Hi, I have to do a static elastoplastic Simulation with Simulate on the attached model. It is an axial compensator. Material: Not linear but elastoplastic behavior The compensator is composed by two parts of 0.5 mm thickness in contact. So in addition to the behavior of the elastoplastic material, I have to evaluate the contact between the two parts. The model is fixed on one side and on the other side is applied a compression/traction, lateral and torsional displacement. There is also internal pressure. First of all, I have to do a static elastoplastic Simulation, than I have to evaluate fatigue analysis, heat exchanger from the inside fluid, modal and frequency analysis. Now the focus is on the static elastoplastic Simulation and I have a problem in order to have result in reasonable time. How would you create the mesh? How would you set up the simulation with the issue of time in mind? Do you suggest to use Ansys Simulation? Thanks

Hello,  I have created the sheetmetal bracket with the standards holes and formed holes.  Standard holes are created with sheetmetal Extruded cut option and Formed holes are created using Punch Form option. Now for the manufacturing requirement for punching and forming, i been asked to create a drawing with Hole Coordinates table for these holes and forms. So I have created the coordinate table using HOLE TABLE option in the drawing.  But the problem here is, HOLE TABLE option doesn't show coordinates of Formed Holes - Refer attached image.  it shows only extruded cut holes.  also i tried creating the datum points on top of the formed holes to get the X and Y values of forms. It was working but it wont create the automatic callout next to forms. so it is the manual work to add the callouts which leads human mistake.  is there any way to show the coordinates of formed holes using HOLE TABLE with right callout ? pls suggest

All,   I am having repeated issues with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION bluescreens on a HP Fury G9 laptop here and Creo 7.0.8.0.   It happens with graphical interactions such as snapping to view and section.    I have tried the following, but it still happens constantly:   - Creo re-installed - BIOS update - Graphics driver update - System update - System rebuild - Permissions checks - Fast start-up disabled   Any help or ideas to solve this is greatly appreciated

Hi, Is it a "feature", a bug or there's a recipe setting that I don't know of which makes inset explode lines completely different to their "normal" page view when exported?Sorry about the colour choice but it's noticeable anyway. In the page view all lines look the same (like the ones on the left in the picture). But when exported the inset lines get much thinner and densely packed.  Cheers,Tom 

Hello community, I have a problem with the 2D symbols. Why do the 2D symbols on a predefined 3D page change their size when I zoom the model? This should not happen because the size of a symbol usually refers to the page size and not to the model size. I currently have the problem that I would like to show a floor. Since there are no auxiliary tools (?!), I have created the floor as a 2D symbol. Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to create a uniform representation of the floor because the size of the 2D floor keeps changing depending on the model zoom or the side zoom (where the model is also zoomed). This also applies to all other 2D symbols. Is this possibly due to the fact that the dpi for a 3D page cannot be preset, but is only selected when the image is exported? Does anyone have any idea how I could create a floor differently? I also have the problem that the inserted floor symbol creates a border. Why is that? To the attached picture

I cannot get the 30 day free trial to activate. I have gone through the activation process repeatedly and it does not work. No matter what I do the program does not recognize that a license has been activated.

As a Mathcad User if you happen to receive an error message "An Unhandled exception occurred on the dispatcher thread. See “C:\ProgramData\PTC\MathcadPrime\Logs\MathcadPrime_Exception_###.log"   Than to address the problem, lets first understand the reason for this error followed by Resolution.  Root Cause of Error: MathcadPrime.exe.config may have been corrupted User.config is corrupted for the user trying to launch Mathcad Prime Resolution: There are two resolutions to address the problem Resolution 1 - 1.  Rename the file MathcadPrime.exe.Config to old_MathcadPrime.exe.Config in the default Mathcad Installation location "C:\Program Data\PTC\Mathcad Prime".   2.  Rename the folder #PTC to old_PTC in the location " C:\Users\%username%\Appdata\Local"     3. Clear Temporary files on the Machine     If the above instructions fail to resolve the issue, uninstall the application, reboot the machine and reinstall Mathcad

So i marked up a bunch of brackets in creoview.  I discovered a few brackets floating in space as I forgot to bring in its supporting structure I also created groups for all my markups.  I can't save the file with 2 files.  I try to merge them and I lose all my notes and groups Why can't you just load as many PVZ's together and Save it as one file and keep all my markups and groups.  I tried turning the groups into a shared type and was like oh cool it brought all my groups to my new PVZ... Oooh but they are all blank and didn't bring over the parts inside them... Well that was worthless.  I shouldn't have to start from scratch to bring in a missing part.  Even if it can't merge them.... It should be like Oooh I can remember where that second PVZ file loads from and say would you like to load secondary PVZ's from selected location and if not found let you browse or skip.      

I am an adjunct professor and I'm using PTC Mathcad Prime 8.0.0.0 [Academic] I get a message when I start the program ""License expiring (full functionality - X days remaining).  I can't locate instructions on how to renew my license. The chatbot is useless. Can someone helpme? Tom Jenkins

We're in testing phase of implementation of Creo 8.0.0.0.  I created a family table of a consumable.  In this case it's Loctite.  The generic is created from our start part which contains three datums, csys and some designated parameters.  There is no other geometry or features. Add our designated parameter of DESCRIPTION to the family table.  The instance names are the Loctite grades, 242, 243, 262  with corresponding description.  Verify and check-in to Windchill  and all is well. Assemble the instances into the assembly item.  Constrain the instance datums planes to the part where I want to callout Loctite.   Model tree looks correct.  Check into Windchill and WT and CAD structure looks right.  Create drawing, BOM table looks correct.  However, cannot show balloons for the Loctite instances as expected like any other component.  Hum..  Scratch head.  Figure balloons need something to

After I run a flow analysis on a part, (Creo 9.0) I am unable to open the part again. When I try to open the original part, I get a blank screen of the planes of the part, not the part as originally constructed. Please see below.Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.  

In Mathcad 15, if you have equations scatter along the sheet you can highlight, go to format, and the select align regions from the drop menu. How do you do that in Mathcad prime 8 ?       

I am working in CREO 8.0  and I am trying to show multiple theta point charts/ spline tables in a drawing for one part. When i create the theta point chart/spline table it only shows me the values for one of the splines. How do i get 2 separate tables for the 2 separate splines?

We have an additional request to display version information(Revision) of the drawing on the Creo View application Can someone please help me in getting the solutioning part? Thanks

Hi, we've just moved to Creo 9 (from 3) While I was hoping for improvements, I seem to be hitting "new & wonderful" head aches. issue today:simple, but annoying:  in an assembly, I want to highlight the part.  I used to just click it.  But now, it seems to select some feature of the part (surface, edge, axis, etc..) and not the part itself.  The work around seems to be to hold the 'ALT' key, then select the 'part'. I've tried to modify the options in the Options/Global/select, but that seems to create a new set of failures..  Seriously?!  what changed?!

Hello, I have a problem for pipe design, I use pipe application to create the 3D model normally .Our systems can used in different industry areas, Most times we only need to change the brand of those componets, and use same pipe line. I guess maybe we can use configurable product to make pipe design? So I can easily add or change the brand.   Seems pipe application cant insert configurable product or configurable model. Would anyone try this before?

Hello All,Is there any chance to use Quick Surface (Reverse Engineering tool) with integration to Creo Parametric 10.02.0? Quick surface HomePage : https://www.quicksurface3d.com/

I want to automate the steps required to convert the 3D solid model to 2D drawings. Can you tell me how can I automate the PTC creo to reduce the steps? Is it possible to link our written C++ script to PTC creo for automation?

CREO RELATIONS. I have a frame, let's say 500 x 350 (extruded) with a depth of 36 mm.There is a water cooling channel running across the frame, as shown in the image below. How can I make the water cooling channel change its pitch according to the frame size? For example, if I make the frame 350 x 350, the water cooling channel collapses on itself due to the number of channels overlapping the frame size. 

Hi,   I faced an issue when import drawing to a drw file. The matter as below: I have an Ori.drw and I want to create 2 sheets with the same 2D drawing in this file. Thus, I plotted one, then save as a new-name.drw (but common 3D data). Next, I import this new-name.drw to my Ori.drw. Sometimes all data completely import, both sheets remain same. However, sometimes the plotted dimension all gone for one of the sheet, only left sketches and part drawing. Does anyone have any idea why this happen and what should I do so that both drawing's data (dimension & sketches) are kept during import action,  Thanks.    

Dear sir or madame,i kindly ask u to give me another 30 days trial version to finish my masterthesis and printout my calculations without the mathcad express signs in the backround.In the company i work we use mathcad anyway, so i figured, it would not be a problem to give me another trial version.kind regardsJohannes Scherfler
