Why use Teamcenter Simulation Process data
Management
• Traceability
• What version of the cad part was used?
• Where did that load case come from?
• What solver did you use?
• Architecture for automation
• Controlled data format
• Controlled data location
• Controlled data names
• Controlled Quality
• Standardise Process workflow
• Improved repeatability
• Improved quality
• Shared workload
• Promote Team working
• Communicate Status
• Reduce risk

Siemens PLM Software
Structured Data
Shows where data comes from in a Model
Shows relationships between data
Shows how data is catalogued or classified
Shows the context of data
Shows the completeness and status of a Model
Visual representation of complex interactions
Includes Metadata from forms i.e. Engineering Properties

Hypemesh Integrated with Teamcenter Simulation
Process Data management
Teamcenter - World Class PLM
• Intelligent Structures
• Intelligent Relationships
• Intelligent Data
• Workflows
• Data source and Classification
• Data delivery on time and to
standard
• Consistent inputs for automation
Hypermesh – World Class CAE Tool
• Solid Geometry Modelling
• Shell Meshing
• Model Morphing
• Detailed Model Setup
• Surface Geometry Modelling
• Solid Mesh Generation
• Automatic mid-surface generation
• Batch Meshing

Structured Data in Hypermesh
Interactions with Hypermesh using structured data
• Automation of Complex Situations
• The pre processor can recognise what actions need to be taken for a
given component
• Data in context means that when we mesh component we understand
what it connects to where we need to make connections
• Engineering properties are mastered in one place, and not lost in
translation

Siemens PLM Software
Engineering Properties Form (Intelligent Data)
• Engineering properties = Metadata for the related CAE Model Item
• Exchanged with Hypermesh to assist with definition or process

Siemens PLM Software
PLMXML characteristics
Open
• Schemas are published at www.plmxml.com
• Freely downloaded and used for collaborative applications
Lightweight
• By design an efficient, effective and lightweight embodiment of
structured product data
• Geared towards moving essential information between PLM
processes.
Extensible/Flexible
• Allows additional data to be transported simply by building on the
published schemas
• Enables adopters to describe in extended schemas data that may be
highly specialized or commercially sensitive
• Possible to transport as much of a data model as is required without
breaking away from the core of PLM XML.

Details
Configuration
-Only one PLMXML Transfer Mode for all use
cases.
- The Hypermesh Mapping Table is a
configuration file available in the Hypermesh
directory. This file is common to all sites and
can only be modified by the administrator.
Process
- The user is able to start manually each
process independently either from
Teamcenter or from the working directory.
- The same process is applied for all use
cases.
- The Hypermesh-PLMXML Import and
Hypermesh-CAD Translation processes may
be considered as one unique process
Environment
- The Working Directory is the temporary
location where Teamcenter and Hypermesh
are exchanging the files.
- The PLMXML File exported by Teamcenter
is overwritten by Hypermesh at the
Hypermesh-PLMXML Export process after a
copy of the original file has been created.
