Through this learning manual, one will gain a deep understanding of PLM basics and how PLM is used. This book contains numerous practical examples accumulated throughout our years of training and everyday use. The reader will be guided through all of the concepts, techniques, and commands that are necessary to gain a working knowledge of Teamcenter Engineering. Included is the background information needed to fully understand the underlying concepts.

Topics include: What is PLM and how does it work? How does Teamcenter Engineering fit with other systems? Using Teamcenter Engineering. Basic, intermediate and advanced skills. Implementation of Teamcenter. How to make Teamcenter Engineering work best.

Our Teamcenter book is geared toward a broad audience, including engineers who will actually create data and those who only need to review data, such as management, manufacturing, and marketing teams. Additionally, decision makers who may never touch the data, but need to gain an understanding of PLM, will also benefit.
