VIEWING


ECTR supports integrated visualization for
dynamic viewing of single components and
assembly groups.

Engineering Control Center – ECTR - supports visualization through
direct integration of 3D viewer functionality in the user interface.
3D data can be viewed interactively also by non-CAD users. Editing
and management of information products such as animations
and illustrations are thus integrated seamlessly into the SAP
management processes.

A major benefit is the option to directly access the CAD models
managed in SAP PLM to create visualizations. These can be
archived in SAP PLM for publishing in various formats or they
can be embedded in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint documents.




Viewing

This provides you with numerous options for using information products, e.g. in the fields:

  • Sales and marketing: For presentations, product brochures, product catalogues, product presentations, product configurations, 3D real time web contents, 3D models embedded in Office and PDF documents
  • Concept, design and engineering: For project reviews, mechanical simulations, process planning, DMU
  • Production and procurement: For mounting instructions, 3D animations, quality management, web sites with 3D models and BOMs, 3D data embedded in Excel lists, parts catalogues, procurement, inventorying, SCM systems
  • Technical documentation: For technical illustrations, drawings, automatic exploded views of complex assemblies, embedded 3D models, SVG and PS export, high-resolution screen data output.
  • Maintenance, support and service: For service procedures, interactive step-by-step animations for dismounting and mounting, repair instructions, operating instructions
  • Training: For training manuals with 3D contents, animations, operating instructions


Visualization in the Engineering Control Center User Interface
The integrated Seemage Player/ActiveX Control is used to visualize the information products in the ECtr Base user interface in a separate 3D viewer window, the visualization context.

The following functions of the Seemage Player are available in the visualization context:

  • Viewing, rotation, zooming of geometry, object hiding
  • High-accuracy measuring of the models
  • Cutting plane definition
  • Provision and saving of geometries with red lines, annotations and markups
  • Animation running
