Teamcenter : Data Exchange

Here we will understand terminology related to Data exchange

Data can be exchanged using following method

1) PLM XML /TC XML Export IMPORT
      To understand the PLM XML please visit the "PLM XML/TC XML Export Import Administration : Basic Understanding"

2) Briefcase Browser

Let's discuss about Briefcase Browser

Briefcase Browser is a stand-alone application.

Supplier sites without Teamcenter access (unmanaged suppliers) can use Briefcase Browser to work with Teamcenter briefcase files. A briefcase file is a compressed file that contains Teamcenter-required TC XML formatted data and the associated binary CAD and JT files that create a valid Teamcenter product structure. This allows you to exchange product data containing computer aided design (CAD) and JT files, with their associated metadata, with sites that use Teamcenter to manage their product data. 

Briefcase Browser is a stand-alone application that can:
• Read and display unmanaged briefcase files. Only datasets attached   to item revisions are displayed.
• Open JT files in JT2Go or Teamcenter lifecycle visualization (top   assembly supplied in briefcase file from a Teamcenter site only).
• Open CAD data in NX. Other CAD tools may be supported in the    future.
• Display a warning when a briefcase file is not CAD complete. A      briefcase file is CAD complete if all or none of the item revisions  are associated with a UGMASTER dataset type and the UGMASTER type  has not been modified in Teamcenter.
