"Leveraging Visualisation with Windchill"
Michael Rygol, Director, Windchill Product Management

Windchill R6 represents a radical step forward in providing integrated Visualization and Digital Mockup capabilities in a web-based collaboration environment. The presentation will describe:
(1) an overview of the new integration architecture,
(2) visualization of product data from multiple sources into Windchill,
(3) how this interoperates with other Windchill applications (Workgroup Managers, Product Configurator, Meeting Center, etc.),
(4) the visualization of dynamic product structures,
(5) how Windchill users can leverage the new real-time Visual Collaboration capabilities of ProductView throughout their Enterprise,
(6) working with digital mockups in a Windchill environment, and
(7) a summary of best practices.

"Core User Interface Improvements-Drag Handles to Squiggle Trim"
Mike Campbell, PTC

Significant improvements to the capabilities that everyone uses, every day! Come and learn about new ways to create and modify your designs in Release 2001. We're sure these changes will help you do more, faster and easier. They may even be fun!

"Work Well with Others - Connect Your Environment to the Rest of the World"
Sam Dickinson, PTC

From "package replication" to the Windchill Gateway, learn how to collaborate across departments, divisions, and companies from within Pro/INTRALINK.

"Cable Design in a Complex Environment - From Schematics to Manufacturing"
Christian Bresch, PTC

Suffering in the "gap" between the ECAD world and the MCAD world? Have a lot of system interconnect to design in a short period of time? Attend and see the new dedicated diagramming application capable of handling all of your schematics needs. Understand how systems interconnect information can now be controlled and shared in an open, data managed environment.

"Scaleable Simulation - Smooth the Design to Analysis Workflow"
Ken Short and John Buch, PTC

See the new "unified finite element modeling environment" where the same simulation model can be solved using either Pro/MECHANICA or other finite element analysis products without model re-definition. Learn how to create system level analysis models with full associativity to the Pro/ENGINEER geometry model and how to use sub-structuring and super-elements for hierarchical simulation.

"Aesthetic Design"

"What's New in Optegra & EPD. Connect Release 6"
Steve Blakeway, Product Specialist, PTC

"Routed Systems Designer and Large Scale Plant Design"
Mark Simpson

"Managing Heterogeneous CAD Data"
Fredrik Hansson, Director, Windchill Product Management

This session will focus on how to facilitate the collaboration among design teams by managing the heterogeneous engineering information that exists in an engineering workgroup environment. In this session the speaker will discuss ways to store, manage, and secure information generated by diverse engineering authoring tools and how to ensure its availability for reuse by other individuals and applications.
