CAD

I am using CREO 8 to assemble a large pallet-racking structure for a big storage system, with significant height, length, and width. I would prefer not to use shrinkwraps or IGES/STEP files, because I want my model to update with any modifications. Additionally, I need to be able to visualize the holes. Could you suggest ways to make the assembly lighter?

I am learning about various analysis tools in Creo 10.0.4.0, and can't seem to find a specific explanation of how the 'Section Thickness' tool works. I (think) the related Thickness tool works by ray-tracing a perpendicular line through every surface, and expected the Section Thickness tool must work similarly, except I'm struggling to interpret the highlighted regions it produces in order to assert where those lines are.  In the screenshot below, I have created a model with a revolved section around the bottom of a sketch that looks like a 4-step staircase, 1 inch long with 0.25 inch steps. I have set the maximum and minimum thicknesses to 1.5 and 0.6, so from the geometry, I expect the last step should have some indication that, measured from top to bottom, it is 2 inches long. However, we only get these minimum sections highlighted, which obviously correspond to areas that would be under minimum, but I still struggle to understand how those lines are traced out. 

Why objects which is regenerated in creo changes it's state from to after regeneration. Object is read only why has it been chagned during regeneration?

When I tend to open up the worksheet in Mathcad Prime 8 does it auto recalculates the worksheet on its own or do I have to manually calculate the worksheet ?If yes In which scenario does it recalculates the worksheet?  Best,Sam

I purchased Mathcad Prime 9/14 and still not received the Fulfillment letter.Cleverbridge reference number is 514884616not sure what to do now. 

Is there a way to modify the end of this wire so that it's in line with the other one (red). and follows those? dots? Also has anyone experienced manually routing a wire and once a new segment has been made it lays itself directly on top of something that has already been routed? Flattening seems to be really tricking and annoying a lot of the times the wires won't move in the plane that I want when trying to put them right beside each other. No matter what I mess with nothing really seems to change how the segment reacts. There are also times that I use the move segment tool and if i move it to far from the original position the segment disappears and the segment in the model tree goes red and I can't undo it I have to flattened that segment again. Hoping someone can shed some light on this as its really frustrating to deal with.

First, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for GRANITE questions. If not, please point me to the appropriate community. I'm creating a KBody instance and for some reason KBody::IsReversed() is returning true. When I ask the triangulator to create tristrips for me, they are coming back with the normals pointing inwards. Is it up to me to reverse the tristrips and normals? Cory

Helloin the attached sheet there is a problem of mechanics of a damped systemUnfortunately I couldn't use odesolve, so I tried RKfixed, but again I got an error message from Mathcad. So I did a manual RK4😅Could someone help me use the Prime RKfixed? it would be more elegant than what I did😂and also to stop the loop when "v" (speed)  becomes negative,after that continuing the iterations no longer makes physical sense, at least when x<0. Since at that point the load has passed through the damper   also, all attempts I made with the units failed Differential equations are not easy for me😂

We have a number of users encountering an issue on startup. Whenever we turn on a PC and open an instance of Creo 11.0.4.0, we get an error with the heading "License Warning" and the message "License request failed for feature".  (see attached image) Our current workaround is going to Windows Services and restarting "lmadmin_ptc". This has to be done every time after a computer is restarted or shut down. I've tried reconfiguring the licenses and reinstalling the license server, but haven't found a fix for this. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to not have this extra step every time we run Creo after a shutdown.

Trying to Solve for Va as a variable.  Used "Solve, Va" and tried using the find (Va) function but it wont give me anything. Does anyone know any Tricks to this? 

Thanks MathCad!  It happened once again.  Program crashes AFTER I saved the file and open up the file and it is completely blank.  I have complained about this for YEARS and nothing has been done and I know it happens to others.  I am looking for a new software option because I am TIRED of losing work.

As an electrical engineer who performs worst case analysis of electrical circuits, I'd like to automate this task.  I'd like to take a parts list in Excel, and have Mathcad create the definitions for each part.  For example, my parts list has R1, 100 ohms.  I want Mathcad Prime to make the equation R1:=100Ω. Is there a way to do this?

we are using Creo 9best way convert these segmented surfaces to 1 continuous surface ?thanksRich  

If I use the Crossovers in Creo schematics, How do I manage the crossovers like add & delete what is required? Currently the same added via automatic selection, but we need an option to keep few & remove few. Kindly help. ThanksNaresh 

Hi, I would like to understand if we can add the specific standard electrical libraries from an external sources? If so what is the procedure? Kindy help.ThanksNaresh

I want to add some kind of table that can determine bend radius according to sheet thickness i am switching from solid edge

Looking for a way to put heat shrink on a harness and have it show up in the BOM. Ideally, I have a "part" for the heat shrink and I add to where ever its needed on the harness. Then it totals how much I used and throughs it into the BOM. Is this possible in the same way the spools are done? Or are there other ways to do this?

Hi team I have a doubt regarding how to calculate the smallest distance between edges using the toolkit. This is specifically for a sheet metal part.Does anyone know how to accurately calculate the edge-to-edge distances or if there’s any workaround available for this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.I've attached the image for your reference.

Hi,  Is there anyway to include level in the index for a multi-layer BOM. For example, I like to have index "1" for first level of assembly and "1.1" as the 2nd level, "1.1.1" for 3rd level and so on and so forth? This is the format of the ERP system required to import the data into it.  I am using Creo 9. In the table repeat region can only have "rpt.idex" or "rpt.level".. But "rpt.level" on show 1,2.3.. for the level.  Thanks 

We have many models that were created with an older start part, meaning that some layer rules did not get applied before the model was released. One of these critical rules is to put the auto-generated hole note on a layer and then hide it.Now we are working in an assembly with these parts in it.  These auto-generated hole notes are showing up at the assembly level.  Is there a way to hide them without revising the already released part?  Is there a layer rule that can be used to collect an annotation from a lower level part and then hide it?

I am looking for a straightforward way to add my mathcad sheet to word. The solutions I found online haven't been working well or are not very practical considering I have over 200 pages on mathcadmaybe someone knows an alternative that works for my casewhat I have tried so far is:1. Copy Paste with Keep Source Formatting:Does not respect page margins, even if I copy and paste page by page with both Mathcad and word with the same page size and margins: 2 Copy Paste with Merge Formatting:this happens when there is math inside a textbox, which happens often: it is like they are all superscripted, it looks odd 3 Print to PDF and add to word: doesn't work because word only adds the first page of the PDF 4 Snip every single page and add one by one: works but it would take too long. Also there might be a chance I will have to update my mathcad calculations and redo this process, making it very time consumingsame for: creating a PDF of every single page separately and add

Hello everyone,How can I remove the "Expand All" command from the navigation trees?It’s an extremely annoying icon.Thank you in advance for your help.Pavel
