NATIONAL MANUFACTURING WEEK, CHICAGO - Februar 24,
2004 - UGS PLM Solutions, the product lifecycle
management (PLM) subsidiary of EDS, today announced the
availability of new Teamcenter® digital mockup and validation
capabilities that take its Repeatable Digital Validation
(RDV) solution to the next level.
RDV takes companies to the forefront of engineering
technology by connecting designers with current product
configurations through leading-edge visualization technology.
UGS PLM Solutions made the announcement in conjunction
with National Manufacturing Week in Chicago.
“We are embracing technology across our business to
deliver the breakthrough Eclipse 500 jet," said Dr. Oliver
Masefield, senior vice president of engineering for Eclipse
Aviation. "We use Teamcenter RDV capabilities company-wide
in a collaborative environment allowing true Concurrent
Engineering across all disciplines. This has transformed
the design process by allowing our designers to conduct
iterations to optimize the design and keep up-to-date
with current product configurations. Using these tools
gives us a faster time to market and a more robust design
process, while helping us meet and exceed our aggressive
program goals.”
Teamcenter is a proven portfolio of configurable lifecycle
domain and industry solutions, uniting product knowledge
with process innovation to deliver business value throughout
the product lifecycle. Teamcenter’s new RDV capabilities
allow designers to dynamically test and validate designs
in the context of the current product configuration or
multiple configurations. This analysis takes place up-front,
while the design is being created, not post-design where
digital and physical prototyping typically take place
to validate the product.

Transforming the Design Process
With Teamcenter, an accurate and repeatable computer model
can be generated to represent a specific product configuration
for design and analysis tasks, eliminating time wasted
establishing context and ensuring that the appropriate
configurations of the product are evaluated for achieving
design objectives. Customers avoid production issues and
time lost designing for obsolete configurations of the
product, which produces significant savings in terms of
costs and cycle times.
Enhanced features in the latest release of RDV include
the ability to store the design context and its recipe,
rather than just the results, so design contexts can be
shared with other users and applications. This allows
designers to update the context with the most current
data, reducing time and errors re-creating the appropriate
context for design work or communicating issues.
