Once you initiate a colliding with each other, allowing for “Save,” the individual entities will be saved several multi-portal cranes to drive on the to their respective part files as if you had same crane runway. been working on them individually. 3D visibility enhancements and Sankey diagram Plant Simulation delivers several enhancements to the 3D viewer and its modeling capabilities, including a 3D Sankey diagram display. This 3D Sankey diagram can easily be configured to visualize multiple products, curves and transport quantities within the 3D window. Lockout zone support Plant Simulation provides a lockout zone object that allows your model to observe and manage the failures of a group of stations/machines. The lockout zone, which provides statistics of its own, displays a new model state (“stopped”) when at least one station in the lockout zone has failed. TECNOMATIX Work offline from Teamcenter ICE does not require you to be connected to Teamcenter at all times. This capability enables you to work offline at a remote location or on the shop floor. This facilitates better supplier community support by enabling participants to work with you collaboratively. Any work or edits performed offline will be synchronized back into Teamcenter once a connection is restored, streamlining your data exchanges. Revise on Checkout You can revise released items directly from the ICE project window in AutoCAD. Once the item is revised, it can be modified within the ICE session and changes can be saved to Teamcenter. This enables you to continue working in AutoCAD without the need to go back and forth to Teamcenter. Publish and Release ICE enables you to “publish” (save) data to Teamcenter while working on a project and then “publish and release” the data when your drawing is finalized. This capability ensures that the these fields in Teamcenter, while ensuring data stored in Teamcenter is not modified synchronization between attributes in your and facilitates your ability to work in an drawing files and attributes in Teamcenter.
