When creating a simplified part model from an assembly, Solid Edge or
Teamcenter does not create/bind a .qaf file to the part in Teamcenter. This
means that Teamcenter will not show a thumbnail when you select this part.
Checking the named reference shows no .qaf file.
Solution
Check your Solid Edge templates. The .qaf is only generated when the option
"Store preview" is selected.
To verify the templates, open them in a native Solid Edge session.
Go to File -> properties and verify on the Preview Tab that the checkbox "Store
preview" is selected.
