The Solid Edge Embedded Client(SEEC) enables design informationcreated in Solid Edge to be captured,controlled and shared in a single, highlysecure cPDM environment. SEECversion management and accesscontrol capabilities ensure that theright people in your enterprise get theright information at the right time.

By using SEEC, design teams canquickly search and access Solid Edgeparts, assemblies and drawingseliminating time otherwise wastedtrying to find and share design information. SEEC also reduces the need for extensive change ordersby ensuring that everyone is working from the latest design information.

SEEC capabilities go beyond workgroup CAD data management, enabling design teams at differentlocations and suppliers across your supply chain to leverage multi-site collaboration to facilitatecommunications and streamline your product development process.

Transparent user interface and synchronized releasesSEEC provides seamless and transparent connectivity between Solid Edge and Teamcenter:• Solid Edge dialogs that handle file operations, such as the File Open dialog, are enabled to directlybrowse Teamcenter vaults. Solid Edge documents are automatically filtered and displayed usingTeamcenter attributes such as Item ID. An alternative bill of materials (BOM) view convenientlylists file dependencies within an assembly, as well as the relationships between the parts orassemblies and their associated drawings.
