Background – Windchill

As envisioned by Intercax, the Digital Thread is composed of inter-model connections between models in different repositories, which Syndeia creates and manages, and intra-model connections between elements in the same repository, which the individual tool creates and manages.

Figure 1 shows a tree view of this information, with labels identifying the Windchill element types.

Other Container element types include Libraries and Projects.
