Learning Objectives

Consider what not how • Draw a box • Identify a verb • Identify a noun(s) on which the verb acts
Follow flows of energy, material, and information/signals. Consider interactions with external energy, material Break the function down as finely as needed • Fine enough to address customer needs • Fine enough for a single basic solution principle to satisfy each sub-function.
Guidelines for Functional Modeling
4
Define overall function Identify system boundaries Identify flows of Energy (E), Material (M), and Information (I) Identify interfacing objects that exchange E, M, or I Conserve E and M

Elements • List critical functions and sub-functions • Sub-branches from a function or sub-function must
number 2 or greater • Do not specify specifications that are dependent on
design decisions, design choices come later!
Describing this figure in text • Describe the contents, not the tool itself! • What are critical functions?
See Ch. 3 in book for detail

Elements • Mechanisms for lowest level elements of
FT, match one-to-one • Diagrams to depict mechanisms • Labels to briefly name mechanisms
Describing this figure in text • Highlight key mechanisms/functions • Use a selection matrix to identify
mechanisms used in different designs • Use different mechanisms in designs
