I am wondering if anyone knows a way to make a Bode plot that shows a y-axis on the left for db (amplitude) and a scale on the right for phase.  The Plot function does not support it, but I thought perhaps the "chart" function does since it does allow a second y axis scale on the right.  But as I understand it, this is not quite the case.  In the "chart" function it seems that the scale on the right is only a replica of the one on the left.  This function was very nicely supported in Mathcad 15.  Is there a way to do it in Prime 9?  Much appreciation for any thoughts/help!

I have a valid license but I never got an email with a "product code", so I can't even request support.I have two emails, neither has a "customer number".My end goal is to view this page https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs306408 . I just purchased a license.

I started having this issue today (my first time attempting to install creo). Since the first try I have uninstalled and deleted all license files then reinstalled Creo (using the same zip file I downloaded the first time).  Still getting the same issue.  The license I received yesterday results in an error message, the message is long but this seems to be the critical data:  License Request Failed for Feature... (-21) I am using the educational license fixed node (just followed the directions that I received when receiving the license). Any suggestions on how to get it up and running? Thank you 

When I created 3D dimensional marking in the Annotate module, the tolerance text height was the same as dimension text height. Usually, the tolerance text height factor should be 0.6, which means the tolerance text height is 0.6 times of dimension text height. I have set tolerance_standard from "ansi" to "iso", but the tolerance text height was still unchanged. Is there anyone knows how to change the tolerance text height in 3D annotate? Your help will be much appreciated!  

Following the solution to the differential equation for the deflection curve of a beam on an elastic foundation, am trying to get the bending moment M and shearing force V based on the 2nd- and 3rd-order derivatives (using MathCad prime 9).I can come up with values based on the derivative expression BUT am unable to assign the results to matrix variables M and V for plotting the results to show variation along the length of the beam.I tried to define matrices with matching size, BUT it won't evaluate the differential equation. I alternatively tried for loop, BUT the same issue persists. The v counter does not increment to allow calculation of the M variable. Should I be using the ODE solvers for this? Am I missing something? Can't seem to figure it out.Thank you for the help.    

(Creo Parametric 10.0 ) Before I do the analysis definition, I already add a servo motor. However, I can only use the motor when the type of the analysis is position. And the right three buttons can't be used.

Hello, I have been using mathcad for years as a basic user, but do not have much experience using it for matrix operations or programming.  I am trying to create a worksheet that will allow me to feed in data in to several 3x1 matrices and then compare values of the elements of each matrix and then create a new matrix of only the largest values.  However, the resulting output of what I have at the moment is a scaler. How do I instead get a vector result? Please note that I am using Mathcad 15 (and not Mathcad Prime). Thanks!  

Is there anyway to enable the clock parameter in Creo 10?

Hello everyone I have been trying to study the dynamic response of a vertical cylindric pile partly submerged in the sea and resting on the seabed, using Mathcad Prime 8.0. I have implemented the 1D dynamic beam equation as described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%E2%80%93Bernoulli_beam_theory The pile is free at the top, held laterally in place at height H and simply supported at the base (with a lateral spring). I have defined the following boundary conditions. w and v are deflection and curvature. The units look correct to me. Besides, making the sheet unitless does not solve the problem.Could anyone point me towards the solution or shed more light on what is meant by "inconsistent conditions" ? I have attached the spreadsheet and datafile for some trials.One issue I see with the file is that I(x) and q(x) have discontinuities so Mathcad may have difficulties evaluating I''(x) over the complete interval. Best regards François

Hi,I use the latest Mathcad version on a virtual machine (parallel) on my Mac Book Pro M1. The program runs smoothly so far and works excellently.Unfortunately, when I insert images using various options, despite saving them, when I reopen the document they are only displayed as a "Search images.." button.Does anyone here have an idea?Best regardsFinn

I am using Creo Simulate Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0Simulate static analysis taking time more than expected.It is stuck in preprossing following activity taking huge time:-"Pre-processing boundary (70% complete after   2.1 min)"

Applicable Release: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will be configuring Creo Parametric ModelCHECK to remove unwanted relations from Parts & Assemblies. Configuration works for both Parts and Assemblies.

Hi,as specified in Article - CS7762it is not supported to  add an older version using As Stored dependent.did any of you managed to achieve the goal using other techniques ? what about using it in conjunction with  AddToWorkspaceAction ?  

Thought I'd give back a bit to the community, one secret weapon that I've been leveraging for quick and dirty automation is to access the asynchronous VB API through PowerShell. VB API is a .NET construct, so it's accessible through VB, C#, as well as PowerShell. API wise, it is almost 1:1 with the base J-Link package, so you are not missing out on much. You will not have Toolkit functionality, but you can in theory create Toolkit DLLs to load in via config.pro that you can invoke via the VB API.   The convenience of using PowerShell is that it is deployed by default on all machines Win7+. You may run into some compatibility issues with Powershell V2, since that was a rather primitive version compared to what we have today. Win10 deploys with Powershell 5 and above. It is also a shell environment. You do not need to compile anything or open any special program, you can literally link up in a new shell window and immediately start piloting Creo. So far I can pretty much create a qu

This month’s challenge ties into the Mathcad for Mechanical Engineers Webinar. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create a worksheet that calculates the stresses on a key in a keyway for a crankshaft and flywheel.   The Scenario A key is a mechanical component used to transfer power between a rotating shaft and a machine component (in the image below, a flywheel). The torque is 150 Newton-meters. The shaft diameter where the flywheel is attached has a diameter of 50mm. The key length is 50mm with a breadth (width) of 12.5 mm and total height of 10 mm. The size of the chamfers on the key is 1 mm, but you can ignore them for the stress calculations if you wish.     The Challenge Your task is to calculate the following: Calculate the torque that can be transmitted by the reduced shaft diameter (the diameter not including the keyway). Calculate the shear stress and compressive stress on the key and shaft. (Optional) Using the technique presented by Dr. H

Hello all, I am a fairly new user to Creo, so bare with me with some of the terminology, but I am having an issue with exporting a 2D sketch in Creo. When I export the file (shown in the pictures attached) and import it back into Creo the file shows up blank with only a picture of the DXF file that I was trying to make. I have tried importing the DXF on SolidWorks as well and this also results to the same issue. Does anyone know why this happening? Thank you in advance!

The system colors, for example system_geometry_color, can be set via specifications in a file. For example, I use "syscol.scl". To the best of my knowledge, there is no documentation of what parameter names are available for these settings. Equally important, it is not clear what effect setting any of these parameters will have. I'm wondering if anyone has any documentation of the following: (1) Parameter names (2) Screen elements affected by a given parameter (3) Syntax for the settings file, i.e. what alias_sec_dim_strong_color_to means, the color value ranges, etc.   I had asked this same thing as an Idea for it to be added to the Help documentation. It was pretty much ignored. I naively thought that such things would be documented and available, but that does not appear to be so.

I am using :Creo Parametric 7.0.7.0 Windows 11 Professionnal Version 22H2I have a search.pro file and I specified its location with the search_path_file option in the config.pro file. The locations contained in the search.pro file contains standard parts that will never change. My issue is that when saving an assembly, I would like to save all the parts but not the ones contained in these locations. Is it possible to achieve that and how ?

I am creating a UDF of the J1926-1 feature on the end of solid round bar.When I run the UDF on other locations, the revolves and extrudes 'flip' and do not follow the way they were created.  Using the hole command, I have been able to create the spotface, drill depth, etc without any issues.  When I run the UDF, the helical sweep cut (thread) of the feature flips. I have created other UDFs of this same feature and all appear to work correctly.  Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

I'm trying to write a short function in Prime 7.0 that will loop through data and populate multiple matrices and then stack them.Even though the matrices are the same size, I am getting a "The dimensions of these arguments do not match." error when using the stack function.I tried pulling sample matrices out of the loop and stacking them. That worked, as expected.Can you not use the stack function in a loop? Or am I missing something else?Thanks! 

Since you are only able to have your licensed account on one account unless they're connected to the same network and with a different subscription, is there a way for me to inactivate the license on one device and activate the subscription on another? Right now the account is on my desktop but I need it on my laptop.

I am using Creo Simulate Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150I have parts upon which we ran structural simulations in the past. I wish to now run a fresh simulation in assembly mode. When I have my assembly in session, and go to simulate, I get all these failures due to bad constraints and load sets. I want to start fresh and try to use HOME / SET UP / NEW SIMULATION MODEL. However, New Simulation Model is greyed out.I also cannot delete individual constraints or loads in the model tree.

I'm trying to create a drawing of a multi-body part, with a bill of materials table, like an assembly drawing. (I've created a multi-body part as it's quicker than modelling an assembly.) I've named my bodies and created a BOM table using one of the built-in templates, which generates a unique item number per line, but I can't figure out how to make these item numbers appear as balloon notes.'Create balloons' on the toolbar only seems to work for components, not bodies.Is there a way to make this work?  Or do you just have to create manual balloon notes?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0In my main assembly I am trying to assemble jumpers assembly as a flexible component. Earthing jumpers are two sub-components, so I am trying to assemble in different lengths and directions. I am able to constrain distance and it works fine, but direction of the subcomponents will be different, I cannot rotate subcomponents, only earthing jumper rotates. For example, in the first position Earthing jumpers have two subcomponents, component 1 should have an angle offset of 35 degrees and component 2 should have an angle off set of 65 degrees. In the second position, in the same way, component 1 of Earthing jumpers should have an angle off set of 45 degrees and component 2 should have an angle off set of 25 degrees. Let me know what is the best way to keep them consistent.
