MONHEIM, Germany, Oct 14, 2014 – Now available, the release of an expanded interface between EPLAN and Teamcenter software, that offers more functionality, including catalog part synchronization and expanded support for Teamcenter. This allows the EPLAN parts database to be matched with the data in Teamcenter.
Data matching across different disciplines – EPLAN projects can easily be incorporated into Teamcenter
While the previously integrated functionality – announced one year ago – has been well received, users have been eagerly awaiting the electrical engineering interface between EPLAN and Teamcenter. Project data from the EPLAN Platform can now be accessed directly within Teamcenter, the world’s most widely used product lifecycle management (PLM) portfolio. The integration module for Teamcenter seamlessly embeds the EPLAN Platform solutions into the PLM environment. Electrical engineering has now become a component of the digital product model. E-CAD data such as connection lists, bills of materials and EPLAN reports complete the product model.
Create, Save and Revise Parts Lists
The interface covers the essential requirements of Design Data Management. These include management of construction data for EPLAN; opening, saving and revising data; support of all approval and change processes; creating and updating EPLAN evaluations; bi-directional synchronization of project attributes; adopting naming and numbering rules from Teamcenter; creating, saving and revising EPLAN bills of materials in Teamcenter; as well as the authentication of EPLAN users and authorization allocations in the Teamcenter environment. The integration of Teamcenter functionality in the EPLAN user interface means that users can easily access Teamcenter from their familiar working environment. The EPLAN integration for Teamcenter supports EPLAN versions 2.2, 2.3 and shortly 2.4 as well as versions 9.1 and 10.1 of Teamcenter.
