Hello,I am receiving an "Execution Timeout Expired" error in Windchill Risk and Reliability while performing a large-scale analysis/calculation on a complex system architecture.Steps to Reproduce: Open the relevant system tree / project. Run the calculation/report (e.g., Reliability Prediction / FMEA / RBD analysis). After a certain period, the application throws the "Execution Timeout Expired" dialog box (Please see the attached "Error.PNG"). Error Message: "Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."   Thank you for your support.

Hello Experts,We are facing an issue with 2D publishing in Windchill.The user is working in a Creo environment and attempting to publish a 2D representation for a Creo assembly. The assembly contains a few child components that originate from SolidWorks.When the user initiates the 2D publishing process, the publish job fails. We would like to understand whether the presence of SolidWorks child parts within a Creo assembly could be causing the issue and if there are any prerequisites or configurations required to support this publishing scenario.Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Could you please advise on the supported approach and any troubleshooting steps to identify the root cause?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hello everyone,Our team is currently evaluating the integration of ZW3D with PTC Windchill as our PLM system. Before moving forward, we would like to ask the community about the compatibility, integration feasibility, and overall user experience regarding this setup.Specifically, we are curious about the following: Integration Without WGM: Is there a way to connect and use ZW3D directly with Windchill without utilizing the Workgroup Manager (WGM)? If so, what are the available methods (e.g., using specific APIs or third-party connectors) and what are their limitations? Workgroup Manager (WGM) Integration: Is there a dedicated Workgroup Manager or a reliable multi-CAD gateway officially available for ZW3D to connect seamlessly with Windchill? How stable is the data management (Check-in, Check-out, and revision control) for ZW3D files through WGM? Data and Attribute Mapping: Does the system accurately map CAD attributes and metadata between ZW3D and Windchill? Are there any known iss

Hi All,   Being a beginner in windchill, I would like to know about Workflows and Change Process in detail.   Thanks, Riyaz.

The orientation of CAD representation in the Visualization tab in part structure browser and in Creo view is showing upside - down. while it is showing correct orientation when opening in Creo and also in the thumbnails in windchill. Any solution is available for this ?

I have a custom FormProcessor that creates a new WTPart and returns a success banner message. The processor correctly generates the WTPart and its URL, but the banner message displays the URL as <a href="..."> instead of rendering it as a hyperlink.I have tried:Manually constructing the URL and passing it into FeedbackMessage. Passing the generated WTPart inside an ObjectBean and calling super.getSuccessFeedbackMessage(objList).Neither approach results in the OOTB hyperlink behavior seen when creating objects through standard Windchill forms. Also attached partial code. Is there any recommended way to return the created object so that the banner automatically hyperlinks it (similar to standard object creation)?Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. 

Tekla Structural Designer is a CAD solution used in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry to analyse and design steel and concrete building structures.I am looking for companies or solution providers that have realised a Tekla CAD integration with PTC Windchill, or that have experience with similar integrations.The intended goal is to manage the following capabilities in Windchill:CAD file management CAD structure management and bidirectional attribute synchronisation Creation of parts and bills of materials based on the CAD structure and CAD structure properties Exchange of derived data and documentationI would be interested to hear from anyone who has implemented such an integration, knows of available solutions, or can recommend a suitable solution provider.  

Is it possible to add a `Check out and Edit` option either a right-mouse button click or in the Actions pull down within the Affected objects table of a problem report? I didn’t see any options in the task form template…  

Is it possible to complete a workflow task programmatically using Java code?For example, I would like to complete a Change Notice task programmatically rather than through the user interface. Is this supported? If so, could you please provide some guidance on how this can be achieved? Best Regards,Shrikant Bhosle

Hi All,We are experiencing an issue where users are creating releasable documents (RD) by drag and drop a document/file into Windchill PDM. It looks like it is a base functionality of Windchill PDM that when we drag and drop a file into Windchill. it open up a New multiple Documents Window. By default, the document type is RD (releasable document). We want to restrict users to do that. We are looking for an option to either stop/block this functionality at all or the default type should be Reference Material (RM) while drag n drop. Since Releasable document requires a process to complete and includes a lot of mandatory metadata to fill in. We want Windchill system to not allow users to create Releasable document with drag and drop functionality. Happy to provide more details.We have Windchill PDM 13.0.2 version. 

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.0 and Datecode with CPS N/A In Windchill, after I successfully import a translation package, the process runs normally, but the content within the translation baseline corresponding to the translation package still shows as 'translating' instead of 'translated'. This issue does not occur for all translation packages. How can I troubleshoot this problem?

I’ve used WWGM with Solidworks 202X for years with no issues.Recently I’ve been tasked to import a few hundred NX prts into our Windchill “commonspace”.We are on Windchill 12.X.After installing NX, I went to WWGM Application Management and added NX 2312.I see the WWGM tool bar when I launch NX but don’t seem to have a connection toa new workspace I created for this task.Some more information. When I start NX (unlike SW with WWGM) it launches WWGM itself.NX come up and has this message (I click okay with no other choices) “Unable to connect to WWGM. If more than one instance of the authoring application is running, the new one will run disconnected”.Also in WWGM the bottom message bar states “Failed to set workspace local directory” (strange as it works fine for SW).Any ideas?Thank you.

Hello,I'm currently implementing an LLM chat box for Windchill 13.0 and need a secure solution to send a key to an outside service, which will be saved in the session and used to query the Windchill API to gather data. Security context is important, so I need to send a key for the current user. For example, I'm currently sending the wcadmin bearer token for testing purposes.The code for the chat box is in a JSP file, so I need to be able to fetch the key from that context.Thanks!

I am exploring the feasibility of developing a unified REST endpoint that enables the creation of Options and Choices, associates an Option Set with a Product under an Option Pool, and assigns it to a specific configurable WTPart. This endpoint would also facilitate the creation of a Variant Specification. While these actions are currently performed through multiple steps in the Windchill UI, my goal is to streamline the process into a single interface. This would allow users from non-Windchill platforms to access a Product and its associated WTPart, input specific Options and Choices, and generate a Variant BOM accordingly. I seek expert guidance on the feasibility and potential challenges of implementing this approach.

Version: Windchill 13.0   Use Case: Doing wildcard search from a Navigate app by calling WRS endpoints like v7/ProdMgmt/Parts with $filter containing asterisks *. Description: Hello All,   I have a Navigate app, which queries for WTParts, currently $filter-ing by contains(Name, '<query>').   We'd like to extend it so that it supports arbitrary wildcards like "quick*fox*dog". WRS docs suggest we can enable wildcards via PTC-WildcardSearch header, but I don't see how it can be done via Navigate, which doesn't seem to allow me specifying custom headers.   As for now, I thought of working around this issue by and-chaining "contains" clauses and then filtering out false positives on the ThingWorx side. I'll appreciate better ideas.   Thanks, Constantine
