This paper describes our experiences in reverse engineering portions of a system during the requirements definition phase of a hardware development and production project. The life‐cycle functional analysis process will be described along with the tools and techniques used. The functional analysis was performed for most of the product life cycle from manufacture of piece parts through operation and support. The life‐cycle processes were documented using behavior diagrams, requirements allocation sheets, and interface control documents. Process teams were formed that consisted of process engineers, design engineers, systems engineers, management and customer representatives. The RDD‐100™ Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tool was used to capture the process diagrams, process constraints, and design requirements, and to produce an interface control document for each of the ten life‐cycle processes.
