I have an FTA tree with a repeated "undeveloped event". After researching and entering the correct failure rate, I would like to change all instances to "Basic Event", however, the Gate/Event Type column is grayed out.
Thanks,

Resource needed for the entry information about the Part Stress Anaylsis of WQS Prediction
Hello Experts,
We are having difficulty to fill some parametrs in part information that will be used in Part Stress Analysis in Windchill Quality Solutions Prediction module in accordance with MIL-HDBK-217F.
For example when we add a part into library it is asking information for parameters as you can see below picture, but we do not have enough experince. We read the Practitioner's Guide and we note that the meant of the all data of the part but we don't discriminate between which one related the circuit operating value and which one related the component base.

different duty cycles for parts in an assembly
Hello everyone,
for a system I'm modeling in WQS right now, I have the situation that some assemblies of the system contain parts with different duty cycles. Those duty cycles should be considered for calculating the failure rate of the assembly. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work as I want to. I have an easy example for what I mean:
In this example the failure rate of the assembly "3" should be 1,5 and not 2,0 as calculated since one of the parts (Part "3.2") just has a duty cycle of 50%.
I know that you can control the effect of the duty cycle on the failure rate via the calculation model of the highest level assembly in the system. I have tried all the calculation models but as I can see there is only two options: The duty cycle of the assembly affects the failure rate or the duty cycle has no effect at all on the failure rate. Is there any way to set the system tree up so the duty cycles of the parts themselves affect the calculated failure rate?
Thanks and best wishes,

How to determine the number of unique part numbers site wide in Windchill?
Hello all,
In order to support a business decision, I have need to determine a unique count of drawings, parts, and assemblies. PTC support has offered the following sql query, but the numbers don't agree with advanced search results in the Windchill interface using the following search:
| Criteria: | Type=CAD Document;Number=*.prt;Iteration=Latest;Revision=Latest; |
Context=All Contexts
The sql PTC support suggested was:
select count(*) from epmdocument;
This gives total number of Creo Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings.
select count(*), mas.doctype from epmdocument epm, epmdocumentmaster mas where epm.ida3masterreference=mas.ida2a2 group by mas.doctype;
This cagetorizes into Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings.
Anyone have any experience with a similar objective?
Thanks again all.

MPMLink New Part Not Reading OIR
10.1 M040
Hi Everyone,
I am really struggling with this issue and I cannot figure out why it is happening. I have a soft type of WTPart called SCPart. I have an OIR for SCPart at the Org level. When I create a SCPart within the PDMLink UI, the OIR is read correctly and all attributes (lifecycle, team template, etc.) are filled in correctly. However when I open the MPSE from a Product container and select File->New Part, the OIR doesn't seem to be read and the attributes are not filled in. I only see blank textboxes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Patrick Williams

EU RoHS substances per Directive 2015/863 amending Directive 2011/65/EU -Phthalate
What's the plan for a spec release for RoHS substances per Directive 2015/863 amending Directive 2011/65/EU to cover below. We already have customers asking to comply with this.
Substance Category | Threshold Limit |
Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) | 1000 ppm per homogenous material |
Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) | 1000 ppm per homogenous material |
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) | 1000 ppm per homogenous material |

REACH June 2015 SVHC - Verdict error in WPA
Reach SVHC June 2015 release added two substances for which CAS number is not defined unlike the other substances.
Currently WPA is checking for the string 5-sec-butyl-2-(2,4-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane [1], 5-sec-butyl-2-(4,6-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane [2][covering any of the individual stereoisomers of [1] and [2] or any combination thereof] to determine a PASS or FAIL for the substance.
ECHA as part of the REACH notification has given the below clarification.
Candidate list entry “5-sec-butyl-2-(2,4-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane [1], 5-sec-butyl-2-(4,6-dimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane [2] [covering any of the individual stereoisomers of [1] and [2] or any combination thereof]”, is a group entry covering substance [1], substance [2], any of the individual stereoisomers of substance [1], any of the individual stereoisomers of substance [2], and any combinations of these substances. Therefore, if a part contains only substance [1] or only substance [2], these still fall within this group entry and the Candidate list obligations
apply.
Section 1.2 of the corresponding supporting document provides examples of substances belonging to this group for which a registration or C&L notification is available. The supporting document for this Candidate list entry is available at: http://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/b33a9276-9a0e-4720-87ce-76dc651a6ee6
Table 2 of the same supporting document section provides a non-exhaustive list of examples of substances covered by this group entry.
Suggestion
Based on the above logic, system should be doing the check based on [1] OR [2] and by the presence of ANY one of the substance mentioned in the ECHA release and NOT by the enitir string alone

Current Assignee on Details page of Change Notice/Activity/Request
Is there a way to get the current assignee of a Change task onto the details page of that task. It could be a Change Notice, Change Activity, Change Request, Problem Report, etc. Basically anything that uses a workflow.
Before someone goes there, we have a report that shows the current assignee for Change Notice/Activity task in the system. However, getting to and running this is a lot more clicks (and more clunky) than just doing a search for ECO 12345 and hitting the details page.
I have to assume there would be a way to show this considering I can see who the assignee is simply by going to the Process tab and looking in the 'Tasks for Change Process' table. Again, extra clicks I would eliminate if it's an easy implementation. I realize I would most likely have to make the change to each sub-type individually and then manipulate the layout of each sub-type, but that's just tedious work, not hard work, so I can live with that.

Windchill and SiteMinder software
We are working with SiteMinder so our users will have one less click(what will the folks do with all of that free time!) but because Windchill(PDMLink 10.2 M020) uses the '#' sign as an anchor character, wi have issues when Siteminder authenticates. Users at another NASA have done a workaround to send the authentication to another web page first to translate the '#' sign to a 23 then turn it back to the '#' symbol. Just wondering if there are any folks using siteMinder and have experienced a similar issue. Thanks in advance and Geaux Tigers!

I am facing an issue where importer say's Part in Part structure not found pointing to link object, But when I check the jar,both role A and Role B are present in jar,
Not much details in log and I am clueless .
Has any one came across this issue..? or any idea regarding this...

Windchill Quality Solutions 10.1 - Part Libraries
Hi,
I am a Component Engineer and use Windcihll Quality Solutions for MTBF prediction. One major issue I found is that a number of parts are not available in any of the part libraries.
- When I "check for updates", does it also update for the part libraries? Or do I have to find updates for it otherwise?
- Do they update for the part libraries regularly? How often?
- Is there a way for us to add MPNs along with their MTBF data to Windchill's database if we obtained any from suppliers?
Have you had the same issue and how did you handle it? Please share your thoughts. Thank you very much.

Windchill Prediction question: Prediction not converting NPRD failure rates
I have a Windchill Prediction where I am using reliability data from the NPRD 2011 Parts library. It does not appear to be converting the failure rate based on what environment I specify for the overall prediction.
For example. I am using NPRD-22114, which is a Power Amplifier with a failure rate of 13.991493. The environment for this particular part is N- NAVAL.
The prediction I am doing is for a ground benign environment (GB, GC). The prediction does not convert the failure rate, it is still using the 13.99 value in the overall prediction. Temperature doesn't seem to have an effect, either.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to get the conversion factor done automatically or do I have to add an Mult FR for each part?

How to change the standards calculations
Hi,
I created my system tree in the software, but the failure rate of the assemblies in chain are sum, for example: Assembly 1-> Assembly 2
The FR of Assembly 1 is the sum of assembly 2 and the components associated to Assembly 1. But i don't want this, I need that the FR of Assembly 1 to be just the sum of the components. How can I do that?

Windchill Quality Solutions FIDES application factor and mission phases
Hello,
the FIDES 2009 standard not only mentiones but even emphasizes that different application factors should be connected with different mission phases.
In WQS unfortunately there is no way to do so. This is really a flaw because it is virtually natural that application factors vary with mission phases. Instead, WQS allows application factors only be connected with parts and assemblies.
