CAD, CAE, and PLM software integrations
For Windows clients, MI Materials Gateway is supplied as a single software distribution package that includes the Gateway integrations for all supported CAD, CAE, and PLM host applications. For Linux clients, MI Materials Gateway is supplied as a separate software distribution package for each host application.

| Teamcenter with NX |
Teamcenter 2312 with NX
Teamcenter 2406 with NX:
|
In all Teamcenter environments, Teamcenter must be installed as part of an integrated Teamcenter-NX system. MI Materials Gateway must be installed on the same client machine as the Teamcenter Rich Client software. NX must be installed on the same machine, and all Gateway users must have access to the NXPRT100 license bundle. NX part files should be stored in Teamcenter as Teamcenter part objects. |
| Windchill |
12.1, 13.0, 13.1. |
Interoperability between MI Materials Gateway for Windchill and MI Materials Gateway for Creo is supported where both Gateways are the same version. If the Creo and Windchill Gateways are different versions, interoperability is supported provided they are installed on different client machines. |
When you install MI Materials Gateway on a Windows client using the Setup Manager, you are prompted to select the integration that you require (your host application and version). If you have more than one host application on the same client machine, you can install Gateway integrations for each host application.
For the majority of supported host applications, if you have more than one version of the host application running on the same machine, then you can install a Gateway integration for each host version.
Specific constraints apply to the following host applications.
- HyperMesh
-
The software package includes one MI Materials Gateway integration for HyperMesh, that can be used with all supported versions of HyperMesh.
- Teamcenter with NX
-
The software package includes separate integrations for each supported combination of Teamcenter and NX.
On any Teamcenter client, you can install the MI Material Gateway integration for each supported version of Teamcenter, but you cannot install multiple Gateways for the same Teamcenter version.
- Windchill
- The software package includes a MI Materials Gateway integration per supported Windchill version. You cannot use MI Materials Gateway with more than one version of Windchill on the same client machine.
