Drag-n-drop operations for Windchill (WC) Repositories

This section presents a summary of drag-and-drop operations for models managed in Windchill repository. In addition, it provides step-by-step instructions for managing Windchill attributes. Refer to the step-by-step instructions for each model type at the following locations:

  • Windchill parts and attributes - Refer to the Syndeia Tutorials document and this section (especially for Windchill attributes).
  • Creo models – Refer Contents of a Windchill repository on viewing Creo models in Windchill, and this for drag-n-drop details.

W1Anything from the System Model Panel (or Repository Panel)Anything in the Repository Panel (or System Model Panel)ReferenceReference Connection will be created but nothing will be generated.
W2SysML BlockWC ProductModel Transform
  • Windchill part structure (part versions and part occurrences) will be generated based on the SysML block structure in a recursive manner. Part occurrences will be created for each part in Windchill based on the part properties of the corresponding SysML block.
  • Model transform connections will be created between SysML blocks and Windchill part versions.
W3SysML BlockWC FolderModel TransformSame as W2 above. Part will be generated in the target folder.
W4WC Part VersionSysML packageModel Transform
  • SysML block structure (blocks and part properties) will be generated from the Windchill part structure in a recursive manner. Part properties will be created in each SysML block based on the part occurrences in the corresponding Windchill part version.
  • Model transform connections will be created between SysML blocks and Windchill part versions.
W5WC Part (Master)SysML packageModel TransformOperation W3 will be invoked for the latest version of the Windchill part
W6Creo model in a EPM Document VersionSysML packageModel Transform
  • Generates a SysML block structure from Creo model structure, and creates model transform connections between SysML block and Creo models.
  • See this section for viewing Creo models in Windchill, and this for generating SysML block structure from Creo models.
