Viewing budget values

In the Budgets view, you can monitor the performance of downstream targets by applying technical measurements, such as Technical Performance Measures (TPMs), to structures and their members.

Budgets work through Microsoft Office Excel, in which you define and quantify parameters like height, weight, or power. With parameter values expressed in appropriate units (for example, inches, pounds, or watts), aggregates can be reported upstream to the system level.

You use Teamcenter live Excel to apply new budgets and initial values, and to edit existing values, for individual structure elements.
