Hello! I was wondering about Creo’s capability to measure the Second Area Moment of Inertia (I). I am trying to calculate the second area moment for a common vascular needle, which has a cylindrical shaft and a conical tip. I was mostly wondering if Creo is able to find the second area moment over the varying geometry of the conical tip, or if it is only able to find one cross section at a time. I have attached a picture of what the needle end looks like below. I believe this process would require me to integrate by hand, as well as utilize the parallel axis theorem to connect the conical end of the needle to the cylindrical shaft. I thought Creo may have some functionality to do this within the program. Please let me know if I can clarify my problem in any way. It seems like Creo has lots of capabilities to find the mass properties of different parts, but since I need the area moment of inertia the mass properties are not required and instead geometry is my biggest concern. &nbsp

Dear Community,I have an assembly where some parts are moving and some others are fixed; I would like to calculate the whole mass of the moving parts only, is it possible? I would need, when launching the Mass Properties, to deselect somebodies and calculate the mass of the remaining ones.Best regards Stefano

Using Creo 7.0.5.0 I'm not sure how to explain this problem, but I'll give it a shot (I can't share the files, I'm afraid). I have a main assembly of a machine. This assembly contains several sub-assemblies. Two of these are the same assembly, but does have some interchangeable parts through a family table making them slightly different. The issue is that I can't change the parts on one of these without changing on the other one. In the main assembly I want to be able to show both configurations at the same time. See it as a car where you have one subassembly for the wheels with the same rims, valves and caps for all, but you want to replace the tires only on the rear axle. Is this possible or do I need a separate assembly for the wheels with different set of tires? Can I create a family table in the top assembly that somehow controls each of the subs? 

I have a hexagonal lattice feature which intersects a flat surface at 90` I can add the vertical rounds to the lattice itself via the feature, but is there a quicker way to add rounds to the edge that intersects the lattice and flat surface? rather than selecting each of the bottom edge of each of the hexagons? There is approx 150 Cells in the lattice and its quite tiresome to add them all in. Other CAD platforms have intersection selection control, but i cant seem to find anything in creo, even using closed/partial loop or selecting edges by filter? Thanks  

Hi. I have a question from a user who is experiencing slow performance when running Feasibility and Multi-Objective Design Studies. He says he can see that Creo is using very little RAM. There's a lot of info about managing RAM for Simulate, but I'm guessing none of those options affect running BMX design studies? Or will the performance of these be affected by, say, changing the solram settings? I'm guessing not.   Does anyone know of any other settings that may limit RAM usage for Creo? Or perhaps RAM isn't the limiting factor, but rather the processor?

I'm trying to use the free 30 day trial. MathCad appears to open and work, however the XMCD file converter does not work. I load a file and click convert, but it says "no license" under MCDX status and nothing happens. I received an email with a license file (.dat file type). I followed the instructions to install this license but again nothing appears to happen.

I have a solver block with an equation and a functionFurther down the worksheet I define two ranges of values, x and Vb. Both ranges have values in the range 0-20.  g(x) returns values but g(Vb) shows as I am attaching the worksheet and an Excel workbook which contains the expected results.I would also like to use WRITEEXCEL to output the values of x and g(x) but I can't get that to work either. 

I have 16-bit TIFF images I need to analyze.  But, it seems that Mathcad Prime 8 (and 7 before) only reads them as 8-bit.  Mathcad 15 read them correctly to their full bit depth, but Prime does not.  Does anyone know how to read 16-bit images to their full depth?  (I also have 12-bit JPGs with the same problem, Prime reading them only as 8-bit.) Thank you, KK

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM110Creo appearance palette for several segment colors are have to configurate, we tried to set the .dmt file but the location was not fetchable, If any solution for creating the .dmt file and set in library it will be useful for different product as separated segment such like (Product 1 it contains several colors, Product 2 - it contains serval required colors for the specific product etc...)

I wasn't sure where to post this but maybe this is a good enough place. Recently when I start up Creo (Croe 4.0, M120), I get an annoying popup from the browser that is built in, as shown here. Is there anything I can do about this? Do I notify someone that their script is failing? I don't know if it's just me. I don't see this when I browse over to the community site with my normal browser (Firefox). Maybe I could stop Creo from bringing up this browser? I never understood the reason for it being there anyway.

Hi,I'm using Mathcad for 3 years now in my school. I have installed it on my PC too, but since yesterday Mathcad doesn't start anymore. I only see the Mathcadlogo and then it disappears. I also have a licensekey activated. Maybe you can help me solve this, because i need this programm for exams and some other things.Best,David

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.6.0Design Exploration creates .tmu files when you save. Is there a way to convert that file into a .prt file. This would save time once a design is refined.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 7.0 (connected) Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.2.0im new at this so maby this is not the correct place to ask, but is sure looks the bestwhen making a restricted parameter with a text document i use µ in one of the options, but in creo when selecting the option it shows "µ" instead of "µ".i tried some other sybols and it does the same thing with the Âannyone know whats going on?

Helping an old man with fading memory would be much appreciated.In the attached Mathcad 15 file, I have somehow enlarged the label fonts.  I cannot recall how I did this.  Can anyone find the setting I used to change the 2D graph fonts? Thanks for any help.Reg

How do I continue an equation on the next two or three lines if necessary?

 so it says my units are incompatable but they are unitless 

Hey all, first post here. I am trying to use the swept blend feature to remove material as shown below. I am using a start sketch and an end sketch to drive the geometry of the swept blend and I am using a curve that I created by points (many!) on the outside surface of the original geometry. The issue that I am having is the swept blend is not working very well and leaving a lot of excess material. Also, it is not following my curve very well. I tried using two trajectories but I do not think that is allowed. I have been struggling with this for may days now so any help is appreciated. The end goal is to remove material from the center section and have it tapered on the edges at like a 45* angle, which you can see from sketch.

I can't figure out why the first equation in the picture does not work, Mathcad says "These units are not compatible." The units of M.w.mid are kip*ft, and 8 is dimensionless. There are no matrices in this spreadsheet, but for some reason the dot/multiplication symbol is acting weird, or like a dot product. I don't really want to use either of the middle equations, because they don't match AASHTO, but if I have to I will. For reference, the correct answer is 103.0kip. Mathcad 15 also returns 103.0kip without a dimension error. 

Hi Team,I am trying to resume some suppress features in part file.Resume option is not available..Any suggestion

Without using "ProMarcoExecute" and "RunMarco" , how to use the TOOLKIT or Object TOOLKIT to scale model ? I have been looking for the "Scale Model" function in the API Wizard, but unfortunately, I did not find it. Why don't I want Marco's way to execute "Scale Model", because the TOOLKIT or Object TOOLKIT program will lose control of CREO after executing marco. Is there a way for the program to keep control of CREO? 

HelloI have a table with many indications about a threading including the helix angle. my part and the drawing are in mm and degrees°, but for a supplier we need the have the angle in degree minute second in the table. I looked at the information page with all the &parameter and didn't find how to change the unit just for this value (not the whole file).I think it may be &parameter[something here] just as the number of decimals.Do you know how to do it please ?What I want : What I have :

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.0.0Hello, we have produced a Creo C++ otk plugin - all works fine. But we have a problem with how we deploy. We use TeamCity https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/ to run our build pipeline (so we must build all the code and then use the resultant dll for packaging up. We know that we have to use protk_unlock.bat to unlock the dll. The problem is that we have multiple servers to do the Team city builds and teh same one is not used each time. We are assuming that Creo has to be installed on those machines and also the licenses can only be set up on manual install. Is is possible to do unlocking in a less heavyweight way (but still access the license server that allows protk_unlock.exe to run)? I hope this makes some kind of sense? Can give more details if needed. Any suggestions welcome

Hi, when I display a shaded view into my 2D drawing (i.e. to show painted areas) is it possible to activate in this view different appearance settings which I have defined in View Manger?
