PACE 2010

2010 PACE Global Annual Forum13:00 – 15:00 What’s New in NX, Teamcenter Unified, and TecnomatixLocation: Main Conference Room, Level B2Presenter:Tim Hsu, Siemens PLM SolutionBusiness Development Director Asia-PacificTim Hsu will present NX, a next-generation digital product development system thathelps companies transform the product lifecycle. The latest capabilities of HD-PLMwill be discusses. With the industry's broadest suite of integrated, fully associativeCAD/CAM/CAE applications, NX touches the full range of development processes inproduct design, manufacturing and simulation. NX provides a complete suite ofintegrated process automation tools to enable companies to capture and reuseproduct and process knowledge encouraging the use of corporate best practice.Tim Hsu will discuss Teamcenter as much more than a product data management(PDM) solution. With a comprehensive portfolio of end-to-end PLM solutions,Teamcenter optimizes business processes throughout the product lifecycle. He willprovide a look at the whole portfolio of Teamcenter. Teamcenter offers modularcapabilities that can be configured to deliver the right PLM solutions for your globalproduct development and manufacturing operations. He will describe how to target aspecific business needs today, and grow your implementation over time.Tim Hsu will also discuss Tecnomatix solutions that address a variety ofmanufacturing disciplines. Select specific solutions that meet your needs today andyou also gain the confidence in knowing that you can expand Tecnomatix to meetyour needs tomorrow as well.15:00 – 15:30 Afternoon Break – Refreshments compliments of GM Daewoo15:30 – 15:55 Institution and Industry Presentations – Breakout SessionsEngineering Track:“NX Connect: Multi-User CAx on a Commercial Engineering SoftwareApplication”Presenter: Greg Jensen, Professor, Brigham Young University, USALocation: Conference Room BThe NX Connect multi-user prototype uses design rationale to intelligently select theinformation that is shared with each user in the design session. This represents animprovement upon the existing state of the art in co-design MCAD environments. NXConnect effectively converts the single user NX CAD package into a multi-user codesignenvironment. NX Connect utilizes client-server architectures with a thin serverand strong client. The server retains all necessary information for the part file; eachof the workstations then utilizes that information to create/update identical parts oneach of their respective machines. The server also retains and makes available eachchange made during the design session. Each client generates a local copy of thepart file and utilizes information gained during the design session to locally updatethe part. NX Connect promises to collapse engineering design times and to integratemulti-user activities and information exchange.Facing Global Challenges – Solutions for the Future 21
