How to insert the TRIZ component

The TRIZ template can be used to start new projects or to extend existing projects. Please read chapter "The Templates" to learn more about how to start new projects.

In order to extend your project:

  1. 1
    Activate the Home Ribbon Home Ribbon
  2. 2
    Click the Add Tool button on the Home ribbon
  3. 3
    Click the TRIZ icon in the template catalog

In order to find the TRIZ component within the template catalog, you have to choose a cycle name on the first line of the screen and a phase name at the left of the screen. The TRIZ component is located in this cycle/phase combinations:

    .

    TRIZ contradicition analysis on functions. Identify conflicts between parameters and look up TRIZ inventive principles.

    The main worksheet shows the conflicts in form of a cause-effect-diagram.

    • Drag the relevant CTQs from the gallery into the diagram. Expand the CTQs in the gallery to access all existing CTQs. Drag the CTQ placeholder into the diagram to create new CTQs
    • Choose a negative effect line in the connectors section of the gallery, then drag lines between conflicting CTQs in the diagram
    • Select an abstract TRIZ Parameter for each CTQ by clicking the right lower cell in a box
    • When all CTQs have an associated TRIZ Parameter, press [F5] to start calculation

    Analyzing the TRIZ results

    After recalculation, each negative relation value has got a list of possible solutions as far as TRIZ could find one for the pair of conflicting parameters.

    • Move the mouse cursor to a conflict line. If there is a TRIZ solution for the conflict represented by this line, a popup window will show suggested actions.
    • In a next step, try to find an actual technical solution based on these suggestions. Write your thoughts down either using the comment field or by adding tasks to the selected conflict line.
