CAD

If you now go to Mathcad's website, you'll be redirected to the Mathcad page on PTC.com. You'll also notice there are suddenly a bunch of new Mathcad pages on PTC.com that weren't there before. And you'll notice that Mathcad is a "Featured Product" and Engineering Calculations is a "Technology" on the PTC top navigation!   Yes, this is all intentional. If it seems like I've been quiet for the past several months, that's because it took a lot of work to return Mathcad back where it belongs! (And if you were wondering why new Mathcad blogs and webinars were being published to PTC.com and not mathcad.com for the past half a year, or why old Mathcad webinars are being uploaded to the YouTube channel, this is why.)   PTC.com, in terms of available technology, security, and usability, is vastly superior to what mathcad.com can offer. I hope you all see a lot of benefits to this move.   If you have any questions or found any glitches, please let me know!

I am the onsite tech for an Engineering company.  I have a user who has Mathcad Prime version 11.0.1.  The install did not give me the option to install Xmcd, MCD converter.  I read the posts that the user needs version 15.0 or higher to have those features but the user says that she does not need 15.0.  She said that is an older version and she won't be able to run her files.  How can I get this feature installed?

Hi there, I have a frustrating problem with Model Check.We use screws in our assemblies. Those screw's length is defined by a family table. Unfortunately, ModelCheck always checks those screws in the assembly and causes a "is modified". Even if I check the assembly with the option "top level".  I already added "IF ( MODELNAME EQ ISO* ) NOCHECK" to condition.mcc But no luck. Creo keeps modifying those models nevertheless. If I open the screw itself and run model check, I get a "nocheck", which I expect.  BUT Creo list the model as "modified" anyway. 

Hi,I am trying to run a dynamic simulation for my assembly. It contains the the lever arm with the pivot at the center of the arm. One end I have mass which generates the force of 25N in one direction. I apply 600N of force on the other end in opposite direction (force curve will start at (0,0) to (0.5ms, 600N)). I have the below setting and it seems like the lever is not rotating. Do we need to change any setting if the duration is very small. 

Hello!In my case, I would like to plot an S–N curve for fatigue life.I need the initial slope to be m = 3 or m = 5, and after the knee point, the slope should change to m = 22, specifically for the high-cycle fatigue region.On the Y-axis, a stress range up to 300 MPa is sufficient.On the X-axis, I need the range from 0 to 4 × 10⁷ cycles, and importantly, the X-axis must be in logarithmic scale.I have attached an example S–N curve below for better understanding.I noticed that there is a logarithmic scaling function available in Mathcad plots, but I am not able to apply it correctly for my specific case. BrNLAAL  

Hi,anyone can tell me how turn off the  "welcome to Creo browser" when Creo 9 is turn on? I can't find on the config setting  

I've changed laptop recently and don't have MathCAD anymore. So, I requested a few times through website's online form, but no email received so far. Could you please explain where the problem is?

Creo+ 13.2 delivers enhancements to help users collaborate effectively and achieve higher-quality results on their best designs in less time. Surfacing introduces piece-to-piece parameterization and improved control of tangent curve lengths – making it easier to build precise surfaces with fewer iterations. Multibody design is more flexible with better creation and updates of assemblies derived from multibody parts. Simulation-driven design in Creo incorporates the latest Ansys solvers and simplified bolt elements for patterns and preloads, giving teams more accurate studies with less setup effort. Gain major time savings in composite design with significant improvements to reuse existing designs. In manufacturing, Creo+ 13.2 has a new spiral toolpath type, gouge protection, and a closed-loop option to reduce errors in high-speed milling steps.Read the release notes to learn more. 

Any / All,I would love if Creo had a way to move items on a drawing in small increments easily. Preferably I'd like to use the keyboard arrow keys to "nudge" those items.For context and my immediate need I have a symbol that I've place on a drawing. I can drag it around with the mouse to coarsely place it but then it'd be nice to nudge it with the arrow keys on my keyboard to exactly where I want it to be finally located. This is purely for aesthetic reason at the moment but I could see where, in the future, I might want to sketch something onto a view that needs to line up with other geometry.Is this a current Creo function that I just haven't found?If it's not then is there a way I can maybe tie a move mapkey to my arrow keys or something similar?Google searches on this result in some suggestions to use the shift or ctrl keys with those arrow keys to seemingly do what I want but so far none of that has worked.Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

Hello Team, Could you please help me for below issue.Creo drawing lifecycle state in title block mismatch with Drawings state in Windchill. But it is taking related CAD part/ASM Windchill state. Thank youKumar B

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the old stunt bike MDO demo models (from the Pro/Mechanism era, if I remember correctly).If anyone still has them, could you please share them? Thank you in advance.

The bolt shouldn't need a nut. I'm just pulling against the slot to see if we can simulate the failure.I can't imagine that would need to create an imaginary nut for this. What is the best way to create a contact and maintain the cool bolt functionality? (without a nut and another imaginary part for the imaginary nut to connect to) The actual assembly does not have a nut at the end of this bolt and I'm not testing the "pull out" of this bolt in the other part - just the failure of the thin area of the slot. 

Creo 10.0.7.0I am having trouble to get the result as shown in the picture.How to get parameters of each part´s multibody in a table?I know I have to create a parameter for each BODY, including each PART and for ASSEMBLY.REPEAT REGION allow me to get parameters from ASSY and SUB ASSY, as so as PARTS, but there is no option to insert a parameter like ASM>MBR>BODY>USER DEFINED. 

I'm looking for a way to export or save as multiple CREO 4.0 part (prt) files to step (stp) files into a windows folder.

Hi,I have 3000 Creo Part and drawings in one folder. Currently all the parts are having some free text in the drawings (Surface Treatment: Painting) , I want to change it to new free text (Surface treatment: Powder coating). Also I want to add revision for that in the same drawing. It will be two column like Revision No (A, B,C...) & Description ( Was painting). How do I do this activity in mass?

I am using creo flow analysis (creo 11.0.4) with the base license. I would like to simulate a free standing centrifugal (radial) fan in a simple air channel. How do I simulate that?I can create a fluid volume and at the locus of the fan I create a circular interface. I can now choose "fan" for that interface and add a local function as a dp-curve. So far so good. However, creo considers that fan automatically as axial fan and, therefore, the fluid flows straight through this interface. I could add swirl (radial and tangential velocity) to the fan, but I have to add these values in m/s (and I don't know these). Furthermore, I can not select the rotation direction. I saw that alternatively I could choose "rotating wall" as boundary condition if I have a solid that represents the fan blades but I could not manage to create a fan with that. I am also not interested in the flow right through/in the fan but rather through the whole channel. What is the difference between "rotating

Dear Sir/Madam,I need to perform calculations for my studies and have set up a Windows 10 computer and installed my student version of Mathcad 15. Unfortunately, Mathcad 15 cannot be activated because the license server is no longer available.Can you help me activate Mathcad 15?Thank you in advance.Best regards, Dieter

I have a code that is looking through the matrix and selects creepage based on my input parameters (PD, MG and working voltage WV). It works great....in picture 1. picture 1 Now, I want to add a linear interpolation between 2 values of the voltage. I made a variable "a" doing linear interpolation and tested it works as expected, which it do. Column variable for searching in matrix is hardcoded at the beginning for test. Now, since it work, code A (linear interpolation of the creepage) replace code B (that is using only search method w/o interpolation) in the original code. That is the only change in original code. Code A is tested it works, gives values I need but after A replaces B function that is calling creepage(WV,PD,MG) is complaining "These units are not compatible". What am I missing? I dont see any problem there. thanks Running on Mathcad Prime 11.0.1.0

What option on config.pro  OR dwg.dtl controls default table text?See attachment image for proper understanding of issue/question.  Thank you! Creo is King!!!

Hi all, I have an assembly with 4 sub-assembliesUnder this 4 Subs, i have some components I would like to obtain something like this, but automated with a BOM and special Symbol in place of BOM BalloonsBut... I tried:- Nested tables- A table with several repeat regions (one by Sub-assembly)- table with model columns Without any success.How could i obtain the above result with CREO? Regards

We have an issue with a single user that is unable to send email from within Parametric 10.0.9.0. It will save as and generate files without issue but will just close out of the program entirely when it would usually be opening Outlook. It does this with all file types. Event viewer shows xtop.exe crashing but not much in the way of info. Other users can send without issue. Outlook has been repaired and stripped of add-ins to test. It is functioning fine.

Hi,I am new to this Creo composites module, i would like to seek your help on few queries related to composites.1. While we add multiple Ply on a model, how can we change the sequence when we are trimming the ply based on my requirements. Currently the ply sequence is opposite from my expectations. Attached image for your reference.2. How do we understand what is wrong when we see the Drape status as can't able to drape in drape manager window? What should be corrected? how to analyze?3. Can we manage the length of the ply manually? likewise while we apply the first ply we should be able to manage the length or key in the length value? is this possible? ThanksNaresh
