Thanks to<strong> QuickView<\/strong>, visualisation is smoother and faster.<\/p><p>With the dynamic positioning capabilities of Windchill Smart Platforms, designers can also create a platform architecture that defines the interface across an entire product structure.<\/p><p>Variants can be created and visualised directly, without the need to create multiple copies in <strong>CAD<\/strong>. This saves valuable time.<\/p><p>Users can take advantage of these multiple enhancements to visualise, synchronise and extend the flow of information between engineering and manufacturing. MPM&#8217;s new QuickView mode enables very large structures to be viewed directly in manufacturing planning environments.<\/p><p>In addition, the new automatic<strong> BOM transformation capabilities<\/strong> use user-defined rules. This means that updates can be reviewed more easily.<\/p><p>This thirteenth release also simplifies the regulatory submission process for the medical device industry.
