Teamcenter Visualization: A "View" into Your Product’s Lifecycle
Teamcenter Visualization is the industry standard for product design visualization and enables the world’s largest companies to leverage the talent and intellectual property of their extended enterprise across the globe.
The lifecycle of most products evolves through a process of Plan, Define, Build, and Support. Each of these lifecycle phases is executed by different disciplines with different objectives using different tools all attempting to achieve the same product goals. In today’s world, the people working on these phases are increasingly in different companies and even in different countries! Using tradition tools, handoffs between people, organizations, and phases have been wrought with translation problems resulting in errors of omission and misinterpretations that lead to expensive and schedule consuming rework.
Teamcenter Visualization has solved these problems for the world’s most successful companies by providing the common digital framework upon which the entire extended enterprise work on the right design data – in the appropriate context – to minimize errors and significantly reducing rework. Standalone, or as an extension of the Teamcenter managed environment, Teamcenter Visualization provides a clear, accurate foundation upon which everyone can contribute to a product’s success.
Enabled by the de facto industry visualization standard, JT, Teamcenter Visualization breaks down the barriers created by closed software systems. Because of UGS’ strategy of openness, product development companies are finally able to leverage innovations and intellectual property of their other divisions, suppliers, or even customers in a collaborative, feature-rich, multi-CAD environment. The JT format is the lifeblood of the Teamcenter collaboration strategy by creating a common digital thread from initial concept through product ship.
Earlier validation of design feasibility has as much as an 80% impact on product cost over traditional tools and processes. Whether its Visualization Mockup for early product conceptualization or Visualization Concept for "selling" virtual prototypes internally, early conceptual design teams use Teamcenter Visualization to articulate new innovations to decision-makers and even customers in ways that are impossible without expensive physical prototypes.
For every designer or engineer throughout the organization there are 10 or 20 knowledge professionals who need the data embedded in their output. Because of this, Teamcenter Visualization provides multiple service levels to address their varying collaboration needs from Visualization Base for 2D viewing and markup, along with 3D viewing, to the additional powerful features included in Visualization Standard or Visualization Professional. These tools can be enabled in any number of digital mediums from Teamcenter applications to a standard web browser. Unmatched application power is available with Visualization Mockup and its add-ons where sophisticated digital models can be created, analyzed, and even animated to address the most critical spatial problems that cripple even the most capable development teams.
Whether its Visualization VSA for analyzing tolerances early enough to avoid expensive manufacturing errors or Visualization Quality for evaluating the actual manufacturing deviation from the digital original, manufacturing teams are able to reference the same digital thread before committing to expensive hard tooling. Visualization Publish delivers robust, multi-media production data that directly references the actual digital design data to eliminate the cost of reworking out-of-date documentation when the inevitable changes occur. Manufacturability and serviceability can even be explored with the help of Visualization Jack, UGS’ digital human.
Teamcenter Visualization is the only visualization product available with the depth and breadth to not only provide users throughout the enterprise a contextual view into their own particular phase of the product lifecycle, it uniquely provides a consistent "vision" that ensures that everyone in the value chain is pulling in the same direction.
