Teamcenter: Engineering Data Management SystemUG NX: Transition to New Mechanical CAD System
Rich StanekOn behalf of the Teamcenter/NX Implementation Team

• What is Teamcenter?• Software tool to help us do our jobs better• Commercial, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software (Siemens)
• Document and Process centric relational database (Oracle)• Used by many large, internationally based manufacturing companies• Also used by DESY for the XFEL project (TC Enterprise)• CERN study on EDMS identified TC as upgrade to their present system
• Why are we transitioning to UG NX from I-Deas?• I-Deas is at the end of its life cycle (has been known for some time)
• Scheduled to be decommissioned in the next few years• No development/enhancements are going into I-Deas
• New features all going into NX• UG NX (also a Siemens product) is one of the market leaders in CAD
• All licenses are dual functional (I-Deas and NX) reduces cost to switch• Easiest transition since many features are common
Introduction
3
• Who will be affected by move to Teamcenter?• Lab’s technical, procurement and fabrication staff
• Scientists, engineers, designers, technicians, machinists, QC, ES&H & procurement personnel• Mechanical, electrical, and civil disciplines
• Used for projects and for internal engineering data• Allow access for Collaborators (project-related eng. documents)
• Who will be affected by move to NX?• Mechanical design work in progress will continue in I-Deas• All new mechanical project work will be started in NX• Software tools exist to convert I-Deas data files to NX format• Eventually want all mechanical design groups NX• Want to explore how much ECAD work can be done in NX as well• Goal is to get down to two CAD systems NX and AutoCAD
• Always exceptions to the rule• Need to explore the needs of the electrical community
Introduction (cont’d)
4
• What problems are we trying to solve with Teamcenter?• Lack of a common EDMS Many DocDB instances and ad hoc systems
• Makes collaboration (even between Divisions) difficult
• CAD files are disjointed mechanical, electrical, civil all handled differently
• Hard to find information, engineering reports, analysis on previous designs…• “Reinvent the wheel” far too often
• Loss of data/information when people retire or move to another project
• Reviews and Signoffs require a manual process • Often without full information available to the approver
• What problem are we trying to solve with NX?• Not a problem per se but an opportunity
• Replace I-Deas with system that has similar (or better) functionality and bring more consistency to design process
Introduction (cont’d)
5
• Why did we choose Teamcenter and NX? • Started off within the CAD Tools Committee as a means to replace our mechanical CAD (I-Deas) TDM
• Needed software that could handle all of our common file formats• NX, AutoCAD, MS Office, pdf, JT, as well as ECAD formats
• Wanted a system with a proven track record • Something with all the capabilities we will need• Minimize customization to limit problems with updates
• Teamcenter and NX have a very strong integration (built in)
Why Teamcenter
6
• What type of documents will be stored in Teamcenter?• Focus on engineering documents and data
• CAD files, specifications, requirements documents, engineering calculations & analysis, safety documents, QC reports, vendor data...
• Will this be our only Document Management System?• No. Lab is also pursuing SharePoint as a more general DMS• Teamcenter will be integrated with SharePoint• There may be other systems that will be linked in as well
Goal is one common access point for documents“one stop shopping”
Integrated Document Management
Licensing Teamcenter
Named user licenses Have licenses for FNAL personnel + some collaborators 1200 Author, 600 Consumer
Plan for how to grant access to Teamcenter by collaborators who do not have FNAL access rights is still under development
Current I-Deas licenses will convert to NX Current I-Deas Licenses 32 Solid Modeling, 65 Drafting Current # of Designers ~ 42 mech., 6 elec., 13 civil/ACAD But, we are pushing mechanical design towards a more 3D
centric environment more solid modeling Will need more modeling licenses Divisions (AD, PPD, TD) & Projects will be asked to contribute

Short Answer• Combination of SharePoint and Teamcenter should
replace DocDB instances and provide much more functionality and consistency
• Will also give an opportunity for more concurrent engineering and less dependence on paper signoffs
• Move to NX should bring more consistency and efficiency to the way we do mechanical design
• Will also give an opportunity to integrate some ECAD

Core Team has been meeting for several months• Getting good participation and feedback• Not easy to map out a plan for something that has been so disorganized
• Working Groups are active• Used their initial reports as input for Alignment Phase
• Met with India Labs’ representatives (IIFC)• Working on details of how Multi-Site system can be configured• Understand infrastructure and security limitations
• Contract for consulting services (Siemens) is in place• Will use “industry best practices” to help establish data schema• First “Alignment” session was held two weeks ago• Actively working on configuration
• Building up hardware architecture• Utilize existing infrastructure as well as new hardware purchase• High availability, scalable, redundancy
• Working with the SharePoint Team to assure smooth integration
Current Status
Schedule Currently in the process of going through the
standard Siemens Value Delivery Methodology Plan to have Teamcenter ready for limited production use by
March 2011 Core Team/Working Groups providing valuable input
Same time frame, we will move from I-Deas to NX Integration of NX in Teamcenter is better Gives us time to train our design staff appropriately Allows us to “configure” NX to maximize design efficiency
Hopefully SharePoint is ready on the same timescale to provide an integrated approach and we have solution for dealing with “named user” collaborators

Teamcenter will be the Lab’s EDMS and NX will be the Lab’s new mechanical CAD software
• Have a plan for how to proceed • Established project charter/roadmap to guide implementation
• This program has• Director’s support • Funding for hardware, software and consulting services• Team has formed to align and implement the software
• Strong representation from around the Lab
• Needed for success• Commitment from D/S/C and Department Heads• Acceptance from the engineering and technical staff• Resources for training, data migration and testing
