Windchill, Is it PDM or PLM

[SB_10566278]

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.0.0

Hi,

I have very basic question about windchill.

If windchill is PLM tool then why it is called as PDM link.
Suppose if I installed only windchill PDM link then windchill is considered as PDM tool?

Best Regards,

Windchill is the underlying platform enabling the PLM process. On top of this you can have different modules like, PDMLink, MPMLink, PartsLink and supplier management and so on. PDMLink provides you with core data management capabilities like CAD data management, document management.  Remember PDM is a sub-set of PLM. You can check the Windchill PLM capabilities and features here. also refer this discussion here.

Hope this helps

It means

Windchill PLM = PDMLink + MPMLink + SUMA Module + PartsLink +ProjectsLink + etc...

Windchill PDM = PDMLink

If only PDMLink is installed without any other links then consider windchill as PDM tool

Is my understanding correct?
