Weight and Balance Management ─ Deployment and Administration

Set up Weight and Balance Management

To create a high-quality product, managing the weight and balance of a product is very important. In the industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, weight and balance properties directly impact product efficiency, performance, stability, and movability.

Using the Weight and Balance Management application in Teamcenter, companies can manage the weight and balance properties of their product right from the concept through the service phases. They can integrate weight and balance data into the overall product development process to ensure that products meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements.

You, as an administrator, must set up Weight and Balance Management so that weight engineers can set their weight targets and generate rollup reports.
