Accessing NX models in Teamcenter using 4-tier Teamcenter rich client.

  1. Set the Teamcenter tier type to FOUR_TIER in the Syndeia settings (section 4.9.3) after installation.
  2. Set FMS_HOME environment variable to point to the tccs folder in your TC rich client installation, e.g. FMS_HOME= C:\Siemens\Teamcenter9\tccs, as shown below.

  3. Set the environment variable UGII_UGMGR_COMMUNICATION with value HTTP, as shown above.
  4. Open a command prompt and type the following to launch NX in managed mode, as shown below. See the screenshot below. Words in <italics> need to be replaced by your specific settings.

    C:\> cd C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 9.0\UGII

    C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 9.0\UGII>

    ugraf -pim=yes -http_url=<Teamcenter_Server_URL> -u=<UserName> -p=<Password>

  5. This should launch NX in managed mode where you can open a NX model from Teamcenter by access the Home folder in Teamcenter, as shown in the figure below.

    If NX is launched successfully in managed mode (you can access Teamcenter from NX), then it implies that your NX and Teamcenter installations are ready to access NX models in Teamcenter using Syndeia.
