I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.0 and Datecode with CPS M010Critical vulnerability (CVSS10.0) in its Windchill and FlexPLM products. Want to add the immediate remediation steps but don't understand instructions.Currently have "D:\ptc\Windchill_12.1\HTTPServer\conf\conf.d\30-app-Windchill-Auth.conf" file. Do I simply create the new 90-app-Windchill-auth.conf and ONLY put the entry that was sent in the remediation or do I copy the 30-app file renaming to 90-app and have all of my configuration settings plus remediation??? Some of the replies to this topic were published during the recent read-only period.

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: Hello, We are running **PTC Windchill 13 with **SolidWorks 2024 integration. Visualization files are generated through WVS using a SolidWorks worker. We are trying to optimize publishing load and would like to change the publishing strategy slightly. Our lifecycle is approximately: Concept → Prototype In Work → Prototype Released → In Work → Under Review → Released → Obsolete Goal During normal design work (In Work), every CAD check-in generates the visualization viewable (Creo View / PVZ). When the design leaves the In Work phase, the geometry should no longer change. Therefore the last check-in in In Work would effectively be the final viewable generation. After that point: the existing viewable representation should remain attached to the CAD document / WTPart it should simply carry forward to the next lifecycle states Later, when the object is promoted to Released, we only want to generate the final deliverables: PDF (drawing) DXF (if parameter DXF

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: To use the IFX library in the Creo for the Windchill fasteners and Also want to build standard fasteners library in the windchill from Fasteners available in the Creo IFX library.Description: Want to upload standard fasteners from the Creo IFX library to the windchill and also want IFX to fetch and use the fasteners form the windchill libraries when designer is using IFX tool in the Creo. But in the windchill the custom numbering scheme is configured for the standard parts in the windchill library. so also want to maintain that numbering scheme for the fasteners and they should be used by IFX library in the Creo when designer wants to assemble any fastener in his assembly.What configurations are needed to implement this functionality ? and how to do this ?Also is it possible to map the Creo parameter of the fastener parts directly to the windchill partslink classification attributes ? Versions : Windchill 13.0.2.6 and Creo 11.0.0.0

Dear Team I have installed the student version of Creo parametric with lisence skip option. please help how can i activate the creo for learning.Thanks & regardsManojkumar

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: We might have a requirement that will necessitate us to model the various machine setups of a machine , and use them for the operation as applicable, in the process plan.Description: Apparently, this requirement could be solutioned in many ways. for eg., 1. Use "Configurable Work Center" and use Set up variables captured as Option > Choices, then use the parameters of the process / requirements to give the setup required.2. Use Classification for the work center and pre create the instances of the work centers, with those values.3. OthersIt depends on the number of parameter variables and complexity, which I am yet to see the data. Wanted to hear from you experts on if you had come across such use cases and how was it solutioned.Even before that, I hope that Work center object can work as configurable item. Correct? ThanksHari

Seems to be lack of user involvement. When you setup a Audit Log Purge Schedule task, you can pick options for what to keep. Typically, if you are purging, you want to get rid of older records, keeping only items within some time period. The criteria and frequency should align. For example, what is the point of running a purge of last year with a frequency of every two weeks?  Aside from manual dates run on a one-time schedule, the only ones that make sense would be to purge last year on a yearly schedule or Last month on a monthly schedule. No option if I want to keep last 3 months which would align with a quarterly schedule. Has anyone looked into modifying the Duration drop down for add more options?

I'm trying out the 30-day free trial of Codebeamer, but the administrator menu isn't showing up. I want to invite my colleague to evaluate it with me, but how can I do that? Is this not possible with the free trial version?

I am currently running the trial version of Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0 (I think only a few days left) to evaluate its capabilities for solving multiple equations with multiple unknowns. I want to verify that it will produce the results that I need before purchasing the software.  I have run into a problem getting Mathcad to solve the system equations symbolically. I have looked around the internet for community information on this aspect of Mathcad but have not found anything that addresses my specific topic. The problem to which is seek a solution arises when modeling the impact between two bodies. Using the impulse-momentum formulation of Newton's 2nd law gives me 6 equations and six unknowns with a point mass (no rotational inertia) impacting a point mass. I put this system into Mathcad and used the solve feature and it produced the desired result. My file is attached. You will see that I took the solution equations Mathcad produced and ported them over to calculate the numeri
