Hello! In our company we use Creo Parapetric for modelling of energy-cabinets.Now we want to create renderings for use as product-pictures.It must not be very high-quality pictures with lights and so on.Is there any possibility to do this without the rendering-licence? My second question is about the file-types which can be created out of Creo.What we actually need is an isolated (cropped?) image with a transparent background. So that we can put it on variant templates (for print-use, for web-use...). Is there any possibility to do this out of Creo? I would be happy if you had best practice examples for me! Best regards,John

Hello everybody,I was trying to calculate reactions on the supports of a shaft.In particular, the shaft has an eccentricity on one side, and is supported by two bearings. Moreover, the motion of the shaft is imposed by a drive motor linked by a spur gear connection,Using Creo Mechanism I tried to model the supports with a bearing connection and a gimbal connection, in order to have 0 Redundancies. I attach a simplified version of the model I would like to analyze.In this particular case of eccentric shaft, the reactions calculated by Creo are completely different from the values I would expect.If I try to suppress the eccentricity of the shaft, instead, the reactions become correct.It seems that, for some reason, Creo doesn't succeed in calculate eccentric shaft reactions on a shaft constrained in this particular way.Is there anybody that can explain me this behaviour or even better, can help me find a way to correctly calculate these reactions?  Thank youEleonora &

Hello, I am trying to do a "list" of numbers in Mathcad, like that :(4.6, 5.6, 8.8). It is for programming purpose as I want to do an "If" condition if my variable is equal to one of those values. What I really want to do is get α_v in function of the grade of the bolt and if the shear stress passes through the threaded portion of the bolt (see pic).  

Can a published and copied geometry from one skeleton model be extruded into another model? For instance, I published and copied viewing window geometry from Z model to V model, is it now possible to extrude and remove material on V model with this geometry? If yes, can anyone explain how? (Please refer to the attached screenshot)       

Need to replace a string by a string in drawing notes in creo parametric toolkit 4.0. The drawing contains 5 sheet, need to replace a particular string by another string in all 5sheet. Please suggest API.    

Hello. I'm running a similar analysis, and currently, I'm facing problems to decrease the dynamic effects. @ptc-4639841, about this Dynamic Analysis that you've mentioned, have you compared the values with the Static condition?   In my model, if I run a Dynamic Analysis, the pin "X" of my 4-bar system will get ~18000 N, but if I use Force Balance, this same pin (in the same equipment position) results in only ~14800 N. I have run the analysis with 0,1 mm/s using relative tolerance of 1E-5, and friction is turned off. The accelerations at the fastest point of my mechanism are small.  Magnitude and mm/s². The peak in the graph occurs when one cylinder stops and the second starts. At the position mentioned before, the graph gives me 0,00075 mm/s². Sadly, I don't have the BMX license to try James' solution using Multi Objective.   Do you have any idea why, even with these small velocity and accelerations, the difference between dynamic and static is so big?   Thanks! &

Hello! My name is Cosmin and  I have a problem so I hope somebody can give me a solution.. I cant open this document . I have Mathcad Prime 5.0.0.0 . Please someone can convert for me ! Thank you !!!    

I am trying to use simple equation but getting error Is there anything I am missing over here

Can anyone help me with a simple programing to help me plot my stress-strain plot. I am really bad at programming, and I hope you could give me some pointers. Already tried watching tutorials and I still do not know how to proceed, Thank you in advance.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0added line to hole file but it does not read it.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0Creo shows Fatal Error while save any assembly as mirror assembly. Issue happening with 2 users. Please solve ASAP

Hey, I need a littel help with this:I have been given two functionsand I need to find the two intersections in the interval -1<x<4.How can I do this?Thanks alot!   

Hi, is there a form of executing a cross product of one vector and the various vectors of a matrix.?Something like this, in matrix form:cheers!Juan      

Consider I am to develop machine level inprocess drawings with neccessary setup information,the stuffs like tools, instructions, frequency, reaction plan all are same. So I can add and import as parameters but i have 2 questions. Q1. What is the fastest way to add the dimensions in to the table?Q2. How to add stage wise drawings? like that one without drill and next sheet2 will be with drill, sheet3 with threads and so on. Do I need to make different parts or can do with one finished part?  

This is a mirror copy of the entire assembly. There is no need to separately set the reference side for mirroring, just press Save a Mirror Assembly. What side do you mirror copy to?Also, is there any way to manually set the mirror reference plane???  

The shape below is being modeled using the Sheetmetal function. ( Based on modeling with creo 3.0 )The shape of the part where the gas is introduced in the middle protrudes in both directions based on the central axis. This figure was modeled by me, and was modeled using the Extrude and Bend functions.However, in this way, it is easy to model in one direction based on the center axis, but it is not possible to do both directions.If I dare to model like the picture above, I can do Sketch -> Extrude -> Bend in the opposite direction, but it is too cumbersome. Is there any easy way to do it??  

Utilizing the GTO function, I wanted to know what parts were changed or improved compared to the existing shape.   Personally, I think I entered the system requirements well, but I can't create the shape because there are insufficient parts.   The error message is Utilizing the GTO function, I wanted to know what parts were changed or improved compared to the existing shape. It's open, but I've set the Study Setting elaborately, and I've been waiting for it to be created for a long time. ( Fidelity : 10 / Max. iterations : 2000 )   How can I make a shape? what did i set wrong? If not possible, why? I wonder.   If you need the modeling I worked on, I would appreciate it if you write your e-mail address in Replies.   Thanks for reading.  

ASME Y14.3-1994 in section 4.3.1 states: "Sectioning Assembled Items. Where the cutting plane lies along the longitudinal axis of items such as shafts, bolts, nuts, rods, rivets, keys, pins, screws, ball or roller bearings, gear teeth, spokes, and the like, these parts are not sectioned except where internal construction must be shown."I have used another high end CAD system in the past, and they had a parameter that we could add to the parts that the system would read and if set to NO, it would not cross-section those items. We used this in our family tables of hardware items and it was very beneficial. Is there anything in Creo that would do this same thing?

Hello!Can someone convert my XMCD file to Prime 8, pleaseThank you! 

Hello, I am writing Jlink code to get the Mass, Density and Volume on a CAD part. I am able to fetch these values but I am not able to get the unit for Density and Volume. I am using following API;s properties = solid.GetMassProperty(null);System.out.println("Session model "+em.GetFileName());System.out.println("The solid mass is: " + properties.GetMass()+" "+unitsys.GetUnit(UnitType.UNIT_MASS).GetName());System.out.println("The solid volume is: " + properties.GetVolume()+" "+unitsys.GetUnit(UnitType.UNIT_MASS).GetName());System.out.println("The solid density is: " + properties.GetDensity()+" "+unitsys.GetUnit(UnitType.UNIT_MASS).GetName()); OutPUT: As you can see the unit for Volume and Density is lbm, which is wrong. And there is no UnitType.UNIT_VOLUME or UnitType.UNIT_DENSITY that I can pass as a parameter.I tried to find the JLink API that I can use to get the unit of measure for Volume and Density but I couldn't. I know Density = Mass/Volume, so does that

Hi all, I am trying to use the cabling module to create hoses. Is there a way to make sure a cable does not go through geometry? For instance, in the picture below, I have a hose that must go free from the corner but must go where the cable-cramp is. I have solved this by adding a point that the cable goes through, however this means i have to move the point in order to get a good bend using trial and error. Is there a way around this?    

Hello, I have recent job at modular design, and it has been a hell, After endless hours I have a decent workflow and a decent 3D model of some cabinets of a kitchen. The main target is obvious, once I'm done with the design I want to make a few clicks and then have the entire list of cabinet boards that was used in the whole kitchen, so I can send them to production. The main problem is obvious as well, I have to do many kitchens per day, with different dimmensions, but some cabinets are standards and I am planning to reuse these subassemblies. The thing is that the boards get mixed, the new ones from new designs and the old ones. My main idea was to change each name of each new part, but considering that a cabinet has 7 boards and a kitchen 7 cabinets, that's a hell of a job. Other idea that I had but I coulnd't make happen is to create a family table with the dimensions. I don't know how to do it, and I can't find it in Creo 8. Is there any other alterna

Hello. I am using Creo Parametric 8.0.0.0. So... the title is descriptive enough. But let me give you some extra detail. So I have metric system on my file. The measure tool uses imperial system. It will show the correct value, (for example if I set something to be 10cm it will show 3.937inch) but the file is not on inch. I went to:File>Prepare>Model PropertiesModel is indeed in metric system. Yesterday everything was fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.        

Can anyone please answer how to access the solid model /edit definition of this Quilt surface?   

Team, Mathcad Prime 9 states that a variable is undefined when it is. Please see the attached worksheet.
