Lifecycle Visualization

Visualizing Products Throughout the Product Lifecycle

Teamcenter Visualization Advantages

More information about Lifecycle Visualization

Teamcenter Visualization provides the entire organization a view into the data typically locked inside traditional CAD formats. Users explore and validate product innovations and issues in a collaborative environment that features industry leading view, measure, and markup functionality enabled by the true multi-CAD capabilities of JT. When deployed in a Teamcenter environment, the data is always current and up-to-date.

Digital product data needs to be reviewed by an order of magnitude of people outside of the design department. It is critical that this extended team have access to current data, in context of the overall design, and be enabled with tools appropriate to the individual user's needs. Some of the advantages our customers enjoy with Teamcenter’s visualization software are:

  • Consistent, intuitive user interface to visualization software for even non-technical users to interpret design data, review product structure, and markup issues for collaboration
  • Multi-media reviewing – Documents, 2D Drawings, 3D Models and even animation playback – within a common user interface
  • Prototyping software independent of CAD system to allow distributed teams to use their design authoring system of choice Tight integration of prototyping software with other Teamcenter solutions to enable access to requirements, specifications, change orders, and other relevant information in a visual context
  • Unprecedented virtual mockup, measurement, and spatial analysis capabilities in prototyping software for handling extremely large assemblies
  • Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) that adds rich manufacturing detail appropriate to downstream stages of the product lifecycle
  • Immersive realism that can be extended to sophisticated presentation environments (CAVES, Power Walls, Virtual Reality rooms, etc.)
  • Visualization software is extensible to include sophisticated specialist applications for advanced analysis and validation using the same common file format
  • Open file format that is widely distributed across the industry (JT Open) No-charge, JT2Go, personal JT viewer that can be downloaded here by anyone to instantly put "3D data at their fingertips".

Teamcenter Visualization Benefits

Teamcenter’s visualization software extends the value of your intellectual capital by making digital design data accessible to everyone who needs to see it. Because stakeholders and knowledge workers can now interact with designs in an efficient manner, their inputs can be captured and leveraged earlier in the process where the impact is the greatest. You can now leverage the best talents of the best resources – regardless of their technology orientation – to develop the best products at the lowest cost.

Because Teamcenter Visualization and its JT Open consortium have become the de facto standard format for product development information, you can be assured of compatibility with more and more customers, suppliers, and service providers. Our industry leadership is your insurance policy. More than 600,000 users at 35,000 sites across 43 countries – that you do business with – use Teamcenter Visualization.

Teamcenter Visualization is an enabler for many of your most critical PLM processes like design reviews, change resolution, interference detection and more. Because it is lightweight, easily portable and has a low cost of adoption, its digital protyping software can be deployed anywhere that CAD data is consumed at a fraction of the price of an authoring seat. Design data is easier to reuse for upstream and downstream validations and visualizations with higher confidence in the accuracy of the information. Your product development data delivers more value to more people.

Solving “Multi-Domain” problems with “Single Domain” Tools leads to “Technology Stretching,” which leads to “Architectural Brittleness:” Overly Complex Systems Systems that lack functionality, and are difficult to use.
  • High Maintenance costs   of automated   systems
  • Expensive and long   programming efforts
  • Failed automation   efforts
  • System re-writes
  • The inability to   automate many   design to order tasks
