Windchill workgroup managers Agenda Goal Workgroup Manager Structures Benefits Workgroup Manager Interface Demo 1 Viewables and Viewable assemblies Demo 2 Q&A; Discussion 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Goal Userday = USERS! Practical issues Mix of Tell me, Show me Simple example, 2 part assembly Demo using: NX 7.5 (0.32) Creo elements / Pro (m070) Windchill 10 + Workgroup Manager (m020) Creo View MCAD (m020) 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

What is a Work Group Manager (WGM) An interface where designers or suppliers can perform everyday design tasks in their familiar MCAD environment while using Windchill to manage MCAD data throughout its lifecycle Ontwerpers en leveranciers kunnen hun “eigen” CAD data managen in een Windchill omgeving. No more STEP, IGES, DXF, ect 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Application Management Windchill 10 Zichtbaar dat ook PTC producten aan een wgm gekoppeld kunnen worden. Ook Pro/ENGINEER is met een wgm aan Windchill gekoppeld alleen is deze ge-embed in de software zelf; er is een geintegreerde tab in Pro/E 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers WGM Structure Windchill PDMLink (the “Vault”) Creo Parametric / Pro/ENGINEER workspace Windchill Worgroup Manager … NX CATIA Inventor Solid Works Deze setup is toepasbaar als er meerde CAD-applicaties binnen een organizatie zijn. 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

WGM Structure for Suppliers Windchill PDMLink Creo Parametric / Pro/ENGINEER Windchill ProjectLink Creo Parametric / Pro/ENGINEER Windchill Worgroup Manager Data stored on YOUR location. Your lifecycles Your Change management Back up scenario’s Deze setup is toepasbaar als er meerde CAD-applicaties buiten een organizatie zijn. Suppliers … NX CATIA Inventor Solid Works 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Work Group Manager Interface Stand Alone application using local cache, connected to Windchill Offline work is possible! Offline werken aan bestaande parts is mogelijk Geen nieuwe files aanmaken als startparts vanaf de server komen. Cache wordt door user-variabelen gezet op elke gewense locatie op de harddisk 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Interface MCAD, e.g. NX 7.5 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Benefits All data on one location (Intellectual Property on site) WGM engineer uses “your” Way of Working Extremely fast review capabilities through massive assemblies by Creo View Review possibilities for everybody throughout the entire lifecycle Cost savings on importing geometry Cost savings on workstations / Creo Licenses Way of working: Lifecycles, Revision schemes, Attributes, Lifecycles, Change Management Everybody with a Windchill account 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

What’s Required client side? MCAD Software WGM to be installed on local CAD workstation Windchill ”heavy” license Access to “your” Windchill environment Training Creo View 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

What’s Required server side? CAD Worker for Windchill for file conversion MCAD software Creo View Lite Creo View MCAD for advanced features Design Check Interference Check Assembly possibilities Animations Color assignments …. 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill Parts (WT Parts) Windchill parts are used to setup product structures CAD files are only a part of a product structure CAD structure is eBom, electroninc BOM Windchill structure is sBOM, service BOM, met documenten, specificaties, E-BOM, etc 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Demo 1 Create Pro/E part, Check-In; auto associate WT-Part Create NX part, Check-In; auto associate WT-Part Make small modification to show Windchill behaviour New Item Upload Check web client Check In Create assy Assemble component 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Creo Elements / Pro Create geometry in Pro/E; note CSYS Geometrie ligt in het negatieve XY vlak 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Creo Elements / Pro 5.0 Use File, Check-In, Custom Check-In to create viewable file from Creo Elements / Pro Auto Associate parts to create WT-part in the Check-In dialogbox, NEXT Waarom? Gebruik pro/e om een viewable te maken, dit scheelt demo tijd. Normaliter wordt dit gedaan door de CAD worker op de Windchill server Auto associate parts om viewables samen te stellen 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers UGS NX 7.5 Create geometry in NX; note CSYS Geometrie ligt in het positieve XY vlak 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers UGS NX 7.5 Use File, Check-In, Custom Check-In to create viewable file from NX 7.5 Auto Associate parts to create WT-part in the Check-In dialogbox, NEXT Waarom? Gebruik NX om een viewable te maken, dit scheelt demo tijd. Normaliter wordt dit gedaan door de CAD worker op de Windchill server Auto associate parts om viewables samen te stellen 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Windchill Actions Upload Check-In Check-Out Undo Check-Out Rename Update Synchronize Alle commando’s zijn nu van toepassing. Wijzig het NX part en save, zie de wijziging en het blauwe plusje 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Demo 2 Create new WT-part, Check-In and add existing WT-Part 1 and 2 Create assembly without MCAD 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Create “review” assy Create WT-Part from Workspace and Check-In Check-in om windchill parts te “connecten” 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Add existing WT-Part Insert Existing 1 Search Insert Existing 2 Result 2 Details Viewable not shown due to CAD-worker 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Final Result Show intersections Show clipping Show colors Show assemblies 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers

Windchill workgroup managers Additional Assembly possibilities in Creo View MCAD Interference detection Mark Up mode NX drawings are embedded in viewables Viewables embedded in WT part, not in CAD document 19-9-2018 Windchill workgroup managers
