I m trying to calculate the reaction influence line for a simple indeterminate beam problem.I built up functions for fixed end moment and slope deflection equations. Now I m trying to calculate rotations at the end supports of the beam, I m getting error because the slope deflections equations are conditional expressions. I m expecting set of end moments when the load is placed on the particular element. How can I achieve this ?    

I want to have the plot values on scale directly and not modify the scale within plot is it possible in 15?

Multi-sheet capabilities are available in all other 2D Drafting Tools like AutoCAD, Creo Elements Direct Drafting should also get this capability at the earliest. It is a very basic requirement for any 2D Drafting Tool. Moreover it is already there in Creo Element Direct Modeling Tool, So it just has to be extended to Creo Elements Direct Drafting Tool.

Hello,   starting Creo Parametric, i am supposed to register the "quality agent" and I'm asked wether to do it or not. If I pull "yes", an error message will blow up, telling me I should contact the technical support with the error "0x00000009", afterwards the program shuts down. If I pull "no", the program will directly shut down. Unfortunately I can't contact the technical support because my "web account does not hold the following required privileges to access this application: Customer Service Access", so I try it this way. Could anyone help me?   Thank you very much in advance!

My 3D plots have started appearing like this:When I drag the plot area, the problem disappears:But as soon as I let it go, the weird pattern reappears. I thought it might be a problem with the mesh frequency pairing with the pixel spacing on my display, but resizing does nothing, and, in fact, the problem appears as soon as I open a new 3D plot area.  Anyone encountered this?  More pertinent question: does anyone have a solution?Working in Prime 8.0.0.0 Thanks for any hints.Richard   

Hi I want to extract a given value from a table based upon two variables. For exampel, by selecting the variables "A" and "b" I want the extracted value (output) to be "5". Is this possible to do? Thanks in advance.   

Dear All,  for my study project, i am working with dowel pins in an assembly. I want to run Modal and static analysis of the assembly and i want to idealize these dowel pins as shown in the image.  Could anyone please give a feedback about how these dowel pins should be idealized.   

Computer was replaced need to download the installation files for Mathcad 15 to reinstall on new computer.

Hi, I am trying to create an exploded view of an assembly with multiple parts. The whole assembly was created in SOLIDWORKS 2023 and I am using STEP file of this assembly to create an exploded view in CREO 7.0. But it seems like I can't use the feature "Move with Children" on STEP file to move two overmolded components together. Any idea ?   Best    

Team  I have a flat view(sheetmetal part) in the drawing.  i would like to find it through code for the reference  to  ordinate dimensioning to the view,     

Hi All, I am currently trying to run a Modal Analysis on a Frame. I have got DBID error (it did mesh) with a specific number. I found a thread on PTC Community as to how to find the Element which is causing the error by running the analysis on ASCII. But when I try to run it on ASCII, the software immediately crashes.  Is there any way how to solve the crash issue or to find which element has caused the analysis error? Thank you so much for your time and help. Kind regards 

Has anyone figured out the format to use the TAG tool when doing an internal link. The instructions seem to say the TAG is #xxx. But when I link to it a text box I don't get it to transfer to the TAG. Yes i am using [ctrl-click] .In Mathcad 15 it was a useful tool to move around a multi-page worksheet.  

Hello all , I am trying to connect into Creo using a python code to extract the parameters into BOMs..First off has anyone successful done this?? I believe it is possible , However I maybe missing a file or module or not using the correct connection command. Here is  the current setup.-Creo 6.0.5.1-Python Latest version-All modules update to date.-I have all the toolkit API installed.-pro_comm_msg in environment variables- I have preferred to used win32com.client module to make connection but it has failed to make the connection.- I have also tried Creoson third party software to  make the connection. I was able to connect  to the server and Creo but failed to extract the parameters .it just stated no attributes to get...As there no offical help on this software it is hard to get help on this. So If anyone can provide code of how they establish a connection and was able to send commands/extracted data would be helpful. Thanks.

Hello, I have recently installed Prime 9.0 on my professional DELL laptop running Win 10 but when I launch the program, nothing happens, no pop-up screen nothing: the mouse cursor does its usual circles for a few seconds and then vanishes. I had to run the installation under a dedicated admin account but then back to my account, I can't start Prime even I run it again with admin priviledges. It actually happened recently with an install I did with 7.0 and I could no longer launch it in the end while I could use it for a year or so. It is what motivated the migration to 9.0 but the problem remains. I've checked for a log file in the PTC folder but could not see one. Also checked the Symantec log files, nothing reported.  If you could point me to some solutions I could explore, I would appreciate. Thank you. Christophe--

Hi all, I think I already know the answer to this question before I even ask it, but here goes anyway. Is it possible in Creo to create a helical curve which follows a profile, in a single feature? A colleague of mine who works with Catia is able to do this. I know I can achieve the same geometry using a helical sweep & intersect with my revolved profile but this is 3 or 4 features versus 1 (2 including the profile curve) in Catia, plus, its much easier to set up. Anyone who also knows Catia probably knows the feature I speak of, its the Helical Curve Definition with 'Profile' selected for the radius variation. Hopefully this makes sense.   Regards John 

Hello, I'd like to analyse a geared wheel stoped by a ratchet using creo mecanism.(view in My Videos)Which contact should be used to simulate the ratchet on geared wheel ?Please see my video attachedthe video uses a cam follower to illustrate the case but I would like the ratchet to lock the gear wheel clockwise and the gear wheel to be able to rotate counter-clockwise. is it possible to remove the ratchet part and simply prevent the gear wheel from rotating in one direction? I'am using Creo 7.0.5.0 RegardsArnaud

My company, Aerolab LLC, purchased a floating network license for Mathcad. PTC support installed Mathcad Prime 9 remotely for us. He gave us no information as to where the license is located or how to access it. I am trying to Install and activate another copy of Mathcad to use this floating network license. Please help.

I have purchased the student account. However, I have not received my product code.When do i receive this? Should this not be automatic for a digital product?

Hello,In the solution to my recently asked question "programming a recursion" it was noted that MC has problems with the accuracy of long-number arithmetic. As a test in derive I have successfully solved the following task: To determine a power of two, i.e. 2^n for natural n, which begins with the decadic digit sequence 2023. I am interested in an MC-compatible search algorithm.If you are interested, I would be happy to provide my derive solution as an attached text file. Which text format is desired here in this forum? Kind regards, Alfred Flasshaar

Hello Experts, What does Argument outside of solution interval error means and how to overcome this one? Also within Odesolve when there is no variable used for range variable still the plot can be plotted using the equation function. How to find out what does k subsides in this worksheet 

Just had a crash on creo 8 and trying to run the trail file for the first time, I found a youtube video to follow but when I click run it just doesn't do anything? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've renamed the file, can select it from the open menu, but then I click open and nothing happens.      

I'm trying to buy Mathcad for use in the classes I teach.  PTC seems to have handed off their online sales to a company called Digital River, but the web site also directs me to a sales rep who works for a company called EAC Product Development Solutions.  She offered to sell me a 1 year license for $295 when the online price is $56.   I don't understand what's going on.  Is this the same version?   I just got off the phone with the rep at EAC (who was professional and helpful, BTW) and she couldn't explain what PTC was doing, but is trying to get me an answer.  She did say that she gets lots of complaints about how hard it is to deal with PTC.  Ugh.   Can anyone in the community enlighten me?  It seems like PTC has decided to outsource their sales, but has sent it to two different companies who don't talk to each other and have different pricing.  Can this be right?  I have to be missing something.   Mark      

Hello,   I get the following error message when I try to set up a simulation in my student version of Creo 8.0.4.0. Up to the analysis I can define everything normally. But when running the simulation, the error message comes up.   Can someone help me with this problem?   Translated by the Community Moderation using Google Translate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallo,   bei mir kommt folgenden Fehlermeldung wenn ich Versuche in meiner Studentenveriosn von Creo 8.0.4.0 eine Simulation aufzusetzen.  Bis zur Analyse kann ich alles normal definieren.  Aber bei der Ausführung der Simulation kommt die Fehlermeldung.   Kann mir jemand bei diesem Problem weiterhelfen?        

We have an older perpetual version of Mathcad that we need to move from an old computer to a new one.  I cannot find anywhere in my account profile to change the MAC address so that the new computer will be recognized.  Does anyone know how to do that?
