In today’s episode, we’re focusing on Managed Mode in NX.

Teamcenter inside NX

As a starting point, we’ll focus on Teamcenter within NX. You can now access Teamcenter features without leaving NX. These are the highlights that we have added to Teamcenter based on feedback from you.

Start NX from the browser using Open in NX

The alignment of NX with Teamcenter architecture was crucial. We’ve now made it possible to launch NX directly from your browser. This is possible because NX connects with the same Teamcenter Server as the browser.

Once you open Teamcenter and select the language, NX will begin in that language. The group, project, and role that you have selected will also be carried over to NX.

Application Connect

Let’s take a look at Application Connect. This feature enables you to take your workflow efficiencies to the next level through the ability to run Teamcenter inside NX in an external web browser once NX is opened. We’ve focused on this functionality based on feedback by you, to ensure you can get the best out of NX. Using the connectivity option, you can manage your complex NX data from the external browser as you would when running Teamcenter in NX. This let’s you move the data management functionality out of the NX design platform so that you can focus on model creation within NX.

Introducing Systems Navigator in NX Diagramming

Introduce the new System Navigator, a feature that was added to this version of NX. The System Navigator lets you create, organize and display diagramming data in a hierarchy of subsystems. The goal with Systems Navigator is to make it easier for you to work with complex diagrams as subsystems that consist of relevant sheets, runs and equipment. It is your context to find, open and create new diagrams.

We put your ability to collaborate at the heart of what we do. So, this NX and Teamcenter Integration enables you to access and store the latest diagram information, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously, all whilst reducing potential design conflicts that may occur.

REMEMBER:
Select one more more objects and then right-click to choose Fit View to Selection to focus the diagram view. You can only work on sheets from one system at a time.
