Hello Everyone.From :   How to plot an Arc in 3D with Mathcad 15 ?Thanks in advance for your time and help.Best Regards.Loi.

This should be simple.  I have an issue where I define an equation and get a useful result.  But further down in the mathcad sheet I just need to echo the equation that defines the variable to the user so he can make other determinations from the equation.  How do I do that?  See attached. I need the means to do this in Mathcad 15 and in Prime 8.0.     

I designed and 3d printed this squirrel picnic table using bamboo wood. It all snaps together like a puzzle with some gorilla glue. Screw an acorn to the top and put it outside on a tree. I used a master modeling technique where the entire assembly is comprised of a single part model with multiple bodies that are driven by relations. I allowed the bodies to intersect and used a boolean cut to subtract the differences. I used flexible modeling to offset tight fitting areas with extra space. Then an auto-round on all edges of all bodies. I exported each body as a reference part and arranged them on my print tray. Took six only hours to print. Designed in a Creo Parametric 10

Hello, I can't get the two terms to add up. i can get the results individually. Attached is Mathcad 15 sheet. Thanks    

How to add a component level parameter to next top level assembly family table ?   

We're on Creo 4 M100 and moving to Creo 8 as part of a Windchill upgrade.  We're going thru the corporate config.pro in the loadpoint verifying options and mapkeys when this came about; !--- TURN DATUMS OFF ---mapkey df #environment;#disp dtmpln;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return;!--- TURN DATUMS ON ---mapkey dn #environment;#disp dtmpln;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return;!--- TURN AXES OFF ---mapkey af #environment;#disp axes;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return;!--- TURN AXES ON ---mapkey an #environment;#disp axes;#done-return;#view;#repaint;#done-return; These are some very old entries which reference the old Pro/E menu manager.  Yet, for some reason, they still work.  Is the menu manager still running in the background?    

I downloaded an iges file of a vented screw. I would like to modify it to make it longer. It is currently 8mm long, and I want it to be 50 mm long. I have tried to mirror it as a way of elongating it, but the ends don't mirror correctly.  Is there a way to cut a section off? I could copy and paste the middle threads to get to my desired length.     

Is there anyway to display the result?  I'm using ptc mathcad prime 7.0.0.0

 When I try to create a new project in Creo schematics, I get an error reading "Specified directory in location is not empty. What is causing this error? I am using Creo Schematics version 8.0.0.0.   

Hello,I am trying to recreate this model from solidworks modelmania 2013. (https://blogs.solidworks.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/Model-Mania-2013-Phase-1-Drawing.jpg) I thought about using the shell feature for the offset walls of value '3' circled below.I believe I would be able to do this by using the shell, exclude surface feature however I was unable to do that; and it does make sense since the surface is not extended down into the other surface.In the end I decided to use non-default thickness and it worked fine. I wanted to ask how you would approach this? As always I really appreciate all your help. Using Creo 9.0

I have a set of rollers that when I drag the assembly need to adjust the angle of the rollers. I can do it in one section of the tube, but not the whole length. How do I identify the mechanisms? I did best with a 3D contact. The parts are highlighted. Move the orange assembly, the magenta rollers adjust around the cyan tube and rollers stay on each side.  This post was an admin edit and originally posted on August 11th 2023 8:27 AM

I spent a fair portion of my career taking measurements of experimental data.  When I first started the senior engineer would review the data and discard measurements that he deemed false.  Discarding data simply because you thought it was wrong struck me as very questionable and I spent a fair amount of effort developing a method (using T statistics) to identify "bad" data.   It turns out that there is a statistically rigorous calculation to do just that, developed (and published in 1852) by Benjamin Peirce.  That method is developed and demonstrated in the attached Prime 4 Express file.   Thoughts and suggestions?

SO I'm making a project to calculate the surface areas of a sheet metal part that has a surface finish, two types "finish1" and "finish2", but I only have access to the free java object toolkit. I know I cannot use the surface finishes nor the annotations. I had an idea to attach a note of a specific type to a surface with a surface finish and then get the surface its attached to then get its area. Is this possible? I've tried GetAttachment() as it is a DetailNoteItem and doing GetParent which  returns with the part which I think isn't helpful as i none of the model items from that are surfaces. Is there another way?     //Surface Finishes private HashMap <String, Double> getFinishes(Solid solid){ double finish1 = 0; double finish2 = 0; HashMap <String, Double> finishes = new HashMap <String, Double>(); try { ModelItems modelItems = solid.ListItems(ModelItemType.ITEM_DTL_NOTE); for (int i = 0; i<modelItems.getarraysize

Hello Everyone.From :How to plot the Fermat point of a triangle with Mathcad ?Thanks in advance for your time and help.Best Regards.Loi.

We want to use "ALT" parts (very much against my recommendations but we have to do BOM's to the specs...) and while it's easy enough to change the quantity to "ALT" or "AR" (for bulk items like sealant etc.), I'd like to actually manually change the index (EDIT:  right column listed as "ITEM") to have 2 #11's.  I'd also like to be able to keep the correct quantity for "ALT" parts since that's good information.  I've been working on it and I don't THINK it's possible, but I'm not 100% sure it can't be done.  Or if it CAN be done, can it be done without a gigantic set of relations at the table level?   Any ideas?     Thx!

In previous versions I had no problems opening Creo Parametric model files by dragging and dropping them into the graphics window from Windows File Explorer.  Now this function to open files does not work at all, not for part models and not for dragging part models into an assembly. What changed in Creo Parametric 9.0 that this function will not work??

Hi All we have several UDF defined for our daily work.in general, they are all similar build, the first "feature" is a csys on which a cut out is placed.the csys was mandatory to make the feature (cut out) flexible. now we are facing a small problem with that. if we create a sketch with point, we are not able to place the udf on one point during creating a pattern. is there any possibility to do that? actually the question is, is it possible to place csys on a point? br 

Hi experts,  this is my original equation, and I want to do the differentiate for every variable and simplify. but, I can only do it one by one, I think it takes me too much time if I have more variable in the equation. I would like to know any other methods could help me do it quickly. the attached file version is Mathcad 15. 

I am using Creo Parametric 6.0.3.0I have data file type .STP, the size about 1000 MB when I open by Creo Parametric, there are warning box show Creo is not responding. Do you have solution for open the large file or extract file(Assembly paty) to small size (sub part) ? Anyone who have experience about this issue, kindly guide me.
