NX/Teamcenter Refile

NX/Teamcenter Refile

NX/Teamcenter Refile

(OP)
As a company we have been using Teamcenter and NX for 20 years, but have never done any sort of refile. Is this something that we should be looking at, and what benefits are we likely to see in the way of performance, and/or extra functionality?

If we dont refile are we likely to see serious problems as we upgrade to future releases? We are currently running NX7.5 withn Teamcenter 8.

RE: NX/Teamcenter Refile

Hi,

The purpose of the refile is to upgrade the NX schema in the static legacy data. If lots of schema's (versions of NX) have elaspsed, you will see a small drop off in performnce.

The benefit of upgrading your data is to make use of the new functionality such as JT facets (came in NX5) and lightweight loading (NX7.5) upgrading your data will also make you ready for the new lightweight drawing view functionality.

but..... always trial your refile options on trial data, specific areas to watch are the options to covert mating conditions to assembly costraints.

Cheers,

NXj

RE: NX/Teamcenter Refile

Highly recommend a refile, you will be able to make use of lots of some neat light weight loading tools, even using faceted reps to do entire drawings, however it depends how complex your assemblies and products are as to how much benefit you will get. Be warned though there are huge implications if your company is running multisite architecture as we are (22 sites globally) this has prevented us from running a refile at present and thus we are unable to make use of the lightweight tools.

Best regards
