Siemens PLM Software Introduces Teamcenter 9

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software Teamcenter 9 PLM software,  delivers new solutions and enhancements across the portfolio in support of the company’s HD-PLM vision, which was established to help companies make better informed decisions more efficiently and with a higher level of confidence.

Teamcenter helps companies deliver increasingly complex products while maximizing productivity and streamlining global operations. The Teamcenter 9 release adds a new integrated systems engineering solution and tightens the integration across the unified architecture so companies can make smarter decisions with better visibility into the impact of those decisions. Enhancements across the entire Teamcenter portfolio improve productivity so companies can get to market faster, while reducing total cost of ownership.

The new systems engineering solution provides a fully-integrated approach to systems engineering and requirements management. Unlike traditional systems engineering solutions that use stand-alone tools for system modeling, documenting interfaces, and documenting requirements,  Teamcenter delivers a more systems-driven approach to product development that is managed from within the Teamcenter environment. This enables a common view of the system up and down the value chain, helping to eliminate costly late-stage system integration problems that result from requirements not being tied to physical implementation.

In addition, integrations with familiar best-in-class tools like Microsofts Outlook messaging software, Word,  Excel spreadsheet software, and Visio software, as well as MathWorks MATLAB environment and Simulink environment, support a variety of methodologies for systems definition and modeling using the tools that engineers are used to using.

The enhanced integration of content management in Teamcenter 9 allows product documentation to be created in parallel with the design process. This ensures that changes are communicated as they occur and their impact can drive documentation more efficiently.

In addition, an tighter integration to Cortona3Ds Rapid Author application enables documents to be created with illustrations that remain linked to the design data they describe so changes can ripple all the way through to the documentation. The new release also supports the latest version of the S1000D standard used in aerospace and government documentation as well as the DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture).

Teamcenter 9 integrates the service scheduling and execution management solutions, enabling companies to more effectively control cost by defining and efficiently scheduling service orders and tasks. The solution helps optimize service organizations resources, improve service throughput and reduce asset downtime.
