Hello all,i am having a hard time trying to model a part based off the measurement report that we have gotten and i am wondering what i am doing wrong or how to more accurately model the part.  when i try to use a sweep function, i find that one or more corners (depending on if it has 3 or 4 faces) tend to be slightly off. is there a different function i can use to force creo to make a body that fits within the coordinate boundaries? the surfaces should be flat .    CREO Parametric 6.0.6.0 

Hello, I am looking to ensure a connector is related correctly to another subassembly. I would like to relate this connector to a skeleton model, but am having trouble doing so. This connector was originally brought in through ECAD/MCAD collaborator with an IDX export from my ECAD tool. If I delete all the instances from the ECAD import and manually place these related to the skeleton model I am unable to push their locations back to ECAD. I am using version 10.0.4.0. Thanks in advance for your help,Tanner

Hi everyone. I purchased a 1-year student license for Mathcad Prime Version 11. I am having some issues launching the software and need to use my Product Code. However, I do not know where to find it. If someone could tell me where I can find the Product code for the edition of Mathcad that I have purchased, that would be much appreciated. When I purchased the license for Mathcad Prime 11, I received 3 confirmation emails, one of them having a Product Key, which began with MT. However, I was made aware that this is not, in fact, the actual Product Code. Please tell me where it is located. Thank you for your help.

I purchased the Mathcad Prime 11 Student version back in May, but i had issue with my Laptop Wi-Fi Network card, and now i am using a docking station with wired network. But my Mathcad is not working anymore, so i need to know how to re-generate a license with the correct host ID. I am being asked to find the product code but i am having hard time finding it... i need help please urgent ! any help is appreciated.

What is the funtion for the section option, "Single Part Surface"? How do I reverse the command?

Hello, I need to start out by saying Im new to Options modeler, trying to explore the possibilities. In my scenario, I am creating a configurable product of a Hydraulic cylinder. In this scenario I have some options like Bore size, port type, temperature range etc. Is it possible to suppress or un suppress certain features of one of the parts, for eg. the cylinder barrel can have different type of port feature based on the option selected. Additionally for option like temperature, I need to be able to switch the material of certain parts in the cylinder. Im exploring this since the permutations and combinations keep growing and my understanding is that you can only add or remove a part/sub-assembly in the final BOM. The current approach would involve having a CAD part for every Port configuration and different parts for every material which again is not promoting reuse.

i was given the free 30 days trial but i could not login successfully because i don't have a product code. Please can you email the product code to me?

Hello, right now I have Creo with MDO and advance simulation. I have seen other threads using MDO for Drop test simulation. I was wondering if say I simulated the object dropping is there a way with my simulation to see the stresses/deformation present in the object after dropping.   Thank you

Please could someone assist me with the following error: Error states the value must be a function.  Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Variables b, n, As, and d are defined previously. 

Hi,I’m looking for some help with coding a script that can extract information (such as section type and associated loads) from an external source, like Excel, and import it into a developed Mathcad sheet. The goal is to check section capacity in accordance with the relevant codes and standards.I appreciate this request may be a bit broad, and I am aware some example codes exist here: Code Examples. However, as I’m new to this, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance in streamlining the script.Kind regards,Iain Note, I am using Mathcad Prime 10.0.0.0  Edit:  We are looking to create Mathcad files based on an original worksheet, using externally sourced data from Excel.

Hello, I have MDO and advance simulation. I wanted to know if there is a way to do a drop-test simulation in Creo? I will be neeeding this to test a product that a customer is asking us to design. Any resource would be much appreciated. Thank you

We have dozens of older parts/drawings that were made before we found our footing with Creo... Now, whenever we open an older part/drawing and try to bring it up to snuff (adding shaft tolerances, using the block tolerance for what doesn't need to be explicit, etc.) someone has to make a note of all the existing tolerances because changing from ANSI to ISO changes all the explicitly set tolerances to the "standard".   I understand this might be useful to some people, some of the time - but am I really to understand that this "best of the best" software package isn't smart enough - or can't be configured - to leave what is explicitly set, well enough alone?

I noticed an issue with MCP11 vs 10 regarding Advanced Controls List Boxes where the selection is not preserved when a file is saved/closed/reopened. Anyone else seeing this issue?Without selection preservation, List Boxes are basically useless. I haven't yet checked if the other types (checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.) maintain selection.list box code (this worked in MCP10 w/o issue):// TODO: Add your initialization code here ListBox.ResetContent(); var list1 = Inputs[0].Value; var list2 = Inputs[1].Value; // Add Strings here as needed for (var i = 0; i < list2.length; i++) { ListBox.AddString(list2[i]); } function ListBoxEvent_Start(Inputs, Outputs) { // TODO: Add your code here }; function ListBoxEvent_Exec(Inputs, Outputs) { Outputs[0].Value = list1[ListBox.CurSel()]; }; function ListBoxEvent_Stop(Inputs, Outputs) { // TODO: Add your code here }; function ListBox_SelChanged(Inputs, Outputs) { // TODO: Add your code here }; function ListBox_DblClick(Input

I have this general relativity solution to Godel's metric solved in MathCAD 15 that runs just fine.  I wrote it in 2016 so details are a little fuzzy as to how I did it :).  I tried to convert it to Prime 11 and got several errors.  Are the errors easy to fix, or does it require a complete rewrite of the programs within?

I'm starting to use tables a lot as a convenient way to enter groups of related data. In a spreadsheet-like way I would enter rows (or columns) of data that I want to annotate somehow. I've tried using strings (double quote) as elements and MCP seems to be unhappy with that. thoughts? suggestions? TIA! (Prime v11)

Hi, I have a lot of "imported feature" files that seem to slow the parent assembly when opening, rotating and zooming the view.I believe this is related to the fact that CREO 9.0 tries to access the local path T:\DEFINITIVI\... linked to the imported 3D model: is there a way to unlink the 3D model from the original file path?   Thank you

I'm trying to exclude parts from the BOM. I was instructed to open Repeat Regions, then select Filters, then click on the BOM and 2 options would appear, Remove: By Rule or Buy Item. But it will not even let me click on the BOM. Not sure why its not functioning properly.

Hello Everyone.From : To :Solve symbolically ? ( MC 15 )Thanks in advance.Regards.

I'm using MathCAD 15.I'm trying to solve this six-equations-six-variables system of equations. But no matter which initial guesses I use, I have not been able to solve it. Also, I'm using unitless values.The error that is displayed is in the screenshot. Clicking "Trace Error" only leads it to saying that the problem is in α1 being undefined (which does not make sense). Randomly, it even points to some cosine or even a "2".How do I fix this?  I believe there's something very basic that I'm not paying attention to. Thank you for your attention.The file is attached.

Hello Everyone Does anyone know how to adjust the CL tool path player simulation speed. With the slider set to as slow as possible, it is way too fast to see anything useful, there must be a way to alter the playback speed of the tool path player. Thank you Peter

Hi all,   I am learning how to run a thermal analysis on a PCB using CREO. I do not have a ECAD-MCAD license. I got some sample PCBs from KICAD and tried importing it to CREO. I tried using a .emn and .emp file extensions but only a rectangle was imported. Then I tried importing it as a .step file. It loaded all the components. But I am not able to get the Vias, Copper Routing, Solder masking etc nothing on my CREO. How can I import the PCB file properly on CREO? A proper guide to this will be very much appreciated as I am a beginner using CREO for ECAD. Kind Regards, Naresh  

There is very little documentation on this.     I have a simple block (in wiring diagram) with 5 ports on it.  Each port has a Label attached to it (labels are not attached to the block but to the ports)   I run single fibers to each port.  I want the Port to grab the "color" parameter (or any parameter) from the wire and that calculated parameter will be pushed to the text label.  It should be easy right?   Thanks in advance!  Patiently waiting....

Good Morning, I have encountered a problem solving a symbolic equation using Mathcad Prime 11.0.0.0. I try to evaluate the derivative of function using keywords from Sybolics (Operators and Symbols).The error is: "More than one independent variable for keyword solve.What I try to do is to find when the derivative of the function is equal zero. To find max/min of a function.One variable in function f(x) is x. The rest is defined above. So I do not understand what the problem is here. Variable x should be in metres , from range 0 to 1.Please see below. Also file in attachment.   What did I wrong? Is there a better way to find a solution? Anyone could help? How to do it properly? Kind RegardsKarol

Hi, Just joined the community, and I got some doubts in applying color coding thru EMX. I'm not still not quite good in editing parameters. and just want to implement this in our shop. so detailing will be minimized. for example I want to differentiate relief hole to a sliding fit holes (screw hole and Dowel hole).   Kindly, I want to know how to control this color coding. kindly site some examples and where to locate the configuration and how to set it up.   thank you,   Christopher,

I’m simulating a machine where a thin sheet is cut and then folded to form an envelope around a separator. The motion study is done in Creo Mechanism, and I plan to render in KeyShot, but I can’t get the sheet’s actual deformation in Creo. I’m thinking of animating the sheet in Blender and then bringing that together with the exported Creo assembly mechanism for the KeyShot render. Has anyone tried this?
