed as a linked object in the Requirement Traceability Links tab of the requirement:
