The architecture required to support the integration of Solid Edge Simplified Assemblies into the Teamcenter managed environment is complete in ST6. Solid Edge uses a form to capture the existence of a simplified assembly and attaches it to the Solid Edge Assembly Dataset. Existing Teamcenter managed documents that contain simplified assembly data are updated the next time they are checked out and subsequently saved to Teamcenter.

Solid Edge performance benefits from the existence of a simplified representation of an assembly when you are working with complex or large assemblies. Solid Edge Embedded Client is expected to expand the architecture enhancements in ST6 in a future release to include the same benefits when Teamcenter product structure is expanded or the configured Item Revisions are downloaded.
