Teamcenter Architecture & Communication Between Tiers

 

Teamcenter architecture provides two types of client-server software architecture pattern. In both two-tier and four-tier teamcenter architecture, separate modules are developed and maintained independently on same or separate platforms.

Teamcenter four-tier architecture

Four tier architecture model has following tiers: ...  Continue Reading

Supersedure-Comparing Structures under Change Management

 

A supersedure is a manually created relation that graphically displays the replacement (displays components that have been removed and the components that have been added to replace them) in context of parent assembly. Supersedures are created when defining engineering change, so that replacement can be displayed later on. It can be created for changes to part number (item id of part) or for changes to quantity, but not for changes in part revision.

Structure Change & Supersedure

To establish the supersedure relationship, old item revision is manually copied to Impacted Items folder and new item revision to Solution Items folder of change revision. Right click the item revision in Solution Items folder and choose Relate Solution Item to Impacted Item, to relate the replacement information, in case of multiple solution items. ...  Continue Reading

BOM Compare-Structure tree & Graphical Comparison

 

BOM Compare is used to identify differences or changes between two product structures. We may be interested in changes to immediate components at single level assembly or we may want to know the difference between all the piece parts in the complete structure. Comparison between two product structures can be done at different levels of structure. Depending on the configuration and view used for product structure, suitable comparison mode (level) can be used.

BOM Comparison can be done in two ways: ...  Continue Reading

Difference between Classic Variants and Modular Variants

 

Depending on the product structure, classic or modular variants method can be used for variant configuration of structure. Based on the business practices, one of the two approaches will be more suitable to configure the product structure. Both classic variants and modular variants should not be used together in the same product structure.

Differences between Classic Variants & Modular Variants is illustrated below : ...  Continue Reading
