About studies

Studies provide an environment where you can scope data to perform trial activities. There are two types of studies:

Isolated study

Teamcenter creates cloned processes and operations, creates references for any products or resource, and places them in the isolated study. An isolated study is a partially isolated structure where you can make changes to the process-related data that are not reflected in the source structures. Isolated studies create a different item revision and occurrence. When you are ready, you can choose to synchronize your changes from the source structure to the study or publish them from the study back to the source structure. Isolated studies can include dynamic in-process assemblies (DIPAs) that are created beneath station levels in a process structure.

Shared study

Teamcenter copies the objects from the source to the study. Any changes you make in a source structure are automatically reflected in the shared study.

Both types of studies can be included with event-based simulations in an alternative planning project. You can also send studies to Process Simulate.

Note

You cannot add enterprise bill of process (EBOP) structures to studies.
