Analysis

Hello,I'm trying to export *.gif files from a modal analysis, but the quality is extremely poor. The only available formats are *.avi and *.mpg — which is fine, I can convert them afterward — but the video quality is unacceptable.I don’t understand why I can export simulation images as *.jpeg in absurdly high resolution, yet when it comes to videos, the quality is so low. There are compression artifacts, text becomes unreadable, and any small details in the model are completely lost in a blur of pixels.Is there any way to improve the quality of exported video or gif files? 

I want to calculate the torsional stiffness for my design, So for that I have to determine the value of angle of twist in simulation. Can anyone tell me the procedure to calculate the torsional stiffness or angle of twist in creo simulation.

Hello,I would like to know if annotations can be exported inside of simulate result *.pvs file.We use *.pvs results very ofter but not all people in our company use creo simulate. So when there are many hydraulic cylinders and report doesn't have any reference of which one is which it is pretty hard to find excel reference in *.pvs model.How can i define a note which will be exported to *.pvs file where each hydraulic cylinder will have it's personal note.Expected output: 

Hello community, I've been researching the possibility to plug in the output from Creo Mold Simulation (Warpage & Fiber Orientation) into Creo Simulate. It seems PTC hasn't created that capability and they seem to be suspiciously silent about it, either due to the complexity to implement it or lack of knowledge on how powerful this could be for our design and analysis, as they seem to have everything on hand to add this feature. If someone knows a solution or workaround to use CMA and Simulate together let me know. Thanks!,JD

Hi communityI am interested in simulating the separation of bodies. In effect, I am tearing one body from the other.The two bodies have different materials, and bonded contact between the bodies.I create the separation using displacement constraint. In this situation, the elements continue to be connected between the bodies and do not "disconnect" during the separation process. What am I doing wrong?Does anyone have a recommendation on how to simulate this? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I would like to ask the community about the mesh validation. There is a tool for it in CREO Simulate that is useless for a big simulation models (100000+ elements) it is impossible to turn the model while the mesh is displayed. So is there any feature or tool that will help to hide the valid elements and show only bad elements on the screen. Thank you for the response!

Hello, I've been trying to find those files all around Windchill and my local PC but didn't succeed in that. Where does creo simulate save mesh files?

Here is an overview of Creo Simulate Options (depending on the license type).

Using CFA, I am trying to set the initial condition of a pressure vessel filled with gas at high pressure,set the outlet pressure to atmospheric pressure, and measure the time it takes for the entire vessel to reach atmospheric pressure.The time it takes for the pressure to drop is almost the same as the simulation time (required time).Specifically,if the simulation time is set to 5 seconds, it will take about 5 seconds to reach atmospheric pressure,and if the simulation time is set to 10 seconds, it will take about 10 seconds to reach atmospheric pressure.Is there something wrong with my settings?For example, maybe there aren't enough iterations.I would appreciate some advice on the settings when performing calculations like this.

I am Sangok An, living in Korea.I am trying to compare two steel plates—one with bending and one without—using Creo Simulate Lite (9.09). However, the results show that the plate without bending performs better, which is unexpected, and I am not sure about the cause.Analysis conditions:Material: SUS304Thickness: 6.0 mmFixation: The steel plate is secured to a concrete floor with four bolts.Load: 100 kgfI had attached result and parts,Best your regardss.o.ahn 

Creo 8.0.11 why there isn't the possibility to interrupt a bigger analysis (eg: LDA) to restart it later?Someone may post it into the IDEA section?    

Creo 8.0.11 The usage of "to ground" springs is not supported in non linear analysis but linear one is permitted. So I want better understand the main difference between them. SIMPLE    You can write a function to establish the relation F=k*x. Only one constant for linear and rotation movements; so if I want the point forced not only in 1 direction, I must lay other springs. It required two "supports", two ends that gonna be linked with spring. TO GROUND    You can write a matrix with different direction constants.Only one side of "ends" to specify because the first is obviously the ground and it's not required its specification. ======================================================================================================== QUESTION: Large Displacements Analysis --> why the solver give me an error if I want to replicate a ground sping with a simple spring linked with point and surface?The first one, the "like ground one", is a point external of the

Version: Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0 I am trying to use the updated Manikin models.  When I try to move the manikin model Creo requires that I have access to some of the sub-models.   This makes using the manikin models more challenging.  I can move the manikin model around, but if I try to edit a joint, then manikin requires access to the lower level assemblies.   If all the models are read only, I can't continue.   The manikin model should need to write access to these lower level assemblies. (view in My Videos)  

Hi What parameter in config.pro specifies the template folder path for Creo Simulate?Default Result Windows Templates Thank you all in advance. 

Hi Every one,I am new to Creosim.I am trying to simplify a connection using combination of spring idealisation and contact interface.Two separate parts are assembled with these connections in parallel.When the connection is under compression, we have contact and spring is compressed. When the connection is under tension the contact is released and there is no force for the spring.1. I am not sure if is it possible to have contact between spring end and second part ? Ifound for the contact we need a surface, so do I need to define a surface between spring and second part or it is possible to have contact interface between a point and a body?Because of number of conections I am looking for a quick and easy method. Only I am looking for the force at connection when it is under compression.Any help is appreciated.

Creo 8.0.11 Hi folks, 👇here, my headache... I want to have a fine mesh in a region of this column because I need to insert it into a bigger assembly for a Contact Analysis. I know that "mapped meah" isn't that kind of mesh control that is passed to higher assembly level, but I want to test here to already know how to mesh it in the higher assembly. But I don't know why I can't mesh properly. I also tried to mesh in this manner. It works for the external elements, but I can't be able to make the wedge inside. Do you have any suggestion?  

Hi,I've tried to replace the Ground Springs with simple ones in order to can run also a Large Deformation Analysis.It fails...but I don't know why...  

Hi folks,I'm wondering if it's possible manage elements that era created using the "Prismatic Elements" control.   It doesn't feel the other control on the geometry like "Maximum element size" or also the general Mesh setting as Max aspect ratio.   If you see the attached pic, where I've marked the two red brackets, I can't set the Wedge depth.   At the moment I work around this issue with the addiction of much volume regions (second pic attached). Thanks

Using Creo Parametric 8.0.4.0, is it possible to create an animation using both a servo motor and explode? Attempting to explode/unexplode an assembly, then show rotation using the servo motor. Can these two features be used simultaneously or will separate animations have to be created? 

Hello All,  I wanted ot know what type of analysis is it called. I have a 60m large rotating assembly mounted on static structure. So I wanted to know whether the static structure can withstand the dynamic load + static load of rotating components and static components together.  Can you please advise whether its possible in CREO simulate? if yes then kindly request you to share info on its procedure.

Hello, Looking for some help modeling an open pulley system using mechanisms.  We have a door that is opened and closed via an linear actuator and a pully system.  We want to model the pulley system accurately as it goes around the pullies to better understand chain length and actuator location.   Big question is can you do this type of constraining in creo?  No sure how to have the chain route around the pullies as the contact location will change as the door opens and closes. Any help would be great! Using creo 8.0 

Community, Is it possible to apply an aerodynamic pressure load to a cylinder in Creo Simulate 10.0.  The load needs to be applied to one half of the cylinder and in the same direction, not normal to the surface.  Trying to achieve the pressure direction in the attached image that shows "Need this", except arrows pointing down from the top or outside of the curved surface.  Thanks in advanced.

I've encountered an issue in Creo. When placing components in an assembly, clicking "Placement" is supposed to show the placement box (as seen in the attached picture). However, even after clicking "Placement" multiple times, the placement box does not appear.Is this issue caused by Creo itself, or did I accidentally change some settings that disabled the placement box?Because at first, I thought the box might be displayed/appeared into another screen, but after I checked, there is no Placement Box at all. *Additionally, I noticed a similar problem in the Chamfer feature. The "Sets Box" does not appear either (refer to Picture 2).
