Using Inventor with Siemens Teamcenter.

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am new to Inventor Api programming, so kindly help me with following queries.

 

I have searched a lot, and found that Inventor API does not interact with Teamcenter Integration and has no way to control it (considering that Teamcenter is not an Autodesk product). My query is, is there any workaround to open AI component from teamcenter in Inventor (such as *.ipt, *.idw) 

via api or any other method. 

 

Integration of Teamcenter with Inventor is not much supportive of trying new tricks.

 

I am using Autodesk Inventor 2015. 

 

regards

Yes, it is not often at all that 2 independent programs speak with eachother.

That is where programming comes in; so you can pass information between the 2 applications. You need to initialize and connect to both inventor API, and Teamcenter API or have some intermediate (such as excel workbooks) and perform your needed functions that way.

Yes, there is ways through API to do almost anything that you would want to do manually - It just may take complicated algorithms.

Hello Justin

 

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I am looking for a sample of code, where Inventor Teamcenter integration workaround is available. Can you post/share some links where I can find some. ?

 

 

thanks and regards

No. You need to look up API for TeamCenter. We don't use it so I am not
going to use my time learning it to make a sample for you.

Hi Vivek,

Have you found any good response/workaround on this? I'm facing same dilemma. Seems to be the case that Teamcenter integration doesn't have an API.
