Tecnomatix Softwarearchitecture Workshop

Design a Softwarearchitecture for a Tecnomatix Process Simulate Plugin

Environment Variables

To speed up development we introduce some environment variables. We will use these variables to configure our development environment.

To get a direct acces to the eMPower directory we add a env variable named EMPOWER.

# Tecnomatix 2206
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('EMPOWER','C:\Program Files\Tecnomatix\Tecnomatix_2206.0\eMPower')

To start Tecnomatix Process Simulate from our IDE we add a env variable which points to the Tune.exe.

# Tecnomatix 2206
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('TECNOMATIX','C:\Program Files\Tecnomatix\Tecnomatix_2206.0\eMPower\Tune.exe')

This enables us to start Tecnomatix Process Simulate from the IDE without introducing a tight coupling to the installed version of Process Simulate.

We have two ways to reference the Tecnomatix SDK in our projects:

Direct Referencing the Dll's
Using Nuget Package Manager (This requires more infrastructure effort since Siemens PLM doesn't provide a Nuget Package for there SDK.)

You can map specific SDK Version to a Drive for instance Z like this:

subst z: "C:\Program Files\Tecnomatix\Tecnomatix_2206.0\eMPower"

You might map additional SDK Version to other drives and switch between the references with different Build Configurations.

Create a Nuget Package from the Tecnoamtix Dll's and push it on a local feed.

Resources used to create the content of the workshop.

This list will be completed as soon as possible.
