Windchill Setup

Integrate SimLab with PTC Windchill™.

To integrate SimLab with PTC Windchill™, webjects must be installed on the Windchill server as part of the setup process. Windchill versions up to 11.1 are currently supported.

First, you'll need:
  • A valid Windchill username and password
  • The full URL for the host server, which can be provided by your Windchill administrator

    Example: Host =  http://trwindchill10.altair.com

Note: Use the same host information you would use to access the PDM from your client or web view (the full http address).
To integrate SimLab with Windchill:
  1. Install webjects on the Windchill server:
    1. Copy the webject files, which are located in the SimLab installation folder under the following subfolder:

      \SimLab\$Version\windchill

    2. Paste the webject files to the Windchill installation folder under the following subfolder:

      \tasks\ext

  2. Log in to Windchill as an Administrator.
  3. From the Windchill home page, expand the Navigator.


  4. Go to Browse > Site > Utilities.


  5. Select System Administration > Task Delegate Administration.


  6. Log on.


  7. Go to Create Delegate.
  8. Create the following six delegates:


    Delegate Repository Type Name Source URL Type Identifier Description
    1 com.ptc.windchill HWCheckConnection /ext/HWCheckConnection.xml com.ptc.windchill.ws
    2 com.ptc.windchill HWExpandBOM /ext/HWExpandBOM.xml com.ptc.windchill.ws
    3 com.ptc.windchill HWGetBOMOccurrence /ext/HWGetBOMOccurrence.xml com.ptc.windchill.ws
    4 com.ptc.windchill HWGetRelatedCadDoc /ext/HWGetRelatedCadDoc.xml com.ptc.windchill.ws
    5 com.ptc.windchill HWGetWTPartCad /ext/HWGetWTPartCad.xml com.ptc.windchill.ws
    6 com.ptc.windchill HWQuery /ext/HWQuery.xml com.ptc.windchill.ws
Next, you will need to add a repository.
