Manage functional and non-functional changes in context and stay on top of concurrent changes at all times. Update all structure content across multiple assemblies at once – right from a single change notice. Now you can easily keep design BOMs and MBOMs in sync with new APIs for automatic updates.
🌐 Custom 3D visualization
View your digital twin in your own photorealistic scenes. You can now visualize your digital twin in your own custom visual 3D environment leveraging our advanced photorealistic visualization solution built on NVIDIA’s end-to-end AI and accelerated computing platform and powered by NVIDIA Omniverse. We’ve also added more viewer options, giving you more control over how to position your models and scenes.
💡 Smarter sourcing and compliance
Connect Supplyframe and Teamcenter Product Cost Management to access real-time pricing and supply chain risk. Access up-to-date pricing and availability for thousands of electronic components. You can achieve early visibility into supply chain risks and cost fluctuations and make smarter sourcing and design decisions that are aligned with actual market conditions.
Verify material compliance early with pre-approved components. Ensuring environmental compliance starts early. With a comprehensive view of material composition and product compliance, you can verify the regulatory status of materials before they are used and maintain a fully compliant materials library. Accelerate vendor part review and approval processes using pre-approved, compliant materials.
⚙️ Upgrades for semiconductor and process industries
Simplify multi-project wafer (MPW) development using pre-built templates for fair and efficient wafer space allocation. New in Teamcenter 2506, we’ve enhanced management of technology design kits (PDK, CDK, and ADK) to improve design accuracy and supports advanced semiconductor processes—key for foundries aiming to scale their lifecycle capabilities.
Streamline manufacturing planning for process industries with flexible options to update and manage mass values directly within your formula BOM. This allows formulation engineers to save time by entering mass fractions or values in any order—eliminating the need for external calculations. Manufacturing engineers can then seamlessly consume these updates, enabling efficient planning and execution at scale across their manufacturing facilities.
🧩 Model-based collaboration
Initiate and participate in discussion threads directly on model elements, exchanging questions and feedback with other Teamcenter users across disciplines. This enables context-aware collaboration within the modeling environment while bridging communication with the broader Teamcenter community. Discussion threads can also be marked as resolved or closed once a conclusion is reached, ensuring clarity and traceability throughout the development process.
Bring SysML v2 to life with Teamcenter systems lifecycle management. Publish systems models to Teamcenter and bring collaboration with engineering teams to the next level with SysML v2 combined with Teamcenter change and workflow management. With these powerful, integrated capabilities, you can share parts, ports and interfaces for synchronized integration, validate architectures created with Siemens’ Systems Modeler for SysML® v2, and integrate the SysML® v2 architecture in downstream applications like Capital or Simcenter.
🔗 Enterprise integration, simplified
Connect systems faster with the semantic integration model. Intelligently pre-process and organize data through our semantic integration model to eliminate the traditional headaches of system integration. Whether through direct target API transformation inside Active Integration or leveraging your existing integration infrastructure, our semantic framework approach delivers seamless interoperability that adapts to your business needs, not the other way around.
With the latest enhancements to our integration with SAP, you can leverage intelligent BOM and BOP transfers with advanced component information that understand multi-level relationships. We’ve also harmonized change and document classifications across both systems.
