More and more people involved in product lifecycle processes need access to 2D and 3D design data in order to make well informed decisions early enough to impact product development, but may not need -- or want -- to use CAD software.
Teamcenter provides an environment for providing digital prototypes to key decision makers, to streamline product lifecycle management (PLM) processes.
Teamcenter Accelerates Engineering and Decision-Making Processes
Teamcenter’s capabilities for lifecycle visualization are the most widely used solutions for:
Streamlining change management processes by eliminating manual, paper-based steps and the ambiguity associated with 2D drawings
Enabling collaborative design reviews to eliminate wasted time and cost of travel, while improving productivity and issue resolution
Digital mockup (DMU) for precise spatial analysis -- on any size multi-CAD models -- to catch errors earlier, eliminate physical prototypes and ultimately reduce risk of cost and schedule overruns
Teamcenter’s lifecycle visualization capabilities leverage the power of JT, the common 3D language of PLM across all major industries.
Teamcenter provides a view of your products throughout their lifecycle with a complete, scalable family of solutions that allow lifecycle participants to visualize product data in 2D and 3D formats, even when this data is created using diverse authoring software. Teamcenter enables your extended enterprise to take part in the design process early and often without incurring the cost or complexity associated with CAD systems.
Teamcenter streamlines innovation by allowing your product teams to visualize and collaborate on new product ideas, test their validity and evaluate virtual prototypes. By letting product teams exchange and mark up universally accessible visualization files as part of their PLM workflows, they can make fully informed decisions. You can provide people with access to configured design data, product structures, requirements, specifications, change orders and other relevant information in a 3D visual context.
