Using PTC Windchill and PTC Creo for Creating

Objective
© 2014 PTC
Platform/Variant
Development can be
done with PTC tools
today!
4
Value for You
© 2014 PTC
Learn approaches and techniques
to apply in your company
• Become more efficient in managing platforms
and developing variant products
• Become more efficient in using PTC tools
5
What’s the Problem?
© 2014 PTC
We use separate BOMs for each Variant
• No Centralized Platform
Definition – Organize CAD, BOMs, Logic,
Digital-Mockup, Docs
• Variant Definition – ‘Save As’ to create separate
BOM for each variant
• Difficult to Validate and
Maintain – Not scalable
– Major update effort
6
What’s the Problem?
© 2014 PTC
Our Platform is in Creo • Platform contained in
Design Department – Sharing with enterprise?
• Different approaches to
capture optionality – Simp Reps, Interchange
Assemblies, Family
Tables…
• Disconnected from
BOM
• Disconnected from
Business Logic – Business logic is elsewhere

Create Configurable Architecture Objects in Windchill
Create a Configurable Product object
Select Create CAD Document to create Configurable Product
CAD model simultaneously
If desired, classify the configurable module and
product part objects in Windchill by using PartsLink
Assign the configurable product CAD object template
You can simultaneously create Part
& its associated CAD Document
from New Part dialog

Define Modular Architecture Objects in Windchill
Create a Configurable Module object
Specify the configurable module template
Set Collapsible attribute as Yes. This ensures that the
configurable module will not create a new part in the structure during variant creation and thus
will be consistent with Creo Parametric behavior

In earlier steps a configurable part structure is
created with associated ‘Owner’ Creo models, but
no CAD structure exists. In order to create a CAD
structure, user needs to perform Set for Build

Assigned Choices to Module Variants in Creo Parametric model tree
If the Creo model is not uploaded in Windchill
or new in workspace then for that model
Options and Choices will not available for the
assignment. Good practice is to upload newly
created Creo models in Windchill and then
assign choices.
