  2. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADWho is ATK Launch Systems? • ATK – “A premier aerospace and defense company” • Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota • Launch Systems – One of four business groups • Headquartered in Promontory, Utah • Worlds largest portfolio of solid rocket motors Space Shuttle RSRM Castor Minuteman III Decoys & Flares Trident II (D5)

  3. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADBecoming a Systems Integrator Historically – A solid rocket motor company ATK, the prime contractor for Ares I 1st stage propulsion system Multiple sub-systems and sub-contractors Data exchange and integration Developing other launch vehicles • Shuttle retires – 2010 • Ares I launch – 2015 Transition Space Shuttle RSRM Ares V – Heavy Lift Vehicle Ares I – Crew Launch Vehicle 3

  4. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCAD environment in March of 2007 CAD tool – I-deas 12 CAD manager – I-deas Team Data Manager (TDM) Four Launch System locations = four TDMs Pass data via package files PLM tool – Teamcenter Enterprise Document lifecycle and management Document and information sharing with customers Release vault 4

  5. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADFuture and Desired State Manage multi-CAD Work in Process Environment Manage I-deas, NX, CATIA, and Pro/E data Data Access Control – Check-in/Check-out Write access based on group, role and release status Search on part attributes Provide visualization files for non-CAD users 5

  6. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADFuture and Desired State Concurrent Engineering Replace 4 TDMs with one centralized database Share data between designers in unified environment Store vendor/partner models in Product Data Manager Teamcenter Engineering and Enterprise Interface TcEnterprise (ePIC) remains the release vault Fully support established ePIC release process Implement basic workflow in Teamcenter Engineering Automate interface between the two systems 6

  7. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADThe Mountain Ahead of Us 7

  8. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSiemens Discovery – March 14-15, 2007 TcEngineering demonstration ATK strategy CAD data management today Benefits to ATK for migrating to TcEngineering I-deas TDM to TcEngineering Migration Process Siemens best practices and standards 8

  9. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSiemens Original Statement of Work Determine multi-CAD data management needs Deploy a TcEngineering “sand-box” environment Configure TcEngineering check-in/check-out access – groups, roles, and part release status Generate visualization files (JT and CGM) using Tessellation services CAD manager configuration – CATIA v5, NX, Pro/E, I-deas 9

  10. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSiemens Alignment Workshop • Searching for Data • Versioning / Revisions • Organization of Data • (Project/Library) IMPROVED • Fast Query Templates • Logical Revision Structure • User Independent Organization • Graphical Where Used/Ref Migration INCLUDED CAD Management Product Management OPTIONAL Process Management ePIC I-deas TDM • Integrated Visualization • Document Management • Mfg. Information Management • Product Structure Editing • WIP Workflow • Mfg. Process/Plant/Resources • Change Management • Adv. Visualization • ERP Integration 10

  11. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSiemens Alignment Workshop Defined TcEngineering and ePIC integration Defined TcEngineering configurations Defined TDM to TcEngineering data migration process Focus on ATK Launch Systems Start with Promontory campus 11

  12. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSiemens New Statement of Work • Deploy a production TcEngineering system for a pilot program • CAD manager configuration for I-deas and NX • Cleanup and migrate I-deas TDM to TcEngineering • Write three customizations for TcEngineering 12

  13. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADJoint Team Organization 13

  14. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSiemens Work Packages and Deliverables • Solution Specification • TcEngineering Implementation • Customizations • I-deas TDM cleanup and migration to TcEngineering • Mentoring for Deployment and Training • Post go live support – 2 weeks 14

  15. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADTDM Migration Process Audit & Analysis Cleanup Migration Post Migration Data capturing Preparation (Mapping, backup, …) Delta Migration Establish detailed execution plan for cleanup User support TDM to PDM migration (test environment) Detailed analysis of TDM data Execute tool based cleanup and data correction Sharing of new best practices and processes Data integrity validation (tool supported) Alignment AS-IS / TO-BE Execute new best practices and processes* Implement suggested best practices* TDM to PDM migration (prod environment) Recommendations of alternative cleanup strategies Communication User validation and testing* * Responsibility of Engineering users Migrate production projects, only data created in last year, latest version, top level 15

  16. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADOne Hill (Program) at a Time Configure and deploy TcEngineering Implement customized ePIC release process Deploy I-deas data manager Identify pilot program to move to TcEngineering Migrate program data to TcEngineering Identify next program… 16

  17. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 1: TDM to TcEngineering Pilot program (CASTOR 30 program) 20 design engineers and drafters Standup/configure TcEngineering I-deas manager Cleanup I-deas TDM data Migrate I-deas TDM data to TcEngineering New TcEngineering WIP workflow Release to ePIC process TcEngineering training 17

  18. Issues Resources Qualification environment setup Data Cleanup Customizations / Encryption JT and CGM generation Data sharing I-deas TDM and TcEngineering Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 1: TDM to TcEngineering 18

  19. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 1: TDM to TcEngineering Successes Went live October 15, 2007 In-house TcEngineering training All requested CASTOR 30 I-deas data migrated Siemens and ATK project management interaction Steering committee meetings and support Project team rallied last two weeks 19

  20. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 1: TDM to TcEngineering Lessons Learned Scope shift – “Sandbox” to production environment Prolonged alignment activities Establish clearly defined requirements Improve ATK/Siemens project team roles and responsibilities More data owner participation in TDM data cleanup Increase engineering support for resources, schedule, and training 20

  21. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 2: I-deas to NX Ares I program 15 design engineers and drafters Standup TcEngineering NX manager and NX 5 Content migrate Ares I data New TcEngineering WIP workflow Release to ePIC process Program Identifier attribute NX drawing templates NX and TcEngineering Training 21

  22. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 2: I-deas to NX • Issues • Tight schedule • Resources • Content Migration Manager (CMM) • Program Identifier attribute • JT and CGM generation 22

  23. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 2: I-deas to NX • Successes • Went live January 28, 2008 • NX and TcEngineering NX manager implementation • 90% CMM success rate without part repair • Siemens CMM assistance and future training • ATK provided TcEngineering training • Configuration server implementation 23

  24. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADCase Study 2: I-deas to NX • Lessons Learned • Early Ares I support improved project execution • TcEngineering NX manager = greater user satisfaction • Better defined requirements and tasks for Siemens • CMM requires training • Post CMM part repair is not trivial  • More proactive post go-live support 24

  25. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADFuture Approach and Migrations Migration to NX and TcEngineering Include Tooling in program migration All new and most existing programs I-deas TDM migration to TcEngineering Some legacy programs Future Enhancements Automated TcEngineering and ePIC integration TcEngineering 4-tier architecture Teamcenter (unified architecture) and Aerospace and Defense template preparation 25

  26. Teamcenter Engineering in support of multi-CADSummary I-deas TDM to TcEngineering and NX Challenging Siemens support Customer mixed reviews Summit is in sight One program in TcEngineering I-deas manager Two programs in NX and TcEngineering, third in work Developed ATK project team Defined migration process and roadmap 26
