I am having trouble with using the spring idealization in simulate. We are on Creo 9.0.8.0. I read through the different PTC resources and have tried a variety of different tactics to see if I could get a model that makes sense. At this point, I think it has to be a lack of experience/understanding on my part. I attached the files I could. I am at the point now where I will probably just create a surrogate material with the properties I need to continue, but I would like to understand where I am going wrong. I used Spring point-point pairs where the point is on the surface of the model. Tried constraining the points to be rigid and leaving them free. Tried "burying" the point inside the material. Tried using holes in the material with the points centered on them with both rigid and free connections. We tried to go through our reseller to have their consultant help, but unfortunately that guy had some recent medical trouble and is unavailable. Any help or advice would be great

Morning,I was using the free trial until the order was processed. The order has now been processed and I have received the PTC licence pack but cannot install it.

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to measure radial forces, axial force and moments acting on beam.I' ve been trying to achieve it by compouted measure but than quickly realized that moments which also acting on the same beam completely ruins the result of a calculations. Example:How can I measure radial forces and moments acting on a beam so at the end i can draw two vectors of forces and moments?Example model is in description. Idea of example model is following: model has known forces and moments acting on the middle of the beam(they are given by load case). Measures has to measure the same values given by loadcase.  1N in X, 1N in Y, 1N in Z, -1Nm in X, -1Nm in Y and -1Nm in Z 

Hi Folks, The 'Chart Component' plot assumes an X range of -10 to 10.  When I zoom in on a plot, it doesn't recalculate so Delta-X doesn't change.  Curves are sometimes longer smooth (example below).  It seems like there should be a way to recalculate a plot after zooming in, but I don't see anything.  Am I missing something? Thanks for your attention 🙂 Mark    

While working in Creo, I see that the “view change” window opens every time in the assembly parts we open in the Windchill system, which I share as a screenshot below. Although I have corrected the errors in the system, this screen appears every time I open the assembly file in Creo. Actually, I found the solution to the problem, but I want to know what the root cause of the error is. In which error situation this screen appears. Can anyone write if they have information about this subject?

Hello, is it possible to create a flat harness with wires that are not in direct contact?As in picture 1, it is composed of separate wire. the problem is when I decide a start point, I can not go and look for another point on a non-attached wire.I would like to know if it is possible to do everything in one flat harness or if it is necessary to separate each wire that does not touch into different harnesses?

when I try to create a flat harness, with a multitude of wires stuck together, it places the wires in relation to the z axis. therefore, I cannot move my threads so that I can see them all in profile.How to make the flat position like image 2, I can move my segments in this direction

Hi, I am doing an integral in mathcad prime. The function inside of the integral is a summation of series of if statement functions and a step function (for loop).  I plotted the integral twice (see attached figures), one with a TOL of 0.01  and one with a TOL of 0.1. However, the peak values along the graph are not the same at the same depth and I don't know why they are different since I am integrating the same function. However, the function stops at the same point (where the Moment is 0 kip*ft) at the very bottom.  I am wondering why the peak values are different by changing the tolerance. Thank you.     

Hi all, I'm in quite a pickle here. I have a multibody part, but the performance is getting horrible (file size is nearly 1gb), so I need to split it up into a new part file for each individual body, and remove unused bodies I have done this part, but now I am left with a single part, but it of course still has all of the features from before the 'Remove Body' feature. I am looking for an expert's take on what the best course of action is. Do I manually go through and delete each feature that doesn't contribute to the end-body needed? I have thousands of features, and about 10 individual bodies that I care about. As such, individually selecting the unused features that I want to delete will be very time consuming. I am wondering if anyone has a better way to do this, or has been in a similar situation. I would appreciate any advice! Thank you,Jeff Houston

Hi everyone,I'm trying to customize our drawings. We need to display the Wtpart version in the drawing format or template.Are there any methods to do this?How can I use this information in the drawing?Thanks!

Hi,Could somebody to say, why I could not write labels unit of temperature coefficient of copper 

I need to create a list of solutions to a function based on tabulated inputs see the below not sure how to do this in Mathcad

Hello PTC Community,I'm currently working on a project related to heat exchangers, specifically focusing on an economizer. I've attached some temperature characteristic curves showing the temperature profiles for both co-current and counter-current flow arrangements. However, I'm having difficulty adjusting the axes for both the x-axis (distance) and y-axis (temperature) to improve clarity and presentation.What I Need:Guidance on how to adjust the x-axis and y-axis scales appropriately to represent the temperature profiles effectively.Any tips on ensuring that the axes align properly with the temperature values and flow direction for better visualization.Your insights and advice would be greatly appreciated!i have added a mathcad prime file and a screenshot from my book, Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards,Michael

Is there a way to embed a font in an *mi file created by Annotation? I'm afraid that my customer can't display a drawing correctly if he has not that font in his Windows computer. Related question: is it possible to do the same (embed fonts) when exporting to DWG or PDF file format? I'm using Modeling 20.5 on Windows 10

In Creo 10 Is it possible to move the location of the Section to the Top of the ModelTree or even attached this to the Insert Here line.  Is there a setting controlling this location.  

Hi, all.  I have just started using Mathcad. The problem below is driving me crazy. Any idea why it is giving me the wrong output?  See below. I have also attached the Mathcad file. Incorrect answer:Correct output: RegardsCP  

Hello there, I'm currently dimensioning an epicyclic gear reduction system and I was wondering if it was possible to use the CREO 9 (the version used in my school) parametric functions to dimension this system directly in the assembly. For example, for a given number of teeth on the sun gear, an input torque and an output torque, it might be possible to calculate the planet gear teeth as well as those of the ring gear, and thus directly modify their dimensions. (including the center distance between the gears, the pitch, tip and root diameters, etc.) I've already done a few tests but they didn't lead to anything except errors. Thank you in advance for your answers.

If you click on License under Options in Prime, a host ID is also displayed. I was of the opinion that this is the MAC address, called 'primary' by PTC, for which the current license was generated.But apparently there is some confusion here and it is a constantly changing fantasy MAC!!? I can't believe that this is intentional behavior, which is why I classify it as a bug. I am not sure but i think that in older versions of Prime the correct MAC was shown, the one the license was created for. I recently had to generate a new license and had it created for the one that was displayed. Of course this license file did not work. This was quite annoying, as license management is not exactly one of the easiest features on the PTC support sites and it took me some time and effort to finally move the license to the correct MAC.  

Requirement is to update CAD template of a Project.Initially, these CAD template is created using a source CAD file (drawing) which includes a format file.We have new format file and drawing file. Able to update them from A.1 to A.2?But how will the CAD template created in Project using A.1 version be updated?We don't have an option to choose source CAD file when checked-out? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, I have this plot which has ( x, y ) and A and B are points in this plot>>> I want to show this point in different colour and then draw the vector of them ABand then I have  another x and y ( x;cpt , y;cpt different values) I want to show point C,cpt in the same previous plot then draw the vector component of AB and C,cptthe result should look something like this:not necessarily the same ,but I need to show the vectors Thanks in advanceprime 9 

Creo: 10.0.0.0 education version Hello everyone, i am trying to create a sweep in the shape shown here:I tried using the sweep blend feature but this results in weird interpolations between the segments. I know that by just sweeping from one section to another the interpolation is linear, but i want some sort of spline as shown in the sketches. Here is the image showing the interpolation. Using the blend feature to control the sketch with trajectories doesn't work properly. I do not know why the trajectories are ignored here, but when i change the sketch to an ellipse at leas one trajectory is followed.Maybe someone can help me with this, since i am out of ideas what parameters i need to change in these features to get my desired result.  

I have an input matrix from actual test data, where I have taken out 5 test dataset(Speed and 5 pressures), showing first line belowI now want to do some calculations, get all the differntial pressures for example : I know i can do like this: but it would be much nicer to display the result as a table with proper colum headers and units, how can i achieve this?  

Hello, Software used: Creo 8.0.When I set up combined state view in the model I can show different dimensions and annotations in each combined state view, but when add a new view to the drawing and select the combined state view, the annotations and dimensions are not displayed in the drawing as they are in the model.  When I select show model annotations for the drawing view it shows every single dimension available not just the annotations and dimension I displayed in the Model according to the combined state view. In older versions of Creo, this was possible, not sure if there is a setting that should be changed in new versions. Thanks,
