To answer your question, first of all you want to configure Windchill Integration with ThingWorx per http://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_hc/thingworx_8_hc/en/#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FComposer%2FIntegrationConnectors%2FConnectorOview.html and in "PTC Windchill® Extension Guide. Make sure to follow note on page 27.

 

Windchill is not a file server so you can't just fetch some file which is in Windchill, you need to make a request to some Windchill REST service that will send XML response you looking for. So first of all you need to find out what is that service you can use. Then you can make a request from ThingWorx to call that Windchill service on the OData Connector thing - more info is in Customizing ThingWorx Navigate 8.5.

 

Note: You actually do not need Navigate ThingWorx module just Windchill extension for ThingWorx but the instructions are in Navigate guide.
