Hi, I've attached an example with two flexible assemblies. Each of these assemblies contains two parts whose x-position is controlled using a variable dimension. Now my task is to get the "actual" position as it can be seen in the main assembly. I obviously can't use wfcWComponentFeat::getPosition as this gets me the "as constructed" position. I tried to call wfcWComponentFeat::Refresh and wfcWComponentFeat::RefreshRelations before calling getPosition but this hasn't changed anything... Do i have to calculate the correct position myself or is there some kind of "trick" that i have to do in order to get the correct position? Thanks, Christoph

I opened a drawing to make a simple revision and immediately had trouble selecting items.  If I select a note the green box that normally surrounds the selection is offset and rotated.    Creating a new note results in the same.  I created a new sheet and switched the note to that new sheet and it is normal there.  switching it back to original sheet and it messed up again.  It only appears to be a problem on that sheet of that drawing.  It is affecting tables in a similar way.  Has anyone seen this and there is a way to fix it? 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.8.0on a bulk item PProMdlType::PRO_MDL_PARTProMdlsubtype::PROMDLSTYPE_BULKProParameterDelete returns PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERRORThis same code works fine on parts.The UI can delete these parameters. I am a bit lost as to why i cannot delete them. If i am suppose to be able to delete these, i will create a mini project and share the source.

There anyway simple to identify what part is suppressed in a mammoth .asm? Tricks / Tips Pl ....Thx in advance!

I want to rotate an existing group in a part and delete the original. I tried: - Paste special and then used the independent option: It's not independent.- Paste special and then used the advanced option: Cannot simply rotate.- Tried Pattern: Cannot delete/suppress original. Is there a simple way to do it? 

Hi,I have a piece of programming but I'm having trouble understanding all the steps and the programming to reach the product graph.  Can someone document what is happening in the attached?  I hope it will be a step to understanding more complex programs.

Can someone help me to redefine a variable in a for loop or get me moving in the right direction?  I am new to Mathcad.I am calculating a standard step gradually varied flow profile in a steep pipe.  Pages 1 and 2 are inputs and  creating functions that define the geometric properties of the open channel flow in terms of flow depth (y)In the solver block is the energy equation with upstream energy on the left and downstream energy + friction loss on the right.  I want solver block to find the downstream depth (yd) that makes those sides equal, which I get.  (note: the velocity V and friction slope Sf terms in the equation are functions of y, so I can't solve algebraically)My problem is I need to repeat that step by step along the pipe.  for simplicity now I have (100) 1 ft steps in a 100 foot long pipe but those values are arbitrary until I can get the for loop working.In the for loop, for every step I want to redefine yu equal to yd.  I want to be ab

Is there a way, in CREO 10, to get the surface of an extrude to look different than the background surface?The first picture is what I was trying to achieve -- a plaque (i.e. an ornamental tablet, typically of metal, porcelain, or wood, that is fixed to a wall or other surface in commemoration of a person or event).The second picture shows how it looks in CREO, using NO HIDDEN -- anything else (like SHADING WITH EDGES) transforms it into something horrible, that cannot be understood (my colors in CREO have always been awful, never managed to get those nice pastel colors that other people show on YouTube).The third picture shows how it should look even in CREO -- I used colors to make a point, but what I had in mind was at least a GRAINY surface, different from the background surface of the respective plaque, just to make sense to someone who is trying to figure out what they are looking at (no need to look artistically pleasant, but to be at least intelligible).Any ideas would be great

Hi, I need a help to start a creo in a custom way likewise.If it start creo, the config.pro, templates & other files should be copied to local drive from the shared drive. Once i close the creo session & start fresh again it should remove the old files & then copy the same files again from shared drive to local drive.Note : this is a windchill based environment.Kindly help me with the procedure to perform this task.ThanksNaresh

Hello everyone!In the attached photo, I perform a topological analysis starting with the graph of a given system. At the end of the calculation, the two matrices β.t and Q.f should be equal, but instead they are different. Why?Thank you to everyone who will respond.Bye!  

I'm currently working on trying to evaluate the safety of the screws used for a lift bar of a block but seem to not be able to get reasonable values for the stresses inside the bolts. I believe that the model is over constrained but don't know how to fix it. I'm currently using Creo 11 simulate not the live one.  The assembly consists of a large steel block (approx. 4,400 lbs), with a T-shaped lift bar bolted to it. The lift bar is mounted using three screws: two on either end of the top of the T and one at the base. The lifting point is centered on the crossbar of the T (via an eyebolt), and in the simulation this point is fixed. Gravity is applied in the -Y direction using -386.1 in/sec².The fasteners are 1-inch diameter UNRC coarse-thread screws modeled using Creo Simulate's screw fastener feature. They are threaded directly into the block (no nuts), with preload disabled. The materials are high-carbon alloy steels. Analysis Type: Structural, nonlinear with large defo

Hi all:I am looking for help/tips regarding more efficient/practical ways in MathCAD 15 to perform recursive calculations as it relates to creation of arrays, vectorizing the arrays (row by row), and then augmenting these data vectors into a final array.  I have attached MathCAD 15 file to illustrate my questions.The attached file is intended to perform a least-squares fitting of optical wavefront data (optical path difference data) to a set of Zernike polynomials.  I have tried to describe each portion of the script so that it is easier to understand what I am trying to accomplish.The first portion of the script creates two arrays (rho and theta) that contain the respective values over the unit circle.As shown, the next section explicitly lists the mathematical form for of the first 36 Zernike polynomials and evaluates them at each coordinate position.  Once evaluated, individual arrays are created for each, evaluated Zernike polynomial so that in the end we have 36 ind

Hey folks, It`s me again...I have been using Mathcad integration with Creo, but recently one of my friend had asked me "if we can integrate SOLIDWORKS (or any other CAD tool) with MathCAD." I kinda got stumbled on this and been wondering. I was checking out few resources in all PTC & Dassault portals and all I found was the Legacy Mathcad integration with the very old versions of Solidworks. That gets me here seeking answers from y`ll. Can Mathcad Prime 10/11 be integrated with Solidworks 2024 or above/below versions???Will be waiting for your answers...Ciao,Srikar

Hi all ,   I have to simulate an Escapement mechanism's kinematics.     I want to know if modeling the mechanism in Creo is even feasible before I start.It works back and forth ('foliot') and is not only a two-wheel rotation that is impacted by diameter ratios. (Key innovation: the escapement) I want to know if using a Creo mechanism is even feasible.   I appreciate the answers in advance.

Hello Community,While working with Creo MBD and exporting the models in STEP AP 242 format for downstream use, I'm facing the following issues:Notes and Symbols MisalignmentAnnotations placed using the "Flat to Screen" display option are not exporting correctly.After import, their orientation and scaling appear distorted or inconsistent with the original combined state view.Semantic PMI Reference IssuesSome semantic references, especially surfaces selected for dimensions like shaft lengths, appear to be mapped incorrectly or changed post-export/import.I would like to know:Are there recommended export settings or best practices in Creo for ensuring accurate STEP 242 output (especially for semantic PMI and screen annotations)?Similarly, are there any import settings or tool-specific considerations for maintaining annotation fidelity in the target system?Is it advisable to avoid using “flat to screen” annotations when targeting STEP 242 format? Creo 8.0 user..

Hi there, as shown in the following screenshot, could someone kindly tell what is wrong with this mathcad operation? There are are same values of 6 inches. But still it is showing "NOT OK". I would be much obliged if someone can resolve my this problem. 

I am using Creo Parametric version 6.0. I need to use my drawing for multi-region purposes.  When I tried to find a solution, it led to controlling layer properties using the view manager option for drawing in the view tab and the combined state option. But I couldn't find the View Manager option in the View tab in the drawing file. Where shall i find the view manager option ?

Hello, I would like to hear some opinion on Creo Unite and experiences if someone have.I used Open and Import possibilities in Creo to open SolidWorks assembly files and assemble it in top level assembly. So when using open it stay in native (SW) form and in behind Creo make wrapper files which we can see on local folders (*SLDASM.creo, *SLDPRT.creo) but not on windchill. When using import it creates links to original SolidWorks files and save it in native Creo files with .asm and .prt formats. So what are better features in case of updating that SW files when someone send it to us, to use Open or Import. As i could see so far both have capabilities of updating when you overwrite newly SW assemblies in a local folder or checking in new version in Windchill. We even tested Open and Import with inseparable assemblies , so we received SW files with virtual components (inseparable or embedded in Creo), and Creo understood that well. So considering performance , that imported component

Hello, I receive the errror message listed in subject line when trying to post an NC file.  I have set the "ncpost_type" setting in the configuration editor previously.  I am using Creo 9.   Any help is appreciated.  

Hi all,  I have an issue with plotting a function on Mathcad Prime 11. For some reason there are missing segments in the plots of my shear-force diagrams. I'm not sure why this is happening, other plots I have made seem to work fine - any guidance would be much appreciated.  The plots and respective functions are on pages 9 and 17 of the attached document. Thanks in advance  

Is there away to make a representation that puts all sub models in a assembly to a defined user defined representation? So lets say that company standard defines that each part model has following custom representations: * Medium_Rep* Low_Rep So one way would be to have a representation in assembly level that is also called Medium_Rep and Low_Rep that would automatically set every part to their .respective representation. We can off course do this manually one by one, but is there a way to automate setting of user representation in bulk? Or even entirely automatically?

 Can someone help me on this? 

Hello,Why isn't it possible to determine the angle using the table pattern?If possible, how can I make it work? The 40° in the picture.
