Teamcenter Integration for Autodesk Inventor

Manage, share and re-use Inventor data to improve collaboration and overall business performance

Teamcenter® software’s integration for Inventor enables you to reduce your product development cycle times and costs by enhancing your Inventor environment through integration with Teamcenter, the industry-leading digital industries (DI) solution. Providing a single source of product data for your design and manufacturing teams, the integration provides access to a full range of DI capabilities to further optimize your design-through-manufacturing processes.

Streamline product development

Teamcenter integration for Inventor enables design information created in Inventor to be captured, controlled and shared by your organization in a single, highly secure DI environment with version management and access controls to ensure that the right people get the right information at the right time.

Providing a single source of product and process data, the capabilities go beyond workgroup CAD data management. The integration is optimized for scalability across a wide area network, enabling geographically distributed design centers to connect to a single database and volume server.

Extend the value of Inventor with Teamcenter Rapid Start and Active Workspace

For new Teamcenter customers who want to get up and running quickly, you can choose the Teamcenter Rapid Start deployment option for Teamcenter, which delivers a preconfigured product data management (PDM) environment that is focused on managing everyday tasks and processes for product development. Teamcenter Rapid Start’s preconfigured industry best-practice workflows including design release and engineering change ensure that processes are completed consistently and efficiently.

Active Workspace is a simple and intuitive user interface for Teamcenter that enables Inventor designers to work efficiently and effectively in a collaborative environment. The PDM environment can be extended to include non-CAD users through Active Workspace’s browser-based user interface or integration with Microsoft Outlook.

Find, share and re-use Inventor Data

With the Teamcenter integration for Inventor, design teams can quickly search and access Inventor parts, assemblies and drawings to eliminate time wasted trying to find and share design information. The integration also enables your organization to eliminate unnecessary change orders by ensuring everyone is working from the latest design information.

Teamcenter integration for Inventor is a designer-centric solution that leverages existing Teamcenter rules and enables Inventor data to be incorporated into a multi-CAD environment.

The user interface is embedded in Inventor and includes:
• A fully featured home browser, nearly identical to the native home browser in Teamcenter
• Fully embedded Active Workspace
• Full integration with both Ribbon and classic Inventor Menu user interfaces
• Teamcenter file status browser panel for reviewing product data management (PDM) information and performing PDM operations on the documents in the current Inventor session

Benefits

  • Ability to integrate Inventor files with all of your technical data to provide a single source of product information that supports your complete design-through-manufacturing process
  • Less time spent finding correct revisions of Inventor data
  • Faster product change and approval processes resulting in decreased time-to-market
  • Consistent work processes followed across all data formats, resulting in less errors and rework
  • Improved collaboration within your organization and with customers and suppliers
