Im trying to plot, lifetime as a funct. of doping, and abs. coefficient as a function of wavelength. I've looked up some videos and good instructions from this Solved: How to produce a log based range variable or plot ... - PTC Community but I have a problem getting the plot to show while defining the range correctly, ie, units for the start and stop, adding steps. I can pull it up with python but not with Mathcad and I can't find out why. thank you, Thank you, 

Does anyone know how to download Mathcad (.xmcd) files from Windchill using Chrome/Edge so that they can be opened in Mathcad?   In Windchill, when I try to download a .xmcd file in a modern browser (Chrome, Edge) it automatically opens it in the browser in XML with the following error message displayed at the top: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." The workaround right now is just to use IE, however with IE going out of fashion we need it to work in modern browsers such as Edge and Chrome.     Thanks, Lawrence ------------------------------- I started a new thread because the only other related one I found is about 9 years old: xmcd-Files in browsers - PTC Community

Hi,I have several problems with the Modernized Project/Offset Tools in Sketcher of Creo 9.0.0.0.I wish I could go back to the old command present in creo 8.0...I explain what the problems are: PROBLEM 1:In creo 9.0.0.0 the project / offset tool does not generate the arc centers of a loop.  PROBLEM 2:After using the command I would like to be able to select specific segments and arcs generated with the Project / Offset command and then perhaps mirror them, but with the new command it is no longer possible ... all entities are selected as a group, is there a way to explode them? PROBLEM 3:The "Delete Segment" command is NOT ABLE to recognize the segments defined by a project / offset loop of a curve with intersections on the segments and references.P.S. Notice the yellow dots that delimit the recognized segments. PROBLEM 4:I would like my arc to have the same radius value as the arc of the offset chain, but the program does not allow me to set the constraint beca

Hi everyone!   I'm sharing with you this worksheet hoping it will help you extract moments, forces and supports reactions from the continuous beam (>=2 spans) for further beam design according the codes you use.   Please let me know if you find errors or want to improve the code (calculation time is around 1 min for a 5-spans beam).   Alvaro Gavilán   (edited 30-09-19: tolerance adjusted in 9.

Hello all, I am trying to create, redefine many features using creo toolkit. I refer toolkit user guideline document (tkuse) and object toolkit document to get idea about methods.  Is it the only document which can be refered to get idea of methods defined in toolkit api and does it contain all the information required? I just want to know if I am missing out some methods which are not defined in this documents. 

Hello Community, how are you?Can anyone tell me how to create a simp rep from holes I made in an assembly? I need to hide the holes I made in the assembly and I tried simp rep, but it only lets me exclude parts and not characteristics. Has anyone done something similar?Thanks!!!

I'm running into an issue with Shrinkwrap where no matter what settings are used it always deletes the faces in screw heads where the tool would fit in. Is there something I'm missing that would make Shrinkwrap catch those faces without having to go through and select each individual one on all of them? The purpose is to send out gutted assemblies for the purpose of a 3rd party to make photo realistic images for marketing so having missing faces/parts is not ideal. See below for example of what's happening.

This has been a nuisance for some time, but ...   If I evaluate a nested array, the matrix navigator seems to have little effect, sometimes nested arrays won't resize, and there doesn't seem to be a way to resize all of the elements at once ... not a happy state of affairs for large arrays.     Mathcad Express 7.0 worksheet attached.   Stuart

Hi,I have slow problems with the ModelChek.The slowness is due to the action of the antivirus.I would like to be able to exclude ModelCheck from the antivirus action by excluding its execution file or the folder where it is contained, but I have not found one or the other.Could you help me?Thank you.P.S. I use Creo 9.0.2.0

Dear PTC Community,i am designing a radiator, and therefore i would like to makes a pattern of the fins.i understand that a pattern with over 500 members takes some computing time and peromance.However, the pattern takes an eternity (5mins) to regenerate but my computer is not at all at its limits (see picture).i am working on a windows 11 pro and creo 9.0.9.0(Arbeitsspeicher means RAM)

Hi guys,   I was looking to get a Simulation license, but was curious about the thermal expansion capabilities and how it works.   Ideally, I want to model thermal expansion in parts and assemblies, and have instances of them at different temperatures, and therefore different sizes. Is this possible to do in Thermal mode?   Thanks Tom

This may sound trivial, but is there any way to check whether the size of a bolt is correct for the hole it is assembled to? For example, if we assemble an M4 into an M3 hole, there will be interference (could be checked with global interference). What if we mistakenly assemble an M3 into an M4 hole? Is there any way to detect it automatically? Thank you in advance.

I would like to transfer information by the functions that I use in my 3D on plans, let me explain.   For example when I place a chamfer on a hole, I would like an annotation to automatically appear on its plane (the best would be directly with an arrow but if it was noted in a corner it would already be great)   I know how to use the macro, the relation, the model parameter ... but even with everything that I cannot find (the solution I see would be to go through the PRO license of creo which I do not have 😕 )   thanks in advance

I have a model that is in essence a rectangle with and elliptical surface on one side (this is representative of a flat plate that rotates a specified amount of degrees in the X axis). I am now wanting to rotate this 360 degrees (along the Y-Axis, ROTATE_CENTER, shown below)to create a full on 360 degree swept volume so I can understand the full volume this will occupy in the real world. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?    

Is there a way to add tolerances or limits to hole notes via the hole file? Or have it show on the drawing after adjusting the tolerance to the feature within creo? For example, I am using &TAP_DEC to call out the decimal value of the tap drill diameter. The value is .397 but has a range from .396-.401. No matter what I do, I can't seem to have the hole note generate a given tolerance or limit. I've gone into the model and added the tolerance/limit and it doesn't regenerate the note with the new value.  Anyone have a work around to this?

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
