hi All since eastern, we are using creo 7.unfortunately, we have huge performance issues on bigger assemblies.we already checked config option, graphic card settings etc. but nothing seems to work. some basic features or working steps take up to 10 min (copy paste a part, start the measuring feature, simply rotate the model). does anyone have experience with similar problems or knows some settings/requirements which need to be done on hardware side? we are working on windows 10 laptops, 32GB RAM, 4GB Graphic card RAM GDDR5 or GDDR6 thanks in advance.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0I've just dug out on old, legacy (10 years) creo parametric file and opened in Parametric 9. When I look under View->Saved Orientations I don't get the standard lists of Front, Back, Top etc (see screenshot above). Do I need to somehow convert to latest Creo version to recover that, or is there something else I should do? Or do I need to start again? Under File I do not see File>Import.

HiI want to create a loop that for the next interval add the results in the previous interval etc. I have made an attempt in the following program, but something is wrong. Any help is appreciated.      

Hello, I have a list of material size in an Excel column. Is it possible to create a list of these sizes in a dropdown list? In mathcad 15, there was a way to create this list manually using controls. Thanks,Sam 

Does anyone know why a simulation would run past the iteration limit? I had a run going yesterday set to the default 500 limit, and I didn't realize it ran right past it. I manually stopped it at the 516th iteration. I double checked and the limit was set correctly, so what could have caused that? Thanks!

Hello, I've been working on a 2-DOF calculation sheet in Mathcad and encountered some difficulties. I've attached two attempts at solving the problem, but unfortunately, neither of them seems to be working as expected. Could someone help me provide guidance on how to correctly solve this 2-DOF problem in Mathcad? Any insights or corrections would be immensely helpful. You can find the attached Mathcad files for my two attempts here attachment .Thank you in advance for your assistance. Your expertise will be of great value in resolving this issue. Best regards,Albert

I have a robot leg CAD and I need to run FEA on several key poses. Now I have these key poses stored in 'drag component' as different Snapshots (see picture below). And I have Simp Rep that hides all the non-structural components. However when I open Simulate, the model always seem to go to the default pose ('neutral_pose'). Any idea how to simulate diffrent poses?  

I have a Creo assembly (saved as from another assembly) that, when I go to open in Creo, crashes the session. I provided PTC Tech Support with the assembly and they can't replicate the crash - i.e. it opens fine on their end. It doesn't open on any of the systems we have. I can only open the model if I select "Open Subset" and then activate the Master Rep from within there. But if I forget and from Windchill select "Open In Creo", it crashes Creo. The same crash happens if I export the files to the C:\ drive and open from there so it isn't Windchill related.  Creo writes a handful of files in addition to the traceback.log to the start directory. And it's been writing a Creo file in there that doesn't open in Creo ("Cannot retrieve file" says the error when I tried). That Creo file is explicitly called out in the std.out file:Is there a way to find out what the file is in real life? Does anyone have any other troubleshooting exercises or codes to decipher the tr

Hello,How to move (in the right direction) or eliminate this dotted line within prime worksheet?  

I am using Mathcad Prime Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0We have somes old Mathcad 15 files that we need to convert to Prime but they have locked sections and we don't have a Mathcad 15 software anymore to open and unlock it. What are our options excepting to redo all the files from scratch?I try several times to open a case to PTC but for somes reasons the button open a case doesn't work...Thank you!

Hello friends, I am a newbie to Mathcad, could you please help me with this? I'm trying to make a spreadsheet to determine the farthest vector from a line. Thank you     

I can define this function and it works. What I cannot do is the partial derivative with respect to some of the independent variables, written as a component of a vector. Any suggestions?. I want to do the derivative with respect to and he writes me this   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.5.0I want to do structural analysis for an simple cantilever beam with varying force data from csv file can we do that in creo with its stimulaion

In Creo  Simulate, is there a method to define a rotary joint between two components in a four-bar linkage mechanism? Will apply constraints such that the assembly is fully constrained. I've tried the 'pin' joint, but it's wrt the world, not between two parts. I've also tried 'displacement' with a body-attached cylindrical csys, but no luck. 'Contact' option also doesn't work. The rotary joint seems to be a pretty basic function in FEM/FEA, am I missing anything? 

Hello, I am working on a few automation projects on Creo 4.0 using the VBA API toolkit.I have set a macro that searches for empty layers in my model and deletes them : this works as intended but after running the macro, the deleted layers still show in the layer tree.They can't be interacted with so they are indeed taken as deleted, but hitting regenerate, or repaint does not erase them from the tree, for the regenerate it is because for creo there is nothing to regenerate (I get the message 'part' not changed since last regen)However, if I do any change in the model (add a sketch or an extrude), the layer tree refreshes and removes the deleted layers.I am looking for any idea to get the layer tree to refresh because even though the intended function works just fine and I can just keep going and it'll update after a change, I don't find it "tidy" to have these ghost layers lying around ^^ I thought about creating a dummy sketch to force the regen and then delete it, but I wonder i

 When I try to use the symbolic operation function, the message 'Unknown error: symbolic_engine_unresponsive' appears and it is not working properly.

I have a Mathcad Prime 8.0 key, but i don't know where I can dowload Mathcad Prime 8.0 and not the 9.0 version.

I own a legacy Mathcad software program, which I want to install on my current windows 11 workstation.  I was p[rompted while attempting to retreive a license of the following;  license can not be issued and I must go to the web site and apparently purchase a later version of Mathcad.  First of all, just exactly how does this only available option work?  Secondly, monies are not budgeted for this purchase.  Where exactly does this leave me?

Hello Everybody! I am somewhat new to Mathcad programing but I have faced with the task which required cycles in MathCAD to be solved. The task:i have a set of functions with the common function variable (tetta), which is defined in the interval  (0-360) with the step =1. And also I have a criterion, I need to crete a cycle which calculates my functions with variable (tetta) from 0 - 360 and the compare all function result with criterion. If it meets criterion conditions the stop calculations and return Pmud. If it does not meet criterion condition do calculation with new Pmud = Pmud + 0.01. See the attached mathcad v14 file with comments. Thanks in advance for your comments!        

Hi,   I will like to copy the active part in Creo to a folder outside Windchill by using Jlink. Can any of you help? Allan    

As per the original post.      I am atttempting to write  a batch file to open and automatically run a specific license, THEN if i can get past that point i would like to have it login to winchill automatically also. HOWEVER I am on the fist step and i cannot seem to bypass the license options window and i have to select enter each time. would you be willing to let me know what your backend batch file code was that when the users select #6 is starts in design essesntials instead of the native filing ..etc?       currently i am simply calling the code below but it has no direction as to which license to use so it promts a window for selection:   CALL "Z:\CREO4\Creo 4.0\M150\Parametric\bin\Parametric.exe"

Hello,Does anyone have an idea in which dimensioning type or standard this dimensioning frame is used ?In Modeling and Drafting it is called FLAG in English In German in Modeling it is called "Markierung", in Drafting "Schild".     Text can also be marked with this frame, there it is clear to me. Thanks in advance. Friedhelm    

is there any way to sort simple repeat region ? 

Hello all, I am trying to create an upper level skeleton file that its parent assembly can leverage the "substitute" feature in the view manager to cascade changes to lower parts. Below this "Module" level assembly would be a sub assembly that contains its own skeleton file aka "Sub Skeleton* that is leveraged for a flexible part. In this sub skeleton I am trying to use copy geometry to look "Up" at the family table as a whole.  The interaction I am looking for is as such. The Module level skeleton will have a Csys that will adjust between two determined "X" coordinate locations.The Sub-Assembly I want to look at the family table and simply look at the location depending on what instance is leveraged, but my intention is that this sub-assembly will not have to be two separate parts because it is trying to view get ID's from what thinks is two separate feature ID's.Does anyone have any idea of this is possible, or have a suggested way of doing this?   

It say "Program ID already expired" when I try to install the license fr PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0.
