Billof materials (BOM) management enhancements in Teamcenter improve reconciliationbetween multiple BOM structures by leveraging object types and attributes. Thissimplifies workflows and assists with filter rules that can remove irrelevantobjects and structure levels, providing a flexible environment foraccomplishing a critical task during new product introduction or when newproduct variants are created by engineering.

Improvementsto Teamcenter's process Gantt chart provides an easier and more intuitive viewof process definition. Processes, interdependencies and timing can begraphically balanced for increased operational efficiency.

A new WYSIWYGeditor for work instructions increases productivity of authoring free text andallows cut and paste of standard text and symbols, improving compliance to yourinternal manufacturing standards.

Capturingand leveraging 3D animations has never been easier. Through Process Simulate onTeamcenter, 3D simulations can be output as a lightweight, monolithic PDFreport with interactive 3D and embedded in work instructions throughTeamcenter. This greatly enhances the understanding of complex assembly ordisassembly operations.

Fromengineering to production, dimensionalintegrity is a critical link from design intent to actual results. OurDimensional Planning & Validation (DPV) production measurement andreporting solution can now provide a standard format output to our VariationAnalysis solution, which gives design engineers the ability to validateassembly variation on 3D models with true production results.

VariationAnalysis now supports finite element analysis (FEA) gravitational bias,allowing simulation models to comprehend gravitational influencers totolerances.

Featurereconciliation improves quality engineering productivity by quickly identifyingunderlying product data changes that could have an impact on features criticalto product quality. Automated routines recognize geometry feature differenceswithout having to interrogate each callout.

Furtherenhancements allow inspection plans to run directly through a web interface andnow become part of DPV results - increasing the DPV use case for piece/partproduction measurement and reporting.

InProcess Simulate Human, new Chinese, German and Indian anthropometric dataenables you to quickly scale the Jack and Jill human models for the assessmentof operations based in China, Germany and India, respectively.

Autoposition operations now include both position and posture creation, and genericergonomic reports can now be filtered and executed for a complete simulationrun within Process Simulate Human.

InJack, new clothed human figures and improved scaling give Jack and Jill amuch-needed makeover. The force-influenced posture tool within Jack canaccurately predict human postures based on hand loads within the operation, andthe task simulation builder now supports work at an elevation, two-handed tasks,force-influenced reaches and enhanced ergonomic reporting.

Thelatest version of Jack delivers performance improvements for the loading andsharing (export) of JT data, user interface enhancements for a more modern lookand feel and library updates to support the most current use of scripting andcustom tool development.

TheFactory products now provide full support for both 32 and 64-bit architectures,as well as for the AutoCAD/AutoCAD Architecture 2010/2011 releases.

FactoryFLOWoffers new capabilities for the handling of daily tugger routes within thefactory model.

Severalenhancements in data handling for the In Context Editor greatly improve theability to work with integrated factory data between Teamcenter and AutoCAD/FactoryCADapplications.

PlantSimulation now provides a Teamcenter data interface for the direct movement ofprocess-related data from manufacturing planning to throughput simulation. Newlibrary objects are also available, with material handling elements like a turnplate and converter, a lockout zone and a multi-portal crane.

Severalnew enhancements within Plant Simulation improve overall model load and savetimes, 3D modeling, and visualization.
