Teamcenter vs. Simcenter Femap

Teamcenter is growing very well in active workspace as a web-based client, but again, when I'm coming from the manufacturing point of view or a Build of Processes point of view, the software easy plan still needs to improve in a way. Of course, I think they're improving it also in a good way, but it's still not yet matured so from today onwards I can simply ask my users from product resistant to using the plan and push it further. I think there we have to improve more.

A brilliant tool to use for complex FE Analysis beyond the scope of design checks.

• It is an easy-to-use tool and integrates many capabilities to manage CAD better than any other tool.
• It is used by many companies with a great global presence and that has generated confidence for us when we decided to try it, the results have been satisfactory.
• The user interface of this tool is not complex, it is easy to navigate and integrates a lot of functionalities that speed up our work significantly; as well as functionalities such as sectioning, displacing, moving, positioning, transforming, among others that have a lot to do with CAD management.
• It works via the web through the browser, so it is not necessary to download any application that takes up space and more resources on the computer.

• Simcenter Femap is well linked with NX Nastran such that the .dat file can be manipulated from within the software
• The API interface makes it highly automatized

• In my opinion, Bad performance in global use (infrastructure topic).
• In my opinion, Upgrades are hard to handle.
• In my opinion, BMIDE deployment is not good.
• In my opinion, the variation configurator is hard to use.
• In my opinion, MRL has a bad performance.

• Some versions are prematurely released containing many bugs

Because of our current customer needs, we will most likely maintain use of Siemens PLM products for some time. Aside from the initial software cost, we pay for yearly maintenance. Maintaining our yearly maintenance licensing with Siemens, we receive access to all of the latest software releases, as well as premier technical support

As previously mentioned, due to the intense amount of features and modules present in the software, the usability of the software suffers greatly. Many of the features are not used in our context, and many of the modules are not purchased, but the options are still present on the interface leading to a lot of clutter, much of which is never used. The interfaces suffer from a lack of design and tend to feel like a conglomerate of Windows 98 elements.

Teamcenter is a more robust and faster application, with better search capability and easier customization. There is a reason you find companies using CATIA as their CAD software with Teamcenter as their PLM application! I don't know anyone who can name a company using NX with Enovia as their PLM!

Teamcenter exhibits commendable scalability, meriting an 8 out of 10. Its architecture accommodates our expanding material science firm seamlessly. With modular expansions and flexible configurations, it adapts well to increased data volumes and user growth. However, while robust, occasional complexities arise during extensive scaling, hindering a perfect score but substantiating a high ranking for its scalability.

• reduce the redundancy of repeated documentation tasks
• clear versioning history with user identification
• supplier integration into product lifecycle management
• easy to share the engineering data to cross functions
• up to date product data at one place
• possibility of securing the data with project access
