Available within the Teamcenter Visualization Analysis Option, this feature automates the detection of clashes between components during the design phase, preventing costly errors and rework downstream. The Teamcenter 2406 release introduces exciting enhancements to this capability that will enable you to further accelerate the clash and clearance analysis and disposition workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-teal-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-teal-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\ud83c\udf10-expanded-stakeholder-access-through-active-workspace-integration\"><strong>\ud83c\udf10 Expanded stakeholder access through Active Workspace integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Teamcenter 2406 release, Siemens expands clearance management by integrating clash results into Teamcenter Active Workspace.
