Hello, Sorry to post on a subject that others have before, but I am getting wrapped around an axle and could not understand the prior posts.  How do I turn my alpha variable into a scalar or matrix?  I've tried to highlight the number and units then select 'matrix', but that did not work. I would greatly appreciate some direction.  My Prime 8 file is attached and a screenshot is below:  V/r,Devin

Would like bounding box size option within the analysis feature. Must have ability to create parameters for each of the 3 distances example: (height, width & length). Would be nice if it could tell the difference between if the geometry was rectangular or round. If round provide parameters diameter & length.   The evaluation needs to be able to evaluate simplified rep of part and/or assembly.   Use case: The parameters within the analysis could be used to establish bill of material parameters (part size for raw material purchases). Assembly level can be used to establish packaging size requirements.

Hello everyone,   I am using schematics 7.0 as a ECAD and I have already an existing design where I would like to update datatables (picture 1) which are already in the central catalog. Also in the design I use a variable connector which is also in central catalog. At this connector I assigned default dataset (the one I would like to update)   The question is how to proceed now? I would like to keep the variable connector, only update the dataset. I tried to move with the files in central catalog folder but nothing is working. I can of course create a new dataset and delete the previous one from central catalogue, but then I will lost the connection with the variable connector (picture 2).    I saw on PTC help website that there should be administrator and editor, but I did not get how could I become one. 

I have had Mathcad in versions 5, 8 and most recently 9 installed on my pc.I then removed versions 5 and 8 to gain storage on my pcNow I need to reinstall version 8 to be able to work on the same sheets as my teammates. However, when I go to install, it says that version 8 is not allowed. Any suggestions on what to do? 

Can anyone provide solution for above problem?

Does anyone have a method for calculating the speed of sound in wet steam?The standard method works for dry or superheated steam, but breaks down rapidly at and below saturation temperature.The 2015 paper by Šafařík, November, Jícha and Hackman "On the speed of sound in steam" shows a discontinuity in the speed vs dryness curves at about 0.98 dryness, but I do not know if that is supported by measurement.

Hello everyone, I hope somebody can assist me with this. I am working on a calculation for a planet gear with 4 sun wheels and 1 planet wheel. The aim is to determine the forces on the sun wheel. Initially, I have 3 equations and 4 unknowns. By making an assumption based on symmetry, I now have 4 equations. Unfortunately, I am not getting the correct results. Does anyone know where I can find more information on this or perhaps have a tip? Is my assumption correct regarding the average forces over the teeth? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am generating a drawing of a large assembly. I have used Article - CS20577 to boost drawing performance and it works very well. I encountered an issue with creating detail views of section views. Upon creating the detail view, the drawing slows down severely to the point it is unusable. Mouse inputs take over ten seconds to be registered. Zooming in and out takes about a minute or more to execute. I cannot use the ribbon or any other commands during this time. If I erase the detail view (not the same as deleting the view, for those who don't know about the erase function) the drawing will return to normal and smooth performance. I find it weird that a detail view could be so heavy on the system that it causes such a slow down. Any ideas as to what is happening and how I can resolve the issue? The ideal solution would achieve normal drawing performance with the detail views showing (not erased). Thanks in advance.

Hello,  Is is possible to make a drawing in Creo 9 of an assembly made in Catia v5?  I'm making an component for a client. The component consists of two sheet metal plates that are cut and welded together and then applied a gasket. An assembly in Catia contains solids and surfaces that represent the plates and welding paths.  I modeled the components in Catia v5 r28 and the customer uses Creo 9.  The advantage of having it in creo would be that the client can open and edit the drawing directly. But I assume there is some loss in reliability and functionality when working across softwares like this. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.11.0In order to fix an assembly issue, I need to redefine the placement of the problem part. The placement, however, does not exist, and I cannot edit the definition of the part to add a placement. Replacement will not do, unless there is a way to replace it and keep all surface, edge, and other ID's identical.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.3.0We use the Pipeline Info (Report) function to get pipe lengths, pipe bends and rotation information for manufacturing. This seems to not work in Creo 10.0.3.0. The only information I can get is the full pipe length. This is very critical to our business.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.6.0Trying to save rendered image with vision window. How do I do that?

I found a few videos on how to model outer threads, not inner threads (nuts). I'm struggling to get all the dimensions correct for a Tr16x4 nut.I printed a prototype already. The hole size seems accurate, and the trapezoidal screw threads in initially, but it gets stuck halfway through. Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Creo 9.0.7.0. T5 licenseI'm trying to create a mapped mesh on very simple shape.  But when I try to create the mesh it fails to make bricks and reverts to tets.  I've spent a lot of time trying to do this very simple task and I am frustrated.My geometry an extruded sketch.  It has (or had) some fillets on the vertical edges but I have suppressed them. I have selected every surface combination possible (there are 3 possibilities - top+bottom, the two sides, and the ID and OD).  

In my company, we developed a plugin for Creo Parametric 9.0 using the C++ object toolkit. The plugin consists in a .dll that is compiled with Visual Studio 2022, with dependencies linked statically. The .dll works synchronously. Between developers, we tried to distribute internally the .dll after compilation. But if the .dll is used in a different machine from the one it was compiled in, Creo crashes with EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION. I'm attaching the traceback. log with the name of our plugin replaced with "<OUR_PLUGIN_NAME>". My question is:is it possible to distribute a .dll between machines, if all of them have the OTK installed, within the same license server? Is it possible between different licenses?

Hi,How to find a function that fits to below data. This function is a resistance temperature dependent that will be further involved into another equation (Vout(Temp)), and then how to plot Vout(Temp) vs Temp? Temp is temperature, lets say from -60degC to 90degC. Mathcad Prime 9 fille attached.    

I am using Creo 8.0.7.0 and extracting information for creo .asm, .prt files usinf wbmff.wbmff generates the rename.csv file list basically these files get renamed over OS level not by using creo. I have gone through the Article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS212774?source=search Is there any way to update the rename.csv listed Files using JLInk or some other tool.     Model opening properly in Creo for reported renamed files but when i extract the information using wbmff it reports files get renamed.    Is there any way to handle this scenario by some code or utility i have around 700 files reported in rename.csv.

I have searched the community and only find wrapping long equation and not symbolic answers.  This works, but I was wondering if there was some built-in way to wrap symbolic answers similar to wrapping long equations, which I don't recall ever doing.  "No" is an acceptable answer.😄 Thanks as always.

Hi, Matlab result:    

I have been using Creo for a couple years. I recently replaced my hard drive several months ago and now am trying to reinstall Creo parametric. I installed Creo 9 by following the links for the Student Version (because I am still a student, after which I would become an educator). I installed Creo 9 and ran the program and it said that the Student License doesn’t support Creo 9 however the PTC website seems to indicate that it does.

Background:Although unimportant to my question, I am trying to resurrect a Filon Method of Fourier Transforms that I used over 30 years ago in a Fortran code (see my profile😕).  I am in the first steps, which require that I develop a polynomial fit to the function to be transformed.  Another function will not work in this method.My quandaries:Attached is a Mathcad 15 code for the first steps of this process.  You will also need the subroutine called; it is attached also.  I searched the PTC Community and found this reference:https://community.ptc.com/t5/Mathcad/The-best-way-to-extract-polynomial-coefficients-and-form-an/m-p/345426#M135001It states that the coefficients of the polynomial fit are the result of the regress(x,y,order) function.  However, that cannot be correct as I show in my worksheet. Is this the difference between Mathcad 15 and Prime?  My Prime version is very old and and I not very experienced with it.If that is not the case, how do

I spent five hours trying to solve this problem, however could not figure  it out, can you please  help the sheet is attached 

Hello Team, I am trying to add gravity load along with other applicable forces. Without adding gravity load, simulation goes fine but when i apply gravity load, it fails. It shows below error: Can you please suggest what could be the reason for this? I am really under pressure to finish the simulation. Any help will be really appretiated.The design study terminated abnormally.The nonlinear iteration did not converge for thetime value:   3.90625e-03  o The model may have a buckling mode with a load factor    smaller than this value. You may determine the smallest    (linear) buckling load factor by running a buckling    analysis.  o The deformations may be large enough that you must    further refine the mesh. To locate potential problem    areas, it may help to run an analysis with reduced    loads and examine the deformed shape of the model.  o The model may have a static instability. 

I have six tests and I have done the calculation for one test I need to do the same calculation for the remaining five tests and I don't want to copy paste the calculation, I want to use the same sheet for all the tests with enabling all the functions and calculation to change according to the input values ( general calculation). For example, I want to use the same program for all the CPTSCan you help with that 🙂 The sheets are attached  

Dear allcan you help me to construct the tendon profile (Parabolic and Circle)?Thank in advance
