Hi all, this is my first experience with the software. I am currently learning the functions and utilities of the Windchill RBD. At the calculation page, I have been enabled Monte Carlo Simulation method. I am unable to achieve the simulated results. The results page display a message. I am able to obtain the failure rate for this example. It just unable to obtain the MTBF and MTTR of the overall system."All availabilities are operational availabilities. *Cannot be operated because the system will enter a failed state where it cannot be repaired"I read some of the guides including Getting Started Guide. I was still unable to comprehend the error that I encountered. Appreciate the guidance and cheers.https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Windchill-Fault-Tree-Analysis-questions/m-p/383375#M44847

Hello,I'm trying to establish a validation mechanism for the Part Creation process. I have an attribute (Attribute1), that somehow should filter the valid options for the Part Classification tree. Specifically, I need to ensure that the selection made in the "Attribute1" dropdown aligns with the chosen value(s) in the Classification Tree. Although I understand Classifications don't inherently support cascading attributes, I'm looking for a method to achieve this cross-validation.I am aware that Windchill 12 allows you to create a namespace to manage the Classification tree by type/subtype, which already filters some of the Classification nodes, but it does not complete the validation I am looking to achieve. Any thoughts on how to implement this validation given the limitations of cascading attributes in Classifications? Has anyone solved a similar problem before?

Version: Windchill 13.0 Use Case: How does the SiliconExpert Synch extension handle mapping when the field in Windchill is a list with predefined values, and the corresponding field in SiliconExpert contains text? Does the mapping process match the text to the predefined values in Windchill, or is there another method used?Description: Specifically, if there is a field like REACH in both Windchill and SiliconExpert, and I map and synchronize this field, will the value from SiliconExpert be written exactly the same way in Windchill?Additionally, what happens if the field in Windchill is a list with predefined values, and the value in SiliconExpert is text? How does the mapping process handle this scenario?

Version: Windchill 12.1 Use Case: Is there a method to track the deletion history of effectivity in WTPart? For instance, if I have a WTPart A and initially set 'xyz' as its effectivity, but later someone deletes this effectivity and either sets a new one or leaves it empty, is there a way to identify who performed the deletion? Thank you, PravinDescription: Is there a method to track the deletion history of effectivity in WTPart? 

Version: Windchill 13.0 Hi everyone, I found a reference in the ptc support explaining that it’s possible to retrieve Primary End Items in Windchill using REST API by filtering on WCTYPE|wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct as typeId and selecting productReference. However, I’m not sure what the exact endpoint is to call in order to retrieve this data.Link: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS271349Could someone please share a concrete example of the full REST endpoint (including base path and entity name), ideally with $select or $expand usage if applicable?

Windchill 12.0.2.13Tried approach:1. I have a custom workflow in which, through an expression, I obtain the attribute(of primary business object) that holds user value. For this user, the reporting manager(type: WTUser) is retrieved from the AD. 2. A workflow variable 'supervisor' of type WTUser is created and the WTUser value obtained in step-1 is assigned.3. In the workflow activity(Participants tab --> Variables section), the 'supervisor' variable is defined as 'Assignee'. Expectation: Task, if generated successfully, should be assigned to the 'supervisor' user. However, on the task page, the variable appears as a dropdown and the task is assigned to the admin. Workflow expression robot to assign Supervisor value:try {wt.doc.WTDocument doc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) primaryBusinessObject;ext.tools.iba.IBAUtility flsIBinst = new ext.tools.iba.IBAUtility ();String attUserValue = (String)flsIBinst .getAttributeValue(doc,"flsUserId");ext.util.ADUtil ADUtilinst = new ex

Hi, we are having a problem with our Promotion Request workflow. Sometimes we come across a situation where at first only WTParts are added to a Promotion Request as Promotion Objects:  We use "Pending Approval" state to lock objects that are added to Promotion Requests so that they are not edited during the review process (because the promotion process seems to be unable to refresh the latest iteration automatically to the PR). At this point the WTPart is moved to that state. Then when the Promotion Request is later edited and the related CAD documents are added to Promotion Objects, the WTParts drop out of the Promotion Objects because they are in the "Pending Approval" state, which we are not allowing to be promoted:   Now at this point the WTPart gets stuck to "Pending Approval" state even though it is not in the Promotion Request anymore:  And someone with Admin or Product Manager access needs to now go and use Set State to change

Hello, I have the below list of requirements for which I am considering to make use of Part Request object.i)  A workflow process is required where different tasks for the teams are triggered.ii) Different teams edit the Part Request and enrich the part informationiii)Teams should only be able to edit/update fields corresponding to them. Example: Mechanical team when trying to edit the Part Request, should only be able to enter values for attributes corresponding to Mechanical Department.ii)Parts should not be created in the system until the enrichment by different teams are completed But in Part Request I see limitations with layouts as it cannot be customized. As an alternative way, I am planning to add new actions under Part Request Actions tab where different teams will see an Edit-like option to enter the attributes corresponding to them. I was hoping to get a new perspective on this and how one shall go about the implementation of a custom wizard with specific
