Hello Dear Friends at PTC Community, What is the industry practice regarding level of details for MBD parts?  Should ALL features have ALL dimensions shown, in as many Combination Views as necessary (same level of detailing as in 2D drawing)? Is there a way to hide a model in Combination View?  Some of our Combination Views are packed with notes and models are not necessary (they get in the way actually).Simplified Representation works within assemblies, but not at part level. any chance someone here can share a good practice/high standard reference model, something I can learn from?

I am using the Creo 10 cable and harness application and hoping to find a solution to creating a flat and flexible ground strap. I've seen some electrical modeled assembly drawings that show flexible ground strap concepts, and I'd like to create the same effect. It does not need to show the fancy woven details from the manufacturing process, just a flat and flexible feature that I can assign its path with the "Location" section while connecting at terminal lugs at each end.  Regards, Chas.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.1.0Closing Creo with an error message :Unable to communicate with the display driver. the application must close.Here are the errors that I facedUnable to communicate with the display driver.error code : 2

I just installed Creo 10.0.5.0 (from 8.0.10.0 and 9.0.9.0) and am noticing that on each launch Windchill is offline unless I manually go to Server Management and uncheck the "Offline" box.  All of the settings from 8.0.10.0 and 9.0.9.0 are unchanged and neither one of those versions had that issue.  What do I need to do to have it start with Windchill online?

When a new IFX fastener is created, a window for pattern (single instance / all instances) and the hole control (no hole / hole in part level / hole in assembly level) shows up (see image)   Is it possible to bring up this window on existing fastener, and edit it? Or would the fastener have to be deleted and a new one created in order to get this window again?  

Hello everyone,In the attached file i have two programs r and q.program 'r' arranges the bars in one layer of beam cross section and 'q' is for the second layer.Here the number of layers are decided based on 'gqo' values.If they are positive, one layer of the bars are sufficient, i have to repeate the proceedure until it is positive (which means i have to arrange the bars in several layers).How can i automate y1....yn, d1....dn, n1.....nn, so that one program is sufficient to give the results for the bars in several layers. (y1,y2), (d1,d2), (n1,n2) belongs to first layer, (y3,y4).... for second layer, (y5,y6) for third layer and soo on.Attached mathcad 10 file.

Hi all,I found Creo schematics software yesterday, and I think it would suit my needs but I would like to ask a few questions, if some members of the community has encountered the case already. At my company we use to draw harness layout drawing (all connected harnesses of the project) on a single sheet. I believe this can be done using circuit diagram.In our harnesses, we are using ferrules and mark tube (on which we print wire label) because harnesses are connected to terminal blocks.My questions:Is it possible to define ferrules and mark tubes when creatins harnesses? Is it a built-in function or can we develop it by ourselves?Is there any terminal blocks templates already? Thank in advance.Nicolas  

I am using Creo Simulate Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150we are tryin to RUN Static Structual Contact analysis, it is running form 48hrs still, Run is not completed, want to know how to optimise and know the issue, how to resolve itHere are the errors that I faced(loosening gap stiffness to improvrconvergence)

Hello, I saw the older posts from 2013 and 2011, I think it is time to rethink and provide business and institution solutions to alternative operating systems. I've been working on moving all our functionality over to Linux as a cost saving and security measure. And MathCAD is being a bit of a thorn. I have not been able to install it through Bottles and SMath is neither on Flathub nor on Arch yet and we have the MathCAD licenses already. I have colleagues at other companies also working on moving things over. A lot is up to software developers to do the last support part. As we already want to use the software. Alvast bedankt. ps the KBA is ridiculous, having to login just to be informed that there is no support. CS328285

Hi,I have an issue with Creo Simulate. Whenever I try to run the analysis, the fatal error appears and Creo shuts down. Below is the error massage from traceback.log file. My graphic card is Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000. Modelling and Creo Flow application work fine. The problem is only with Creo Simulate.

In Creo, flexible components such as springs, mounted in an assembly, do not graphically show their flexibility when dragging. How to solve this behavior? What can I do? And without using the mechanism! In short, I would like to see the spring that stretches and compresses when I drag the purple component without having to regenerate at the end of the drag. thanks in advance to anyone who can help mestarting position after dragging the purple component after regenerated  

So, I got this model, that has an "Inherited Model Reference", so it should have an external inheritance feature inside that cannot be retrieved by Creo (Version 8, and 10). After you try to load this model, your session is corrupted in the following way:The File > Manage Session > Object List is empty [1].The Folder Browser > In Session shows the reference model [2].The Folder Browser > Workspace does only contain the model I want to open [3].Opening the reference model from In Session does not work (cannot be retrieved—expected, Object List).Opening the reference model by itself works fine. Having the reference model in session does not change the issue.Erase Not Displayed looks like [4], and results in an "All the objects which were not displayed have been erased." message, but the session remains unchanged (Object List, In Session, Erase Not Displayed).When we try to visualize this model in WVS I get the error "Failed to erase 1 files in session (-1 1)" and the pub

Hello all, first time post, long time lurker.    I've recently dabbled into CREO simulate. I'm having trouble working with fasteners and understanding why such low fastener preloads produce insanely high stress values. I'm using CREO 7.0 When I apply only 10N of preload to my fastener (1/2"), I get thousands of MPa on the metal plates. I have no external loads applied. 25000MPa. WHY? Here's a look at my fastener.And here's my material.Please help me understand what is going on. Thank you.

I have the step by step hand calculations for this type of problem but I really would like to learn the ptc Mathcad analysis for it and somehow the ODE Mass Spring problem doesn't help me make the connection. Could someone please help get me started with this?

excelente servicio

For the Creo drawing BOM.The BOM level should be automatically adjusted according to a size A3, A4 etc. , If needed move to the next page.Is it possible?

Tried placing Decals on models...they must be invisible?  Went thru the prompts, searched in the HELP section, did the Mapping Shape and wore my tin-foil hat for a bit...???!!!   It's on a flat surface and the model is brought in as a STEP file?   Screenshots show the application of the decal...invisible.  

Hi,We are working on chassis design for off-road vehicles and we have very large assembly files. (Approx 10.000 parts) I am working on projects by excluding or including components but sometimes it takes time to process easy tasks. Our computers are workstations and they are very good but in very large assemblies it does not help. I know some ways to do but it didn't help much.Is there possible ways to increase performance? Thanks in advance -Enes

Hello Folks, I am using Creo 7.0 and partial or detail view generates as full view in pdf file when working online (windchill connected). But when I generate pdf file offline (with standalone creo / offline) same view remains as is as they are in creo drawing.I wonder if anybody faced this issue. Any help is appreciated!! Regards,Mani

Hi all, when processing a save as of a creo parametric assembly in whindchill, I would like to include the illustration work.Unfortunately creo illustrate file is not embedded. what is your workarround whith for this use case? Mine is to save in local the c3di, break the link to the source, reconnect windchill and reconnect to the new published PVZ...

Hi everyone, I am having an issue with fixing parts in Creo Parametric 6.0. We are a team which works on chassis manufacturing and we have a lot of parts in our assembly files. Sometimes we have some reference issues and we have to delete all constraints and fix all parts in assembly. I created a mapkey for this but it just does one part with one keytap. So we need to fix all the parts but faster. We are using Windchill PLM by the way. (If you need this information.) Thanks in advance for the help!

On the Creo 2D drawing, For the Sheetmetal fabrication BOM table, is it possible to show weight of each component and total final weight?

Hi,I cannot for some reason get a license file. Whereever i search i have reached the maximum number of requests, although i have never activated it. Please help.- Dennis A

Hello Everyone,   We are working on an assembly having lots of sublevels. While creating some relations , when try to "Insert" -> "From List" , it shows the error message "Requested filtered table exceeds the number of allowed rows.Re-edit the filter or cancel."   Please help me to solve this issue.   Regards  

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.0.0We had a group recently convert their files from MathCAD 15 to Prime and they are experiencing latency and performance issues. It now takes several minutes to perform the calculations.Also, this was reported by one power user - one alarming thing is that sometimes it takes multiple minutes to finish calculating the worksheet, but what I thought was a status indicator turns back to green before it is even done calculating (So I've either misinterpreted what that icon is, or its not working correctly)
