JT Files for part family members
(OP)
I have created part family in NX integrated with teamcenter. How to add JT (Direct model) files to the family memebrs?

Purpose is:
1. To see the preview of member in TCE without opening NX.
2. In case if only JT file is created only for Template part, whenever engineer search particular family member in Teamcenter will not able to see preview in JT preview window.

File -> Options -> Save Options...
...so that the option to 'Save JT Data' is toggled ON, as you add a Part Family member to an Assembly, as the the family member is saved a JT version of the part family member will be created in the same location as the family member is found. At least that the way it works in Native Mode. I can't speak for how this would work in Teamcenter.
However, this idea that somehow you need to have a JT 'representation' inside a part file, that is not how NX works. While it is true that you can OPEN a .JT file as a .prt file, there is no way it 'import' a JT model into an existing Part file. Besides, if what you say is the reason for you even wanting JT's of the part family members in the first place, so that they can be previewed using the 3D visual tools of TC, having separate external copies is all that you need.
