On June 27, 2023 (10:00 Eastern), PTC held a Mathcad for Civil Engineers webinar. Check out the now-recorded (formerly live) webinar for opportunities to: Learn what Mathcad is Learn Mathcad use cases for civil and structural engineers Watch Mathcad demos by a guest presenter (Dr. Pat Heffernan, professor of civil engineering at the Royal Military College of Canada) Listen to the Q&A with the presenters and the then-live audience It was a fun time!Here was an excerpt:

Covers creation of repeat region relations to control quantity for bulk items in an assembly BOM table.      

Creo Parametric: Multibody Home --  Start Here!   I'm creating this blog to be the central home page for anyone interested in trying out the new capabilities first introduced in Creo 7.0  that support multibody design. Below will be links to other blog posts on specific detailed topics under the general heading of multibody. I'm interested in getting your feedback on all the new stuff, but I also want to try to do this in a somewhat organized fashion. So, you can think of this blog as the top node of a tree that will have a number of branches below it for the various multibody related topics.   In parallel to the list of blog posts below, I also plan to maintain a Multibody Infos post that provides you with links to further information, documentation, presentations, and any other information bits and pieces around multibody design in Creo. To get going effectively, I encourage you to first go through the What’s new material and tutorials that you find there, so

  Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #14 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about the use of the “Intersect” Feature to create the intersection curve between two bodies (or quilts) You might remember that Creo 7.0 introduced Boolean Operations to perform merge, subtract and intersect operations between bodies. These operations act upon a “target” body which is modified during the Boolean operation. The resulting object there is still a body. In order to create an intersection curve, we therefore cannot use the Body Boolean operations feature, but will use the “Intersect” feature within the “Editing” group.   Starting with Creo 7.0, this “Intersect” feature allows to select bodies as references.In this first example, we select Body 1 (yellow box) and Body  (grey cylinder) and get the full intersection curve as a result. This is illustrated in the image below. (Result is shown in small overlay image)   Note that you could also select just a

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #20 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about illustrating a use case around geometry re-use that became enabled with the new appearance (and reference) propagations in Creo 10.0’s Body Boolean and Split Body features.  (see Multibody: Appearance and Reference Propagation for Boolean Operations (ptc.com) )  In essence we added two new options to Body Booleans as shown in the image below.   Those options allow you to control color propagation and reference propagation. That means for the below example, that when you subtract the orange and white bodies from the green eyelet part, we can propagate the color to the corresponding mating cut faces, and transfer references from the original to the new surfaces, so that for the attached annotations automatically move to the cut surfaces.       So, what is this good for? An example use case for this might be a scenario where you have standardized cut-out

PTC Mathcad Prime 9 is available for download right now (March 7 to 14).   PTC has provided a by-the-facts blog of the major new and enhanced areas of functionality at this blog post.   In addition, you can watch the replay of our April 4, 2023 webinar featuring PTC Mathcad product manager Andy McGough. Andy provided demos and commentary on the new functionality, a brief update on the PTC Mathcad Prime development roadmap, and he took your questions! (Moderated by yours truly.)   If you want to hear a portion of what Andy McGough has to say about PTC Mathcad Prime 9, we published his reasons why you should upgrade to the new version in a quick chat. Whether you're a legacy Mathcad user, already a Mathcad Prime user, or new to Mathcad altogether, PTC Mathcad Prime 9 has exciting features you'll love.

We received an email inquiry which I had forwarded to a Mathcad product manager. I thought it may be useful for others, too, so instead of just emailing the response to the customer, I am posting it here as well.   ------- We need to convert .mcd to .mcdx...We have Prime 6.0.0.0What do we need and how much does the program cost to do this conversion. ------- The .mcdx file format is Mathcad Prime. The .mcd file format is for earlier versions of the legacy software, later versions of the legacy software use the .xmcd file format.   If this customer uses Mathcad Prime 6.0 there is a converter that comes with the software they can use to convert all .xmcd and most .mcd files to .mcdx - ‘most’ .mcd as we only go back as far as something like legacy Mathcad 7, which was late 90’s I think.   From the Input/Output tab in Mathcad Prime 6.0 they can find an ‘xmcd/mcd converter’ button - clicking that will open the converter. They will need the latest version of Mathcad 15.0 (M050

PTC Mathcad Prime 8 has now released! @CatMcchad a quick interview with PTC Mathcad's product manager, @amcgough, for this blog article about what's new and exciting in Mathcad Prime 8, what new functionality users and veterans will look forward to using, and how the Mathcad team decides what new functionality to put into each release. Much of that is customer-driven, and Andy cited several delivered requests from the Mathcad Ideas board on this very community.Read the interview here:https://www.mathcad.com/en/blogs/why-prime8-andy-mcgough  Andy will also be available next week (March 22 at 10:00 Eastern) for a webinar about what's new in Mathcad Prime 8, featuring demos of the new functionality, plus a live Q&A portion with Andy that yours truly will be moderating. Register for that here (or catch the replay-on-demand after the fact):https://www.mathcad.com/en/resources/webcast/whats-new-mathcad-8 Happy calculating~
