Teamcenter Visualization: Overview | OnePLM

Lifecycle Visualization viewers
The Lifecycle Visualization integration with Teamcenter supports the Teamcenter lifecycle visualization stand-alone viewer and the Lifecycle Viewer within the rich client. In addition, many rich client perspectives include embedded visualization components.

Stand-alone viewer
The stand-alone viewer, which runs outside of Teamcenter and is a separate installation, expands upon Teamcenter's embedded visualization components with support for optional software modules such as Concept, Visualization Illustration, Quality Producer, and Variation Analysis. Stand-alone Lifecycle Visualization is integrated with Teamcenter, so you can send data from Teamcenter applications into the stand-alone viewer, perform analysis, and then save your work back to the database.

Stand-alone Lifecycle Visualization is available in the following product configurations:
• Base
The Base product configuration enables you to view and mark up 2D images and perform basic 3D analysis operations such as measurements and cross sections.
• Standard
The Standard product configuration provides many additional features, such as advanced navigation capabilities, markup tools, and support for precise 3D measurements.
• Professional
The Professional product configuration adds analysis functionality such as 3D comparisons, as well as the ability to manipulate and transform 3D models, create outline captures, and play motion files that illustrate assembly sequences. You can optionally use add-on modules such as Animation, Concept, and Visualization Illustration.
• Mockup
The Mockup product configuration provides all of the functionality from the other product configurations and also includes advanced features such as 3D clearance analysis, geometry simplification, part groups, 3D filters, and movie captures. You can optionally use all of the available add-on modules, including Quality Producer, Variation Analysis, Jack, and Path Planning.
 
Lifecycle Viewer
The Lifecycle Viewer is a full-fledged visualization client within Teamcenter. It provides nearly all of the visualization tools offered by the stand-alone viewer, many of which are not available in the embedded viewers within Teamcenter applications such as My Teamcenter.

The Lifecycle Viewer is available in the same product configurations as the stand-alone viewer, Base, Standard, Professional, and Mockup. Features available vary depending upon the licensing level. The Base configuration is automatically installed with the rich client.

Using the Lifecycle Viewer, you can:
• Work within a comprehensive user interface that provides access to many of the options previously available only with the stand-alone products, including menus and views (the equivalent of Project Workspace windows such as the Assembly).
• Insert or merge files within active Viewing windows.
• Work with multiple open datasets.   • Preserve the state of your work with session files.
• Save data as PLM XML.    • Export 2D images and 3D models as supported datasets.
• Author visualization data such as motion files, swept volumes, and .vfz collaboration files.
