PTC Windchill RV&S is our well-performing MBSE tools of choice in rapid changes
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
There is a group of engineers that work on the interface to validation preparation and validation. They are in need of tools that connect their systems and software. They need to organize and manage their requirements, models, codes, and tests. PTC Windchill RV&S supports and allows to manage complete trackability of activities on the whole software life cycle. The software allows for improved strategy finding and optimization in end-to-end scenarios. There is room for cross-discipline collaboration. The client-server architecture is comfortable and allows for several well-introduced strategies and rigorous control. PTC advertizes PTC Windchill RV&S 12.3 as a flagship for PLM. We agree that the software package is complete for our needs and we are very satisfied with the in our company well-introduced methodologies. We are addicted to the transparency and thorough-going processes implemented. We find it guiding and prefer to follow the included best practices. The software allows us not only to organize all our validation activities it favors the control and initiation. We start better, are better in performing tasks in sole responsibility and collectively. We have comfortably adapted and customized the best practices. PTC Windchill is well accepted in the outcomes at our customers.
Pros
- Helps to advance carefully through complicated and delicate process hives.
- Improve thereby our time-to-market knowledge transfers along our portfolio.
- Enhances the performances of single step in processes as well as the processes.
- Allows for unprecedented overview in broads and in depths.
Cons
- Decent inspecificiencies give reason for double efforts emotions.
- The software replaces activities feedback to in computer alone.
- As usual certain processes can not be modeled with such software per default.
- There is the danger that steps might not be performed at all that were considered necessary before.
Likelihood to Recommend
We enjoy doing requirement mappings. The enhancement in transferring them between models is great. It is for innovation all the time a challenge to conduct them. We have two major scenarios for that task set. One is to integrate already well-validated models into greater sets. The other is defining totally new ones. We developed new strategies and refined the existing ones. We rate the synching requirement configurations as comfortable. The processes of synching the items back to the models. The major advantage is to optionally synchronize all-important and intended traceability relationships from Modeler so that both can be given the correct right the right group of uses while others only see the structures. We too prefer the handling of deletion and creation. It is a real advantage how the mapping and relation are implemented. The implemented integration to third-party tools for requirements definition and management is a plus. We like the profiling features and the high compliance to industrial standards as well as the module variability modeling.Windchill RV&S makes us perform better and let us take over control. It enhances our return-of-investment efficiencies to the top. The only drawbacks are the high skill levels needed and the necessary relation in businesses to make the profits. Another topic is the resources that are needed.
