Hello everyone, I work with Creo Parametric 8, and I am facing some issues with .pvz files. When I open these files in Creo View Express 9, assemblies are ok, but when I import them in Parametric, some of the parts of the assemblies are not the right ones, replaced but others or just incoherent. I don't understand why. I tried a lot of ways to open these files, as created an .asm file and then add the .pvz, and I tried to change the options when importing. To give a example (as I can't show images for confidentiality reasons), on Creo View a sub-assembly composed of a belt and a tank shows when imported into Parametric a part of the belt replaced by the tank. This is why my supposition was that some parts are replaced but other parts. I searched for conflicts in the names but didn't find links. An other question I had was if there was conflicts with temporary files or assemblies I imported earlier. I hope I was clear enough to expose my problem. I would appreciate i

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0Hello,I have an assembly which is configured by a set of parameters (dimensions and loads) to obtain a set of configurations. For all of these configurations I want to run one (or multiple) simulation analyses. Would it be possible to automate this?As I read online, it is possible to run a batch of studies, however I did not yet find a way to do so with changing the input parameters of the model.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a worksheet created with Mathcad 15 and was recently converted to Prime 8.0. After the conversion, I got this error message saying "units are not compatible" in an ODE solver as shown below:The initial and final conditions were defined asThis problem did not occur in Mathcad 15 and before, and I have been struggling for days to solve this.Does anyone have any suggestion? Thank you!  

I'm looking for a good source for hand tool models.   I'd like like to build a library to use for tool accessibility review and possibly to support PTC Manikin analysis.    This will be used commercially, so I have to be careful about licensing.  (GrabCAD is personal use by default)    These would be used in Creo Parametric and Creo View.  Thanks for the suggestions and leads.   Nick B  

getting started on creo schematics after having used pro/diagram,. I"m finding there are not any connector symbols or an easy way to create them. this is unreal for such an expensive product. can anyone direct me to how to easily create multi port connector symbols. it's sad that something this basic is missing. thanks much,  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110I have grouped features in a part. When the group is selected in the Model Tree, there is no "Ungroup" option from the right click menu.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.2.0Running the VB API Examples .net project I am able to connect to an existing Creo parametric session. From there I can't get any of the provided example functions to work. One thing to note when the software was installed it mentioned java was not found. Is that required to get the VB API to work? I have gone through the VB API and set the environment paths, but it is unclear what folder the PRO_DIRECTORY should be set to.What is needed to get the VB API Examples to function?Here are the errors that I facedptcExceptions::xToolKitNotFound

Hello, I use Creo 8.0.2.0   I have some symbols to update on drawings.. On some drawings the symbol name is "symbol.sym". In that case I can select a symbol directory (Annotations\Define symbols\Symbol Dir) and update the symbol. On some drawings the symbol name include the path. In that case Creo search in the path included in the name and doesn't consider the directory defined from Symbol Dir. (even if the path no more exist).   Is it possible to remove or break the link to the old path associated to the symbol name ?   Thanks  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.7.0The Embedded browser does not follow the settings of the registry.The settings done are working well in Chrome (outside of Creo), but not inside creo.Modifications are done in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\AutoOpenAllowedForURLs" in order to open files without asking where to store them.

Creo simulate tab for the live version in Creo 7 is grayed out and doesn't allow the user to use it.  

Hi Folks, Where I can find Creo Object toolkit configuration and Demo video in PTC support portals? please help me out. I have installed Visual studio as per GSG guide found from common files\otkcpp folder but its not working as expected. Thanks,Santhosh       

 Hi all, is there a way of editing the dimension line for an ordinate dimension?I don't want the full length arrow like in the attachment - just a short arrow pointing to the extension line. thanks

The following tables are created in Creo and exported to csv. It is similar to what we want to implement.Therefore, the following points should be considered.1. Can I create and export the table as shown?2. Can I export extensions to xls?3. Can I insert a table into a specific area of an existing Excel file (xls or csv)? I would like to know if it is possible with a map key or a toolkit. please teach me how to get that   thanks regards

Hello,I would like to know if you could help me please with some idea how could I solve the following 3rd degree equation:- equation is of type ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0- each of the coefficients has a max and min value:a ->(amin, amax)b -> (bmin, bmax)c-> (cmin, cmax)d-> (dmin, dmax)It results a high number of 3rd equations to be solved from all the possible combinations of the min and max values of the coefficients.Solving each combination in part takes lot of time, so I would like to know if there is any possible way to get the solutions from all the equations obtained from all the possible combinations of coefficients?Thank you,Marius       

Mathcad Prime 8.0.0.0.0.0.0 So I am trying to store mixed data in a matrix.  It is the only way to pass optional parameters to a user defined function.  One of the parameters I am trying to pass is an integer (in my case representing the number of passes of welds in a welded structure).  But when I supply a zero, my program reads the number as 0•m (or whatever units I set the document to. See the attached Mathcad Prime sheet.  Here is a screenshot if you can't duplicate my errorOne possible workaround is to resolve the value this way:  a / SIUnitsOf(a) That should strip any value that is in meters of it's unit, but will not work for other units like when Unit System = USCSAny other suggestions?

Why mathcad does not expand the term fully in symbolic? AM I doing something wrong? P1 does not expand in subsequent equation how to make that happen?

Can someone tell me what Relation should i use to create a Parameter that captures number of Holes in a Part. If I use Hole command in a Part to make Holes [Not Extruded Cuts] and did patterns for few of them, I want Creo to capture Number of Holes including pattern members into a Parameter called NUMBER_OF_HOLES @MartinHanak @tbraxton @KenFarley @TomU   

Few days I have problem with simulation and it gives below error. This error is the same for all models and for all simulations (thermal, pressure, etc.). Can anyone please help me I have to submit my project soon. "Integrated mode error checking found error(s) in the modelafter creating the Creo Simulate database." 

Hi All,Can I see that how many weld feature I used? Can I see this as a parameter on Creo? Thanks for replies.    

Hi everyone!I have created a model in Creo Parametric 4 for a AR purposes. I wanted to create animations in Creo Illustrate 8.1 but when I select "Transform" I cannot select the original Csys from Creo Parametric, only this one created by Illustrate itself. Can someone explain how can I change that? Is there an option to select when importing model to Illustrate?    

I 'm busy with calculate the intersections of two lines as done here.  I think the variable y2 is currently the problem because it is a single value. In python(with numpy) i'm able to create a ones(length) array. How do i create a array (arbritrary length) where all values are the same?  

I have multiple closed sketches on a body. There are thousands of these sketches. I would like to create separate  parts or features from these closed loops . What would be the fastest way besides Creo Toolkit?

Hello Gentleman, I am running Creo 8.0 structural simulation. It takes a lots of time to run the simulation, while system is barely working CPU roughly 4% and GPU around 0. When I`m moving the 3d part the gpu goes up, so the settings are correct in the nvidia panel. GPU:RTX A2000 LaptopCPU:11gen i7-11850 @2,5GhzRAM:32GB Can you please help how to improve the system usage of creo? Kind regards,Balint.    

Hi Martin, I'm using Multibody design for smaller welded  designs. I call it "little assembly".It works very good in 3D modeling.Now my problem:When I create in drawing a section view, I only can see the cutted geomtry.All bodies behind are not shown.How can I resolve it?CREO 7.0.5.0   

Hello all,        I'm trying to emboss text on a cylinder in Creo Elements Express.  I do the following:   1) Create cylinder 2) Create workplane parallel to cylinder face 3) "Modeling->Modify 2D->Text to Profile" the text onto the workplane 4) "3D Geometry->3D Curve->Wrap on Surf" the text onto the cylinder        ...At this point I can use "Modeling->Modify 3D->Pull" to emboss the text, but it embosses linearly, as opposed to embossing out relative to the surface of the cylinder.  I suspect I should be using "Modeling->Modify 3D->Offset", but I can't figure out which set of options (if any) can accomplish this.         Any ideas?         -BW
