• Rollout successful w/o significant issues
• 8 x Performance increase of key steps compared to previousTeamcenter CAE PIM solution
– Initial „Overhead“ for CAE Data Management of BIW CAE model is
close to 0
– Overhead is more than offset by downstream benefits
• Technology still evolving
– Configuration (Data Model, Key PLM Behaviors) is stable
– TCSim “Tool Set” improving, 2 releases / month since April
– Improvements realized in Teamcenter 8.3, planned for Teamcenter 9
and beyond

Summary & Outlook
December 10, 2010Page 22
• Efficient, global SDM implementation in place.Key success factors :
– Business driven development approach
– Full integration with PDM solution, small extra IT effort
– Use Out of the box, uncustomized solutions where possible
– CAE s/w integration provides user efficiency gain of initial solution
– Ground up scoping, implementing CAE model build solution first and growing to
wider process steps gradually
• 2011 Extension Plans
– Deployment to full vehicle level model build
– Develop solution for Analysis managment and Analysis automation
– Test / CAE Data correlation
