Lifecycle visualization standard

Enterprise visualization and markup to enable rich-process collaboration

Benefits Summary • Streamline decision-making ® software’s lifecycle visualization standard solution incorporates and facilitate rapid full 2D/3D visualization and markup capabilities for extended enterprise understanding of your design collaboration. Intelligent 3D visualization and navigation helps users navigate decisions by enabling complex models through hierarchical product structures. In addition, product teams to visually comprehensive 3D markup capabilities facilitate rich knowledge exchange participate in your review/ throughout the product lifecycle. approval processes • Reduce errors and rework by Extending product design data beyond the design process enabling product teams to Teamcenter’s lifecycle visualization standard solution empowers your collaborate on an extended extended product teams by enabling them to access and visualize design basis early enough in the information, including 3D CAD data (in JT™ data format) and 2D drawings in product lifecycle to most major 2D formats. Whether your users are manufacturing engineers significantly influence who need to assess the manufacturability of a new innovation or managers product cost and delivery who review design changes, the lifecycle visualization standard solution puts schedules the right collaboration tools at your users’ fingertips. • Improve product quality by enabling product teams to Teamcenter’s lifecycle visualization suite has proven its credentials as the review and comment on world’s leading visualization standard for more than a decade by providing product details in the context unmatched of design data – without performance and requiring data translation or a solution portfolio interpretation of unsurpassed • Maximize productivity by breadth. The systematically capturing lifecycle visual­ team reviews/comments and ization suite not enabling team members to only provides your consider recent comments of enterprise with the other lifecycle disciplines, as best visual­ization well as comments made technology on the during earlier design reviews market today, but • Increase the value of your also enables you to technology investments by collaborate with providing your extended industry-leading product teams with easier companies around access to embedded data in the world. their CAD and PDM systems of choice
