Research before design begins

  • Requirement: Find existing parts

  • Condition: only about geometric properties without having any model before

Instead of going straight to begin designing, the designer can issue a geometric search in Windchill.

By specifying characteristic parameters such as length, width, number of cylinders, etc., suitable parts can be found immediately.

Since all Windchill functions are available at all times, the designer can make a well-founded decision as to whether a part that has been found can be actually used again.

If searches using parameters are required more often, they can be stored as "saved searches".

These can of course be edited again at any time.

Without CAD, it's just as easy to search for similar models using direct PTC Windchill.
