Jenny,

thread559-199581 contains some (admittedly not much)information on this. My company is in the early stages of a Teamcenter implementation, including Solidworks integration, so I'm interested in this as well.

Hi,

thanks for answering.
I already saw this thread, but it wasn't really useful.

Actually we work with SWX since 6 years. We are still happy with it, cause we are building vacuum systems, so we create lots of pipings and frames. Therfore SWX Routing and framing is were well.
But our company startet one year ago with Teamcenter and we thought about changing to SolidEdge.
But with every day more we were testing, we are less happy about the results.

That's the reson, we are thinking about staying with SWX and integrating the interface to Teamcenter.

The biggest probleme we still have are the toolbox and structure parts like (pipes and profiles).

Do you also use them? Did you already have a presentation about this interface?

I have similar concerns with Toolbox and CircuitWorks parts. I'm not entirely certain how we'll deal with these in the Teamcenter environment.

I have not used Teamcenter, but I have been told a few years ago that TC does not catch up with SW version quick enough. They were/are a couple versions behind. Don't know about how they do today.

I was told, by our Teamcenter sales rep FWIW, that Teamcenter will generally catch up within 6 months of a major SWX release. I rarely am in a position where this is an issue for my department.

I have heard that SmarTeam was an offender in this regard as well.

Right now we're working with SWX2008 SP5.
Our company likes to wait a couple of time, before we decide to change to the newest version.
So it's not realy a problem that TC does not catch up with SWx version quick enough.

In my opinion swx is a great CAD Program. Teamcenter is a powerful PDM system. It exists an interface between both, but it seems nobody actually works with?!?

Dear Jenny,

We used Solidworks2008 and Teamcenter Express V4. Currently, we upgraded solidworks from 08 to 09 but unfortunately Teamcenter doesn't quickly catch up with yearly upgrading version of solidworks.

Now there's new released of Solidworks10 still we used 08 because we are affected by Teamcenter.

Regards,
Axlerose

Hi Axlerose,

thanks for this very useful information.
In which business do you work?

Do you use swx routing and framing in your company?

Dear Jenny,

I'am working on a foundry and machinery manufacturing.

Solidworks is very useful for us.

The Solidworks interface to Teamcenter supports up to SW 2010. Starting with version 8.2, it supports toolbox items and provides much improved support for configurations.

Hope that helps...
