Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer has been announced by Siemens to enable visualisation and interaction with photorealistic, physics-based digital twins inside the PLM system.
The new software embeds high-performance, real-time ray tracing capabilities, powered by Nvidia Omniverse, with a cloud-based rendering service is embedded directly within the Teamcenter web client. This will allow for large, complex datasets common in engineering and manufacturing to be rendered quickly, reducing workflow waste and errors.
“Working with Nvidia, we’re supercharging the capabilities of the Siemens Xcelerator software portfolio,” said Joe Bohman, executive vice president, PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer, our first product embedded with Nvidia Omniverse, will help our customers further accelerate their product development workflows and eliminate workflow waste and errors.”
Siemens says that the new performance-driven visualisation capabilities will allow users to seamlessly visualise, navigate, and analyse photorealistic BOM, navigate complex datasets and analyse photorealistic products that are directly linked to their loaded BOM.
By doing so in Teamcenter, companies will be able to maintain complete traceability of all feedback, discussions, and changes within its system of record, while also having access to other advanced visualisation, analysis, and collaboration capabilities available in Teamcenter’s embedded digital mockup (DMU) environment.
The Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer also offers the benefits of removing the need for separate virtual environments, helping reduce hardware and software costs, while the integration of live 3D data means that product information is always synchronised, reducing errors and data discrepancies.
This is the first product to launch following the announcement in March 2024 between Siemens to use Nvidia Omniverse cloud APIs with the Siemens Xcelerator platform to offer immersive visualisation within Teamcenter X.
