Organizations have critical need to integrate Teamcenter based PLM systems with ENOVIA V6 to better support collaborative processes like part management, change management and release management. However to achieve the required collaboration, it requires significant investments in proprietary integrations that are expensive and difficult to maintain.

V6xPDMGeometric’s ‘V6 xPDM Adapter for Teamcenter’ offers a ready-to-deploy yet extensible solution to enable exchange of design, engineering data between Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter and Dassault Systèmes’ ENOVIA V6. It enables coexistence of Teamcenter and V6-based applications by ensuring data synchronization between the two systems.

The Adapter solution is built using native exchange interfaces of Teamcenter (SOA) and V6 (V6 xPDM Interfaces). It supports bi-directional exchange of engineering data like parts, part revisions, relations metadata, documents and design data like product structure, CAD representation and visual representations

The design data exchange capabilities of V6 xPDM Adapter will help existing CATIA V5 customers using Teamcenter as design data management system, leverage CATIA V6 as their new authoring tool. The Adapter Solution supports bi-directional transfer of CATIA V5 data from Teamcenter to CATIA V6 and back to Teamcenter along with full CAD representations, so that existing Teamcenter based processes for data consumption (DMU, manufacturing planning etc) are fully supported. Engineering data exchange capabilities of V6 xPDM Adapter enables bi-directional exchange of BOM data between ENOVIA V6 and Teamcenter. Users can access useful product information from either system. This feature enables implementation of engineering processes spanning across Teamcenter and ENOVIA V6. V6 xPDM Adapter for Teamcenter’ is available since V6R2013x and supports Teamcenter version 9.1 .

Solution Benefits

• Leverage existing investment and derive maximum value by implementing business processes spanning best-of-breed engineering applications
• Minimal user interaction and asynchronous data exchange methodology
• Reduced need for end-user training
• Well-defined path for existing CATIA V4 / V5 and Teamcenter users to adopt CATIA V6 / ENOVIA V6 platform
