Before You Begin

Before you can create a custom Potential Degradation Mechanism, you must first create a custom Degradation Mechanism.

Steps

1. On the right side of the top navigation bar, select , and then navigate to and select Potential Degradation Mechanisms.

   The Record Manager page appears, displaying a new PDM record.

   

2. Next to the Datasheet ID, select , and then select Potential Degradation Mechanism.

   The Potential Degradation Mechanism datasheet appears, displaying the General section.

   

3. In the General section of the Potential Degradation Mechanism datasheet, enter the following values:

   • In the Degradation Mechanism field, select your custom Degradation Mechanism.

   • In the Degradation Mechanism Description field, select your custom Degradation Mechanism.

   • In the DM Methodology field, select your custom DME family.

4. On the Potential Degradation Mechanism datasheet, select the Consequences tab, and then add one or more related Consequence Evaluations.

5. Select .

   The custom Potential Degradation Mechanism has been created.
