I have a cheat sheet of beam equation, all expressed as functions of variables such as w, P, l, etc. The challenge arises when I apply it to compute load combinations, as the beam equation becomes visually convoluted. A reviewer would only see a series of functions, necessitating them to backtrack through calculations to identify the specific function in use. An alternative is to redefine my input variables (w, P, l, etc.) and directly solve the beam formula without using functions, essentially copying the equation. However, this becomes cumbersome due to the need to clear variables for each subsequent equation. Is there a method to explicitly solve my functions and revert them to the original equation?   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0When I select gohome on Creo it ouputs G0 I need this to output G28 command is there a way to change that? I am currently using Option File Generator add on to modify post.

I want to create the sub-assembly from the main assembly which is available now.  I'm using Creo 7.0.4.0.I don't see any option to create the sub-assembly by selecting the components which i want to move to sub-assembly. Refer attached image.  Could you please suggest an efficient way to create the sub-assembly from the main assembly ?   

The disappearing cursor is being worked on, but now I have had another oddity come up in family table cells. The IT department has recommended that I check with PTC on this for possible RAM allocation error. The issues is that I had a MasterCAM logo show up in (2) of my family table cells. It is not very repeatable.   I took a screen dump so here are two snippets of the family table:     Thanks, Dale    

Hi Everyone, Any chance anyone has an idea why I am getting odd units?  I did the exponent by hand below just to check and it comes up with 1 like it should.   Thanks in advance!formula:Exponent check:  Version: PTC Mathcad Prime Express 9.0.0.0

I would like the ability to create a best fit line, circle, or arc from datum points.  I frequently have to go back and forth from NX to CREO to get this functionality.  You should be able to select graphically, or by pointset feature and create a line, circle or arc and also know the average and max deviation.

As per the original post.    HI, i have the same problem here. if i use ProSolidFeatVisit() function to visit the assembly, how do i transfer between feature and modelitem? which value of ProSolidFeatVisit() function should be used? and do you mind share your code here, many thanks.

Hello Everyone, I have an issue with Creo regarding 2d drawing. I can create and do my 2d drawing without issue. BUT... when I want to re-open my 2d drawing, it does not open and complain that the PART (.prt) template is not in the same directory: Of course, my template is not in my working folder. The templates are on a shared folder. If I copy the template .prt to my folder, I can solve the issue on open it... but it's not really convenient. The goal was to have all template on a shared folder so everyone can access to it when creating a new file. Thank you for your help    

I have a step file assembly imported into creo and the drawing BOM table sees it as a part. I cannot seem to correct this with any methods I am familiar with.     

Hello Community, I have the following task to solve and i dont know how to do it. I guess its just possible with programming well maybe someone can help me.In the attached sheet i have a pooling problema optimization.Could anybody help me to find coding to solve pooling problem optimization using Mathcad?Thanks in advance GreetingsCarlosRomero 

Has anyone created the "easy" hole table that includes counterbore depths, counterbore diameters, countersink depths, countersink angles and complete thread callouts. Maybe a new .hol file that calls variables? Tried tying parameters to each one, but even for standard, non-threaded holes they have to exist somewhere. I need a self-contained file I can call in my prodetail or config.pro.   

Again I need help dealing with symbolic arithmetic in MC14. In the German mathematical school magazine "Alpha", issue 2/1993, I found reference to a strange sentence. In the limit towards 0 it concerns the ratio of the area of a curve segment to the area of a connected tangent triangle. Proving this theorem for special curves whose functional equation is known is not difficult. But the theorem applies to arbitrary, often continuously differentiable, curves. The associated proof in the original work involves a lot of writing work. I would like to understand this using the symbolic calculation in MC14. I have attached a “test file” for this purpose. Unfortunately my calculation fails because of the MC message that terms are becoming too large. Maybe I made mistakes too. But the calculation method is easy to describe. I ask you to check whether MC14 can do the calculations symbolically.Kind regards, Alfred Flaßhaar

Hello! I am struggling a bit with the symbolic representation of some complex problems. Please, take a look at the attached file. How can I properly define complex function on form z=r*e^(i*phi)? Should I write z(r,phi)=r*e^(i*phi)? If I do so, then the symbolic evaluation of complex potentials (Phi and Psi) doesn't get along. Also, I am trying to use Re and Im functions to define the real and Imaginary parts of "z" without any success. The same goes to the conjugate of "z": it should be z*=r*e^(-i*phi).Hopefully somebody can help me out. UPDATE:I did some progress, but still can't define properly function "z" without Mathcad telling that some variable is undefined. Updated sheet is attached. Best regards, Sergey   

Hi, I am using Creo 8.  I have added a skeleton in the assembly to show where certain sub-assemblies get installed in relation to the higher level assembly. The skeleton is hidden in the model. In the drawing, I can show the skeleton by:In the Drawing View dialog box select View Display Under Skeleton model display, select Show(Article - CS64364)I am able to set the display such that the skeleton is outlined as phantom, however, when export the drawing in PDF, the skeleton does not show in the drawing. The only way I have managed to show the skeleton in the PDF is by unhiding the skeleton in the model. Once I do that, the skeleton gets printed.  Is there a way where I can leave the skeleton hidden in the model, but show in the drawing AND exported/printed PDF?  Thanks!

Hi,The partner sent me the mathcad 14/15. I try to converter to mathcad 8 prime but failed"This worksheet contains 4 locked collapsed areas. Locked collapsed areas are not supported in the current version of PTC Mathcad. You must unlock or expand areas before conversion."Please support to expand the areas or converter to Mathcad Prime 8 ThanksTuong    

Hi, i've been trying to use ListFeaturesByType in VBA in Excel but didn't succeed.      Sub FixParts() On Error GoTo Error ' put your code here Dim model As IpfcModel Set model = session.CurrentModel 'creating Fix Constraint Dim constraint As IpfcComponentConstraint Dim constructorOfConstraints As CCpfcComponentConstraint Set constructorOfConstraints = New CCpfcComponentConstraint Set constraint = constructorOfConstraints.Create(EpfcASM_CONSTRAINT_FIX) 'component path Dim solid As IpfcSolid Dim features As IpfcFeatures solid = CType(model, IpfcSolid) features = solid.ListFeaturesByType(True, EpfcFeatureType.EpfcFEATTYPE_COMPONENT) 'applying constraints ' end your code here Done: Exit Sub Error: Debug.Print Err.Description conn.Disconnect (5) Debug.Print "Disconnected" End Sub      First thing.

Dear All,the activation key received for Modeling Express 6.0 is not working, eventhough it is the actual key received from PTC.I did not use the program for a longer period but this always worked in the past.Any idea how to go on?Yours Toby    

Hello All,I am having a requirement to change the color/appearance of part/assembly with respect to requirement from flexibility window. I am having only 1 model for cap as shown in image and it is having 2 part numbers differentiated by color code. 1-for Green and 1-for Red. I would like to change the colors from "Red" to "Green" or vice versa with the help of flexibility window when assembled it in its upper level assembly. I am not sure which parameter does PTC Creo 7.0 has for appearance so that i can select that to add in CAP part, so when i am going to assemble this part in upper level assembly i can simply select color code/write in desired color code for my part to shown in that assembly.I did not want to use creo family table/PTC_MATERIAL_NAME parameter/quilts(a new feature) for separate color because it has to be done on many assembly/part.Kindly help, Thank you.   

It is the site of the article Игра в кубики или Кривая n-го порядка и m точек Readers can see animations and download Mathcad-sheets in replies PS Sorry - it must be not a question but a blog. But now we have not blogs here!   

There are revision parameters in the 2D template I made, but after the new project drawing, the revision parameters are not called successfully, and the parameters are lost. How to solve this problem?  2D template：New engineering drawing：

We are a PTC Reseller in Brazil and Latin America. How can we get access to Creo+ ?      

What is the purpose of a having a markup tab in Creo View Express and Creo Lite, If those markups cannot be saved? I'm trying to communicate with my engineers, They are either working remote or in the field and all they have are these viewers. Are they strictly for viewing only?

I want to make pdfs from a large amount of Mathcad 15.0.0 files since my license is expiring and I only want to work on Mathcad prime. How exactly does it work with the Mathcad 15 API or where do I get it from. Best RegardsFlamur Bytyqi
