Hi all, I am currently using Windchill Risk and Reliability version 11.1 I have a few questions which I hope can provide more clarity in my work.Currently, I am working to analyse and produce the most optimal RBD calculation options.Scope: I am looking to analyse the availability and reliability of an electrical system in a time span of 5 years (43800 hours).I would like to know the correct and optimal procedure to input my data for my distribution to account for every equipment. Currently, I have used Expontential Distribution settings for respective equipment that have provided in failure rate and MTBF data.  Currently, the failure rate is being included as failure rate per year, whereas the MTBF is shown in years. Q1)Am I supposed to convert the values into Failure Rate Per Million Hours (FPMH)? Q2) Do I need to adjust the distribution into Normal, Lognormal, Weibull, Rayleigh, Uniform. Time Independent or Constant Time variable? Is there a respective settin

Creo version: all versions are affectedWe have noticed that some users are unable to open Creo through the Netskope Private Access service, while others can. All policies and private app definitions are identical.The application becomes unresponsive, and users must force-close the window to stop the process.The only difference between the two groups appears to be the Wi-Fi provider they are using.Users who connect successfully and consistently are using an iPhone hotspot, while those experiencing unstable or failed connections are using home/office Wi-Fi or an Android hotspot.The issue is reproducible when testing with the same user across different Wi-Fi sources.Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: I need to export the assembly data with the children to local drive without opening it in Creo or without adding it to workspace.Description: I don't see any option to export from Windchill directly to local drive without adding the assembly to your workspace first. Is there anyway or tool or some method to export cad data from Windchill directly to your local drive? Windchill 12,1

Hi All,I’m trying to find out if it’s possible to create a new exploded view and adjust the positions of the components.I’ve created a mapkey to generate a new view, and that part works fine. However, I’m having trouble figuring out how to move the components. I don’t have access to the full toolkit, so I’m looking for creative ways to accomplish this.Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.4.0Can not mirror part along the plane properly in assembly if selected "Reuse existing model". Works ok if selected "Create a new model". Just toggling that option creates parts in two different locations

Hello,I am currently working with Creo Parametric (Educational Edition version 11) and encountered an issue regarding the default file-saving location. After creating a few models, I found that files were being saved to C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\Documents instead of the folder I selected in This PC\Documents. To resolve this, I moved all the Creo files from OneDrive to a new folder located at C:\Users\<username> and updated my working directory settings in Creo accordingly.After doing so, I deleted the OneDrive folder from C:\Users\<username>. However, when I relaunched Creo, I received error messages (image uploaded), even though everything appears to be working properly—I can create new models and edit existing ones without issues.Could you provide guidance on how to fix this issue or if there's anything I missed in the process? Should I expect any future problems as a result of these error messages, or is this something I can safely ignore?Thank you for your tim

I am trying to write out the correct If statement that would calculate the Fb value depending on the user selected C value for whichever conservation criteria they choose. I have defined Fy and C and this Fb calculation would be down below this area to feed into further calculations in the document. EDIT: This is in Prime 11.0

Hello, beginner here! Can someone please help and tell me how I can generate a table or vector for my values a_hoch and a_l? I want Mathcad to calculate a_l dependent on a_hoch for different a_hoch. Is there any possibility Mathcad can do that so that I dont have to type everything individually?So in the picture a_hoch is 460. But I also want solutions for 461, 462, 463, and so on... I hope someone can help me. Thank You in advance! 

My company is changing how we do manuals.  We are currently making them in Adobe InDesign and we are looking to go to Arbortext DITA2.0 utilizing a bookmap and ditafiles/images stored in folders in Windchill.But, I can never seem to get the images to work right in Arbortext.  The best that I can get is blue text that looks like a link, but not the actual image itself.Our manuals have repeated use of safety icons, and hundreds of images.Creating the manual outside of Windchill in a local environment works fine. I assume it is something I am overlooking. Thanks,John

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.3My current PLM configuration is using basic authentication (APACHE, OPENDJ & Windchill PDMLink). I have been requested to use mTLS login and authentication method. mTLS is configured and working. I now need to map Apache mTLS authentication attributes to OPENDJ / PLM user attributes. Where can I find documentation or explanation describing how to proceed ?

I am a student at the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Robotics (FIIR) at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. I have a license from my school, it is valid but creo 12.4.0.0 does not recognize it, i have removed it once and reinstalled it. Please help me.    

This is my first independent attempt at a dynamic mechanism analysis.I have four horizontal sliders on a slide base that has a dove tail groove down the middle.The sliders have a rectangular shape, with straight plane faces, and are all 100 mm wide.The first slider is a servo motor, start position 0 and the end position is 900.Sliders 2, 3, 4 have start positions 200, 400 and 600 respectively, and end position 900.Distance between sliders is 100 mm.I have set Collision Detection to Global Detection and to Push Objects upon collision. My starting problem was establishing the proper 3D Contacts between the four sliders, and I made a mess of it in the end.Out of sheer desperation I added masses to all sliders (picked steel in the end, as I had a lot of problems with brass, for unknown reasons) and I fumbled with Damping = 80, Young’s modulus = 2e6 to 5e6 and Poisson = 0.30 (without really understanding how these really work).This is one of the error messages from that stage:"The prop
