"When we decided to design and build this solution, we knew that it had to be designer-centric, easy to learn and easy to use", said Tanuj Bansal, Managing Director of Incat Products.
"We built the solution right inside Inventor, so Inventor users do not have to work outside of their work environment".
"Inventor users can now access data in the Teamcenter system to improve design efficiency and reduce product development costs with concurrent engineering, 'where-used' analysis and automatic part numbering".
"Additionally, by providing an improved ability to reuse and share product models, users can spend more time adding value through design innovation and less time reinventing the wheel".
Today's announcement is part of UGS' ongoing strategy to develop open solutions that respond to industry needs and produce significant benefits for customers of all sizes.
By adding support for Autodesk Inventor to any Teamcenter implementation, UGS further enhances the value it can deliver to each Inventor user, many of whom work for small- to medium-size manufacturers.
In addition, the announcement further expands Teamcenter's industry-leading list of third-party CAD applications managed through its multi-CAD data management capability.
"UGS continues to lead the PLM industry by responding to customer demands for open solutions that promote interoperability and standardisation", said Chris Kelley, Vice President, UGS Partner Programme.
"By working with companies like Incat to help expand the universe of applications that interoperate with UGS' software solutions, we are making it easier for all companies to share in the benefits of PLM while continuing to leverage their existing applications".
