Question
Dimensional Measurements In Creo Simulate (DID YOU KNOW?)
This is a supplement to:
Article - CS129684 Is it possible to measure distances and other spatial quantities in results window in Creo Simulate.
Complex measurements and comparisons to original CAD are possible through some additional steps.
In simulate results, set the deformed scale to 1.0 and then export the model to VRML format
Change back to Cad side and open the VRML file. This can then be assembled to your master and compared or measurement tools used. Some additional planes, sketches, or 3d curves referencing the VRML vertices may be needed to measure a diameter. This is because the deformed model will no longer have perfect arcs, cylinders, and spheres like the original CAD and so some form of approximation is needed.
