Understanding the relationship between Teamcenter and the system modeling application
Collaborative modeling is performed on a system modeling project through an integration with a system modeling application and Teamcenter. Some tasks, such as committing changes to a branch, must be performed in the system modeling application.
The following table describes which tasks you can perform in both the modeling application and Teamcenter, and which tasks you can perform only in the modeling application.
| Teamcenter and modeling application tasks | Modeling application-only tasks |
|---|---|
| Create a new branch and manage existing branches. | Publish a new model to Teamcenter with collaborative modeling enabled. |
| Navigate the branch history. | Commit changes to a branch. |
| Add tags to the latest commit in a branch. | Merge branches. |
| Search tags. |
