Design FMEA Generation

What it does​

Generates a complete Design FMEA — failure modes, effects, causes, controls, RPN, recommended actions — for any artifact in the hierarchy.

Why it matters​

A traditional DFMEA workshop runs 2–3 days with 4–6 engineers. Creopus drafts the same artifact in under 5 minutes, then engineers spend an hour refining instead of three days creating.

How it works​

  1. Open a subsystem or assembly in the hierarchy.
  2. Trigger DFMEA from the actions menu.
  3. AI reads linked artifacts (requirements, block diagram, BOM) and proposes failure modes per component/function.
  4. Each row includes: failure mode, effect, severity, cause, occurrence, current controls, detection, RPN, recommended actions.
  5. Submit for review. Reviewers can request specific failure modes be reconsidered or expanded.

Key capabilities​

  • Cross-artifact awareness — uses requirements + BOM + block diagram as input.
  • RPN auto-calculation with ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 mapping.
  • Severity-based filtering for review priority.
  • Implement on review — accept a reviewer comment and AI patches the FMEA row.
