What is Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services?

Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services is an integration framework used to integrate modeling tools with Teamcenter. This framework is deployed on top of Teamcenter.

The integrations supported by Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services fit in the Model-Based Systems Engineering area.

Products such as a car, ship, or phone can be represented logically as a system model. If we consider a car as a system, components such as the engine, transmission, and brakes can be considered as subsystems. In Teamcenter, you can create a model of the system that depicts the different subsystems and the interactions between them. You can also create models of the requirements and functions. All these models created in Teamcenter are used by tools in different domains such as Failure Analysis, Functional Analysis, and Behavior Analysis. A system model is the core input to these tools. These tools generate simulation models based on the system models, and the results of the simulations are used in the downstream processes. All these tools must be integrated with Teamcenter. Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services provides a framework for this integration.

By integrating the modeling tools with Teamcenter, you can use them for model authoring and Teamcenter for model management. The integration helps leverage other Teamcenter benefits. You can:

• Manage model data in Teamcenter in the context of the product data.
• Manage additional model data such as test results, reference data, and documentation in Teamcenter.
• Access the models saved in Teamcenter from the model authoring tools.
• Reuse models by organizing them in your enterprise model library, using the Teamcenter Classification application.

The Teamcenter MBSE Integration Services is a generic integration framework and can integrate with any behavior modeling tool and provides the following features, which are required for integrating any modeling tool with Teamcenter:

• Establishing connections with Teamcenter, including SSO
• Defining the data model and its deployment
• Defining the mapping of external tool artifacts with Teamcenter business objects
• Managing file uploads and downloads
• Providing the user interface to support Teamcenter operations
• Managing customization and business object extensibility
• Maintaining compatibility with multiple Teamcenter platforms
