Hi

Windchill (formally "Foundation") was historically the "high end" solution for large company

and PDMLink a pre configured solution

Now Windchill is more the solution brand.

and PDMlink the PLM module of the solution (Doc, CAD, Part, BOM, change management)

MPMLink is the manufacturing module (mBOM, routings, etc ...)

[HugoHermans]

Supplementary to the reply of Gregory, based on the Windchill Technology you have several 'Links', all specific solutions ready to be used: PDMLink as PLM-solution, ProjectLink as project-extension for PLM, SupplierLink, MPMLink, PartsLink, RequirementsLink, ...

Hi,

By using pdmlink we can customize the any pdm systems like windchichill (instead of using windchill api directly).

is this correct ?.

Think you are missing the point a little here, PDMLink is not a customization tool or application development tool for Windchill, but is the PDM element of Windchill.

Or in other words:

PDMLink = Windchill

ProjectLink= Windchill

MPMLink = Windchill

they just cover different areas of PLM, the group name of which from PTC is Windchill.

Cheers

The same is Windchill

Windchill can contain

• PDMLink
• ProjectLink
• PartsLink
• MPMLink
• ...
