Teamcenter Classic Variants Configuration

 

Classic Variant Configuration

Teamcenter supports two methods of variant configuration. Classic variant & modular variant configuration. The method to use for variant configuration depends on the product structure. If the product structure is non-modular and does not need to be re-structured and generic assemblies are not reused often in different scope, classic variant method is more suitable for variant configuration.

Variant configuration is required to configure a product based on different allowed choices or options .Basically, variant data is attached to occurrences or its corresponding item revision,that is utilized (to set options , default values, validate values , satisfy condition to load occurrence) by variant rule to configure different variants of a product . ...  Continue Reading

Track & Baseline Structure with Incremental Change

 

Tracking & Managing with Incremental Change

Create & Set Active Incremental Change

Click the Create Incremental Change button on the incremental change toolbar to create an incremental change. Effectivity data will not be set without releasing incremental change (manually or through release status defined in preference)

Click on Incremental Change Edit context button on the incremental change toolbar to set active incremental change. All the edits will be made in context of this active incremental change. ...  Continue Reading

Teamcenter Incremental Change

 

What is Incremental Change?

Incremental Change collects structure changes like addition, removal, changes to attachment etc. These structure changes are configured collectively when incremental change (collection object) is configured by revision rule based on its effectivity. Several unrelated structure changes can be configured by this method.

They are mostly used with large, flat structures where configuring with revision effectivity is not suitable. While configuring with revision effectivity, with each combination of change (addition, removal etc.) a new revision will be created. Tracking of these changes will also be difficult for large sub-assembly at the same level. ...  Continue Reading
