How do I find the expiration date of CREO license on my computer? Best,Cruz

Is there a way to use a different parameter if your primary parameter is blank that your title block references? I want my REV cell using &ptc_wm_revision to use the parameter drawing_rev if ptc_wm_revision is blank.  example: if ptc_wm_revision is blank use drawing_rev, but if ptc_wm_revision isn't blank then use ptc_wm_revision. This would be used if a team is creating drawings outside of windchill due to location, but when we put them into windchill at a later date then the revision assigned from windchill will override the prototype revision.   

Hi   So for my masterthesis I currently am testing the possibilities and restrictions with a 4-axis milling machine (Roland MDX-50 with a rotational A-axis). I am now trying to mill a football (or soccerball, I'll just call it "Ball" from now on) as you can see in the image below. Normally we do this on a 5-axis machine, but the goal is to see if  the MDX-50  can realise this piece and how precise it will be. Image 1. Ball   I already made some volume roughs (with a 6mm End Mill) and profiling steps (with a 2mm Ball Mill) on the top- and the bottom side. So it will look like this:   So I currently have 2 Coordinate Systems (further abbreviated as "CS"), 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom half. I used each CS to define an Operation. I can select both operations and ask to perform the Remove Material Simulation (as visible in Image 2). The simulation will do as I ask, but between the 2 operations, the tool will "teleport" from one place to another, because the sec

Hello, I have not used CAD in a while and was trying to copy a plant tray I had at home to get back to ease myself back into the program; however, I have run into problems. Perhaps I am using the pattern feature incorrectly, but when creating a new pattern based on simple extrusions and a chamfer, the program runs quite slowly. As a result of this, when I try to create a shell pattern creo always crashes and is unable to complete the action. Does anyone have any advice for me please? I have attached the file. Thanks.    

When generating a step file of a part designed with generative design, the step file becomes very large. Is there a way of reducing the file size? 

Hi,I tried to calculate minimal value of the complex argument of a Transfer function through minimize function inside a resolution bloc. Mathcad indicates that there are no solution found, try to modified initial values or TOL or CTOL, but it does not help. I think that Mathcad does not find solution because the argument does not change, but manual calculation gives different values according constraints.Could you please help me to understand why the Mathcad do not understand the constraints? Thanks Christophe PS : Using Pime 4.0     

I have a requirement to Export my Harness Drawing created in Creo Parametric to a format which can be imported into Capital Harness System(CHS) either it can be .dsi, .xml or .nwf. Please let me know if we have a option for that  

I have a current node locked license for Mathcad PTC 8.  I hear version 9 is out.  Although, I have a link for the trial version of Mathcad PTC 9 - I would rather use my license.  But, I can't seem to find a way to download the non-trial version of Mathcad PTC 9.    Is there a single link for this?

You can see two quilt icons in the Design Tree. (one red, the other purple)I am curious about the difference between these two icons.  

If the first digit of the tolerance value is 0 while creating a geometrical tolerance, 0 is not expressed and appears as shown in the figure below.Why is this? 

Hello everyone!I reworked a worksheet presented by a member of the community I think in 2018 related to the solution of a system of algebraic differential equations with a periodic sawtooth excitation function. I find quite different results depending on how the excitation function is defined. I wonder who's wrong. I enclose the version presented by the member (.mcdx) and my own (dae + 13032023.xmcd).I await your opinion.  

I'm curious if anyone has come up with a solution that is similar to using Find() w/in a Solve Block OUTSIDE of a solve block? I ask because I'd like to have the Find() ability to iterate/solve but use it as a custom function that I can call for N instances.There is a lot of value in Solve Block Find() but I have a case where I have a lot of inputs in V for which I would like to Find() solutions. I don't see this working just using a Solve Block.  

I am looking for the most efficient/quickest way to find the row containing two values in different columns of M. The function I am envisioning would be an alteration of 'lookup': lookup2(z1, z2, A, B).I have tried a few different solutions but was hoping for quicker performance. Using the masking method provided my  @Werner_E  and the efficiency of vectorizing demonstrated by @PEAH , I came up with a decent solution but was only able to cut the processing cost by ~30% when compared to Werner's FilterMlt function he helped me with not too long ago (solid function @Werner_E !). I am planning to use this lookup2 function a couple zillions times in processing data so I was hoping to cut processing time by much more!I also compared the time to run the built-in lookup function as a baseline which averaged ~0.15s @ N=10^5. I figure, looking up two values shouldn't be much more than one, max 2x 0.15 = 0.3s, but I am not able to achieve that.MCP wor

Supposedly my IT department has installed the Roark's E-book but it doesn't show up in Mathcad. Why?

There are times, when in Annotation, the mini toolbar will appear, but pressing the buttons fails.  Normally, when hovering over a button, text will pop up giving a description of what the button does.  That does not even happen.  Does anybody else have this issue?   I wonder if I have something buried in my customization's that prevent it from working all of the time.   Thanks   Tom    

Hello everyone!Not everyone knows that....for copy-pasting of formulas, text, images, on machines with low RAM, and with worksheet size 50MB and above, it takes quite a long time just for copying. A simple method is this: Click on the MATHCAD 15 Window pull-down menu, and then click on "tile Vertical" the worksheet and the "untitled" one will be tiled. Then select the object in the originary worksheet and drag it to the other "untitled" worksheet.Then click on "Undo" in order to restore the moved object to its original position.  The operation is immediate as well as the opposite action that is to past the object copied into another position of the originary file.I haven't tried it yet with M. PRIME. Greetings!

Hello everyone. Can someone help me to transform these files from xmcd format to mcdx format (for mathcad 5 prime?

I need to transfer my license (PTC Mathcad Express) to another computer, as I have to return the one I am currently using. I know that there is a procedure to do this, which requires the Product Code and the HOST ID of the new computer. I was provided with a license for my 30 days trial, but I can't find a product code within the file that I received. Can somebody please help? Thanks

Hello.why (solve) operation give me another result for the same equation with a simplified way for (MAD).thanks 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0User is trying to access Sensitivity Analysis (Analysis -> Design Study -> Sensitivity Analysis) for part and the prompt "The option Behavioral_Modeler has not been acquired".I am wondering if this option tool is a toggle that I can turn on for the user or if this is an extension that would need to be purchased. If it is the initial, can you please guide me on how to turn it on for this user.PS. I have also tried following these articles for the user- https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/evergreen-assets/safelinks/1/atp-safelinks.html- https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r9.0/usascii/index.html#page/model_analysis/bemod/Example_Sensitivity_Analysis.html- https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r8.0/usascii/index.html#page/model_analysis/bemod/To_Set_Behavioral_Modeling_Configuration_Options.html- https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r8.0/usascii/index.html#page/model_analysis/bemod/About_Configuring_Behavio

Hi,I created a partial view with a colored zone. Picked my point and did my spline.Now I want the exact same partial view with a regular section black and white. Is there anyway I can copy the exact origin point and spline and apply it to my second partial view that I want to be the exact same?

This question was also asked about 3,5 years ago: Multiple-views-in-one-window   At that time, the anwser was no.   But is this possible nowadays?   I want to show multiple views in MBD, just like you can show multiple drawing views on a drawing. Why? I don't want our users to search for the correct MBD view to get the dimension they are looking for. (Did the enigeer put this dimension in the front view? Or the section view? Or the top view?)   If not, then MBD might not be very productive for us...

I am trying to display the results of a calculation using MathCAD PRIME 8's symbolics feature "explicit, ALL" The results are shown accurate to with 14 decimal places - which is way too precis for my purposes. I have been unable to fina a way to contol the precision of this display - Math Formatting appears to apply only to the final result. I attach two screenshots, one showing what I currently get from MathCAD and the other showing what I want. Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks in advance! Andrew

How to set a default developed length for all bends in a sheetmetal model to return to driven  in Creo Parametric 8.0 ?

I have 2 ode's that I solve using odesolve. However, I can integrate one of them analytically. When I do this, I get the error message "Too many initial conditions" even though I only have one for the remaining ode. Or can I not include the integrated function in the solve block?
