“The project has definitely made me more curious about all the kinds of subjects I had to delveinto for the project… also resilience, I think, is a big part of it.“ Education is vital for inspiring the engineers of tomorrow. In this special episode of the podcastwe ask: are we encouraging enough young people to go into engineering to meet the demandfor innovation? We speak to Jordan Cox from PTC’s Education segment about the importanceof inspiring the next generation to study STEM subjects, and how the company is supportingacademia in creating the engineers of the future. We also head to Germany to meet Steve Sandhoop, a high school student at the Gymnasium inden Filder Benden, who is living proof that giving students access to technology to get involvedin engineering can yield great results. Steve created a robot arm designed to carry out kneesurgery as part of his final project at school. Not content with just building the robot, he alsocreated an accurate life-size model of a human
“You see a photograph and you’d be hard pressed to say that’s a model… I can still get tricked.” Many of us will have nostalgic memories of building Airfix model kits of planes as a child. In theUK, the name 'Airfix' has become practically synonymous with plastic models of the iconic British WW2 fighter plane, the Spitfire. However, Airfix (and their parent company HornbyHobbies) make model kits of a wide range of vehicles and aircraft, from sports cars to classicand modern jets, trains, tanks and even warships. Their models range in complexity all the wayfrom starter kits to very complex designs. Senior Designer Chris Joy tells us about the development of new kits and the detailed researchthat is required to make Airfix models the most detailed and accurate representations of planesand vehicles as possible. He explains the artistry involved in putting together the smallestdetails on model planes, including making the outside look weathered and beaten, anddiscusses how computer-aided
“The genesis of Xenith was basically: there’s gotta be a better way.” Athletes who play American Football regularly face high-impact tackles, the force of which canfeel like being hit by a baby whale. As more research is being done into the potential effects ofrepeated head trauma on an athlete’s health, there is a renewed focus on safety measures inthe sport being driven from the top down by the NFL. Xenith was founded in 2006 by Vin Ferrara, who had played college football as a quarterbackand was interested in creating a new game-changing type of helmet. Xenith’s unique approachis to use adaptive technology which allows the helmet to move independently to the athlete’shead on impact, protecting them from the majority of the force. Now, Xenith’s helmets are usedacross the globe and the company makes various different types of protective equipmentincluding helmets, shoulder pads and core guards from their headquarters in Detroit, Michigan. In this episode Chief Engineer Ron Jadischke
“When it comes to creating a home… we’re creating future memories for people”. Did you know that buildings account for 39% of all global energy related carbon emissions?From the energy used in central heating to the materials used in their construction, our homesare a huge contributor to our carbon footprint. So how do we create sustainable homes for thefuture? Architectural firm Warehome, based in East London, is trying to answer that question. In this episode, Founder Joe Stuart tells us about how Warehome specialises in the Germandesign approach “Passivhaus” and takes us on a tour of his home (also the first house thatWarehome built and designed.) Find out how they’re using carefully considered buildingmaterials such as timber to make the building process more sustainable, and designing thespace so there is no need for a central heating system. He also explains how important it is todesign a space that is personalised and a home, and how virtual reality can help to deliver thatfor
Technology has become integrated into every aspect of the way we work, especially for peoplewho spend a big chunk of time sitting at a desk for their job. But whether you’re updating a document on your iPad, or dialling into Zoom from your laptop,this tech is not hands free. So frontline workers like paramedics, engineers, mechanics - peoplewho have their hands tied doing their job - often miss out on the edge and convenience ofcomputers. And that’s where Assisted Reality and RealWear’s incredible suite of hands-free, voice-enabledhead wearables comes in. To find out about this tech, and in particular their flagship product the Navigator 520, ourreporter Joel Shupack visited RealWear’s HQ in Vancouver, Washington, to meet chairman andCEO Andrew Crosstowski (Chrostowski).
Hello,
Help please. Give me please PRIME 6 or picture!
Are Shrink wrap skeleton surfaces NOT viewable in Creo View Lite? Is it better to use Stp, iges, etc.instead?I'm trying to route some piping/wiring on a unit. But NOT having to load the whole unit. Because it seems to slow down my computer. I'm trying to share this with my colleagues via Creo viewer Lite.Is there an alternative?
Is there a way to transfer design data from EPLAN to Creo Schematics?For example some neutral data like STEP for 3D? I have found article from 2010 without answers, maybe there is something which works nowadays?
I don't know what to do. Here is my code, the function ProDtlsyminstdataVartextsSet() returns the PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS. It confused me.ProDtlsyminst sym_inst; ProDtlsyminstdata data; ProDtlvartext text; /*initialize...*/ stutas = ProDtlvartextAlloc((wchar_t*)L"test", (wchar_t*)L"2.5", &text); status = ProDtlsyminstDataGet(&sym_inst, PRODISPMODE_SYMBOLIC, &data); status = ProDtlsyminstdataVartextsSet(data, &text); status = ProDtlsyminstModify(&sym_inst, data);
I can not install MathCadPrime Version 7, but I need it to exchange data with my colleagues. This is not about the trial edition. It is about the real edition of MathCadPrime 7. The failure message is: "Nicht zulässig".
Hi all, I've got an assembly - which I can't show its entirety for obvious reasons. It contains many components that are fixed, but two of which have 'Pin' constraints. This one is pinned to one fixed component - with no following mechanism components. For some reason when I grab it and move it, it makes the camera highly sensitive. Please see video attached. I tried restarting Creo, and restarting my computer - the same issue occurs. It temporarily goes away when I delete and re-add/re-constrain the component, but comes back later on. Thanks,Jeff I have no clue hwt
Hello all, Would anyone know why a model would display hidden lines when the display setting is "shading with edges"? I have included a screen capture of a portion of the model. I thought there may be a setting for Hidden Line Removal that was modified by a user, but didn't find anything like that on the web. Using Creo Parametric 8.0.1.0 Thanks in advance, Phil

Greetings! I made a table using Repeat Region > add > two-D, and selected the family table parameters, the names of the family table instances, and the values assigned to each one. However, I don't want a column to appear in this list, and I have no idea how to delete it. Could anyone tell me if there is a way to delete any of these columns? I can't even change the row or column size dimensions...
As we are expanding into other areas of the world, we will need Mathcad licences covering both Europe and Asia. Is it possible to do this with one set of floating licences? Or, do we need to have one licence server for each country/region?
I have some VBS and Python scripting files that allow me to generate Mathcad 15 files using the XML data that Mathcad 15 is built on.In Prime, it looks like the XML formatting is no longer supported, so I was wondering if there is any way to automate the Mathcad Prime converter tool to automatically convert the 15 files to Prime.Is there an API for the converter tool, or is there any way to run VBS scripts to interface with the converter tool? I was envisioning generating the Mathcad 15 files the way I normally do, then append a conversion step to my scripting files by pointing the converter tool to the automatically generated 15 files.

In the solve block there is an issue with my vectorized values where even if they are vectorized the solve block will still ask them to be in vector form.Also, for some odd reason I believe my if statement asks for a scalar result even though I am following my professors' steps in which his if statement works.Attached you will find the worksheet in question. Thank you.
I just signed up for Creo Elements Express 8.0 and got the message that there is no internet connection even when my internet is working fine. The screen asks for a Proxy Name and Port, but I don't know what I should put in. I am able to bypass the screen and got a 72 hour countdown to use the software offline. Will I have to pay for the software after 72 hours? Why won't it connect to my internet through my computer?Thank you,
