We have created a new feature for construction clients and contractors that work with textual requirements instead of model-based requirements, as we normally do in BriefBuilder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are not a big fan of requirements in a text format (we prefer a more BIM-like approach), but in particular in the\u00a0civil engineering\u00a0and\u00a0energy sector, the use of requirement texts is still widespread and it is not always possible to transform these texts into model-based requirements \u2013 for either legal or practical reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, we have now created a dedicated requirement text module, which allows you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2714 Create a requirements breakdown structure (RBS)
\u2714 Add attributes\u00a0to requirement texts (e.g. external ID, source, \u2026)
\u2714 Add\u00a0labels\u00a0to requirement texts (e.g. requirement categories)
\u2714 Link requirement texts to\u00a0objects\u00a0(e.g. systems or locations)
\u2714 Analyse\u00a0requirement texts
\u2714 Verify\u00a0requirement texts
\u2714 Manage\u00a0changes
\u2714 Import\u00a0requirements from other tools<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a kind of ‘systems engineering light’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
