Ways to visualize structures

You can visualize a structure in several ways.

• The Assembly Viewer pane in the Multi-Structure Manager application allows you to visualize a structure. The assembly viewer is sometimes referred to as the embedded viewer.

• The rich client Lifecycle Viewer application provides you with nearly all of the visualization tools offered by the stand-alone viewer, many of which are not available in the embedded viewer within Teamcenter applications. You open the rich client Lifecycle Viewer application by clicking the Lifecycle Viewer application icon.

• Stand-alone Lifecycle Visualization provides you with all the functionality of a viewer view or the Lifecycle Viewer but with support for optional software modules such as Concept, Visualization Illustration, Quality Producer, and Variation Analysis. Stand-alone Lifecycle Visualization is integrated with Teamcenter, so you can send data from Teamcenter applications into the stand-alone viewer, perform analysis, and then save your work back to the database.
