第四代设计（4GD）管理系统的优势

4GD has several advantages over previous generations of data management systems:
! Y, [) O: b7 \3 m8 P1 q• Flexible organization of design data
0 C* |3 S. z' u. yThe collaborative design content can change dynamically as the design evolves.
5 \: z8 {: ]/ M$ Z% N9 Z7 LDesigners are not limited to viewing the product in predefined subassemblies.
. k2 P4 h% E* e* M9 y1 s! q• Independent lifecycles
9 J( R. Q6 P; f4 D: a4 }Each design element has its own lifecycle. You are not limited by the lifecycle
of traditional assemblies. Each design element has its revision and status.
Likewise, the CAD design owns its position and geometry.

4 c8 g8 q  r" }% vBecause there is no concept of a structure, very large data sets can be managed
efficiently . Teamcenter loads collaborative designs much more quickly than
traditional assemblies.
• Minimal data locking
Designers check out only the design elements they need. To reposition a design
