Product Lifecycle Management and Systems Engineering Lab (PLM-SE Lab)
The PLM-SE Lab deals with issues relating to concepts of product lifecycle management (PLM) and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). On the one hand, product data is to be managed effectively and efficiently over its entire lifecycle and the consistency of the product model is to be ensured through defined processes. On the other hand, MBSE methods are used to make information accessible within the submodels of a product.
In the PLM - SE Lab, methods and tools are made available in an integrated environment in order to provide product information at the right time, in the desired quality and sequence.
The integration of the systems engineering approach offers extended possibilities for describing systems on the basis of the product model. In addition to simple description models with SysML, the MBSE methodology and its tools are used to describe comprehensive system models.
Laboratory offers
- Integrated design review with several CAD workstations and VR
- Visualization of PDM metadata and product structures in VR
-
Development of additional functions in CAx and PDM
- Development of MBSE models
- Integration of MBSE and PLM
- Interfaces from MBSE tools to simulation tools
Laboratory equipment

Our software
For the analysis and visualization of CT and DVT data in various formats, we provide you with a free demo version of our viewer. This enables the import of uncompressed DICOM data, image stacks or RAW data. Isosurfaces can also be generated using marching cubes and exported as STL files.
(Attention: The resolution of the images in the demo is limited to a maximum of 512 x 512 pixels. A maximum of 200 slice images can be loaded simultaneously).
Here you can find a collection of CT sample data: www.volvis.org
KTC Dicom Viewer
Download version 1.0.0.12 (.exe), Download version 1.0.0.12 (.msi)
With the KTC Dicom-Viewer it is possible to visualize slice image data with up to 200 slice images and a size of 512x512, 3D and export them in the form of an STL model. The KTC Dicom Viewer requires .NET framework version 4.0 or higher, Windows 7 (64 bit) or higher and graphics cards with OpenGL version 3.3 or higher.
KTC STL Viewer
Download version 1.0.0.12 (.exe), Download version 1.0.0.12 (.msi)
With the KTC STL-Viewer it is possible to import and visualize point clouds and triangle meshes in .stl and OBJ format. The KTC STL Viewer requires .NET framework version 4.0 or higher, Windows 7 (64 bit) or higher and graphics cards with OpenGL version 3.3 or higher.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us. We will be happy to develop customized software solutions for your specific problem.

Virtual Reality Lab
The Virtual Reality Laboratory deals with the use of virtual reality and augmented reality as components of product lifecycle management. Virtual reality is used to visualize complex spatial structures and thus enables both the visual evaluation of a product (e.g. the design of virtual prototypes) and the simulation of assembly and maintenance processes. Augmented reality is used to link virtual models and information with the real environment. Virtual data is superimposed on the stakeholder's field of vision using mobile glasses systems.
Laboratory services
- Services relating to the conception and creation of VR scenes for product presentations
- Transfer of CAD models into visualization models
Laboratory equipment
Various presentation and input devices are available for experiments in the virtual reality laboratory. A powerwall with front and rear projection technology supports preliminary investigations, especially in large discussion groups. Sophisticated projects can be continued in a 5-sided CAVE. A 3D presentation room for up to 400 people and several AR systems complete the equipment.
