All afloat with product development software
Sunseeker International has recently implemented the Unigraphics NX collaborative product development and manufacturing software suite at its shipyard headquarters on the UK's south coast.
This capability enables customers to bring data from multiple CAD authoring sources into Teamcenter -- then visualise it, measure it, analyse interference, mark it and share it.
"A multi-CAD vision for PLM enables companies to both manage multi-site product development and to respond quickly to product design changes in real time", said David Burdick, President of Collaborative Visions, a research firm that tracks the PLM market.
"UGS is well positioned to meet this trend with its commitment to multi-CAD integration".

Unlike other products that focus simply on managing CAD design files, most often for a single CAD system, Teamcenter's integrated visualisation capabilities support true engineering collaboration.
Teamcenter automatically synchronises and manages CAD and visualisation data allowing multi-site design team members to automatically navigate complex assembly structures.
Teamcenter's visualisation and mockup capabilities make it easy for teams to analyse and validate multi-CAD designs on a continuous basis, while preserving and maintaining the native CAD data format to ensure that multi-site design teams are working from the same information.
The vast product knowledge that is captured, managed and shared in Teamcenter allows companies to streamline engineering processes, analyse and validate design change impact quickly and improve design reuse.
The result is improved design throughput, simplified design review, better quality and more time for product innovation.
"The ability to manage a diverse array of CAD assets in a unified PLM environment is a critical requirement for our globally dispersed and diverse customers", said Steve Bashada, Vice President of Teamcenter Applications, UGS.
"Teamcenter is a natural choice for customers with multiple CAD systems, and also provides a solution for customers with a single CAD system who would like to continuously validate the design against geometry from OEMs or suppliers with different CAD systems".
Teamcenter is a proven portfolio of configurable lifecycle domain and industry solutions, uniting product knowledge with process innovation to deliver business value throughout the product lifecycle.
Teamcenter leads the PLM industry with digital product development, engineering process management and enterprise data management solutions that deliver fast time-to-value.
