Hello, how can I replace in simulation those kind of bolted joints so preload is included. I need to create linear simulation with bolted joints and analyse those joints so they are accurately represented. The problem is Creo simulate can't create bolted joint while there are more than two parts bolted togeather. Can those bolted joints be recreated as a  beam structure or any kind of spring structure?Thank you in advance

Hi Folks, I have a system of three coupled ODEs that I'm trying to solve in Prime 10.  I seem to have a  syntax error, but the help files are so terse, I can find an example to follow.  I'm sure I'm making a basic mistake, but I can't figure it out from the documentation. I'd be most obliged if someone could point me in the right direction. The attached file actually has two different solution attempts in it.  The first is a state space solution with rkfixed.  I followed a short example from the documentation, but it doesn't work.  The second is the uses odesolve in a solve block.  I'd be happy if I could get either one to work, but the solve block version seems like it takes better advantage of Prime's features. Edit:  I figured out the problem with the odesolve solution.  I defined three of the initial conditions incorrectly.  I wrote x1'(t)=0  rather than x1'(0)=0.  That just leaves the state space

Hi,I have a load of legacy MCD files that I wanted to convert to the new format to use. In the trial version I don't appear to have access to the full functionality of Mathcad Prime.To help me evaluate the software is there anyway I can use the XMCD, MCD converter tab to automate this? Otherwise I'm not really sure how I can use the trial to evaluate the software without the original files?Any help you could give would be apricated.Regards,Steve Fay

Hello @MN_2245665   With reference to this topic. I dont have mathcad 15. when I try to convert it to Mathcad prime 9, i get an error message: Thanks, Sam

I opened this Topic a little while ago, and accepted what seemed to be a solution, but it is only a band-aid, not a full solution.  It does not always work.  Since that topic is "Solved" I am opening this as a follow up. The previous topic is: "Where is the Explode > Reset Component Position Function?"  located at https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Where-is-the-Explode-gt-Reset-Component-Position-Function/m-p/1017403 The Toggle Explode is misleading as I mentioned in a response on the other thread.  Now, here is an example where the Toggle does not place components back to the original location like the "Explode > Reset" did.  This is as close as I can get.  If I Toggle explode on any of these, it sends them out into space.  Where is the Explode > Reset Position function? In case you don't know, there was an excellent function for working with explode states called "Reset" which would put the compone

Hello newbie here, (user of Mathcad Prime 10.0)I wanted to ask if anyone can explain how to use normal Iteration in Mathcad. Like, I have different equations and I want to create 5 loops or "intervals" to get my answer. I always used "solve block" for iteration, but now this won't work. I want to create something like this: I tried asking AI but it only gave me nonsense. I never used this type of Iteration on Mathcad before, only on Excel. Thanks for any help. Sorry if I wrote a little bit wobbly, English is not my native language. Best regards,Saro : )

How do I copy paste large data in first column of combo box? Rest columns I am able to copy paste the data but first column how to do that? 

I have three stacked blocks with widths denoted as B1, B2, and B3. Each block is 4 feet high, and the bottom elevation of the lowest block is defined by BotEL.The ground surface is represented by a set of known points with X and Y coordinates describing its sloping geometry.For each block, I need to determine the coordinates of two intersection points with the ground surface. These are labeled a1 and b1 for the first block, a2 and b2 for the second, and so on.The "a" points correspond to the vertical lines at the right edge of each block, where the X-coordinate aligns with the block’s right edge. The corresponding Y-coordinate must be interpolated from the ground profile at that X-location, The "b" points correspond to lines forming an angle θ (theta) with the ground as shown. A Mathcad and an image illustrating the problem are attached.I appreciate any help!

Buen dia comunidad, tengo un problema en la iteracion para encontrar un valor (Xcal) donde la condicion es que el valor calculado menos el dato del valor inicial sea cero (Xo = Xcal) o el error sea minimo. Por favor si alguien me pueda ayudar se lo agradeceria. Gracias por la atencion prestada. La version de Mathcad Prime 9.0.0  

Hello, I have solved some problems and formulas in artificial intelligence: Deepseek and ChatGPT then and converted them to MATHCAD format. There are no errors, they are well written, but Mathcad does not recognize formulas or numbers, it pastes them as text... Is there any way to solve this? Is it possible to use a programming language to use the Gauss Seidel and Newton Raphson methods directly in Mathcad? I have the codes in Python but I want Mathcad to generate the .mcdx document for me...

Hello everyone,eff.K shown in picture is radius of curvature along beam length and X is the array for sectional points.I have to double integrate eff.K to get deflection. How can i do it in Mathcad? Attached Mathcad 10 sheet.  

I would like to write a program to create a nested array. I have a column vector containing angle values. I want to iterate through this vector and create an array of arrays with each element being [cos(angle) sin(angle)]. I am sure this is not difficult, but the syntax is not clear to me at present. I think I have been writing python programs for too long.Thanks in advance for any help

Hi everyone, I am working in Java with Creo's OTK, and through JLink, I was able to connect to the currently running Creo Session. I want to add an ActionListener to my session object that detects when the session terminates. So far, I have this:class CreoTerminationListener extends ActionListener_u implements AsyncActionListener { @Override public void OnTerminate(TerminationStatus terminationStatus) { System.out.println("Termination detected!"); }}After loading in the pfcasyncmt library, I retrieve the session as such:AsyncConnection async = null;try { async = pfcAsyncConnection.AsyncConnection_Connect(null, null, null, 5);} catch (Exception e) { System.err.println(e);}if (async == null) { System.err.println("Async connection to Creo not established!"); return;}Session sess = async.GetSession();creoTerminationListener = new CreoTerminationListener();sess.AddActionListener(creoTerminationListener);Then, I start an HTTP server through Creoson which communicates with the Creo clien

If anyone does have those permissions and agrees with the idea, feel free to add it. https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Ideas/ct-p/creoideas)Dear PTC Product Management Team, I’d like to propose a new feature for future releases of Creo Cabling: the ability to save and manage multiple cable routing states within a single cable assembly—similar to how flexible components work. ### Proposed functionality:- **Save named states** of a routed cable (e.g. “Straight,” “Routed Around Hinge,” “Slack”).- **Load or switch** between these states at will.- **“Straighten” button** to automatically place intermediate nodes in a straight line between connectors (much like the sheetmetal flatten tool).- Connector positions would also be flexible when swapping shape states. This would improve workflows significantly, removing the need for

Hi All,   I am currently working on some assemblies in Creo 4 that were created in Wildfire 4. Many of these assemblies have several (500+) breakable dependencies due to layer states. I have been looking for more information about these dependencies, but haven't been able to find much. I am trying to determine, how are these dependencies created? How is it that some of these assemblies have so many? If I break the dependency what happens? Any information about this would be great.   Thanks in advance!

I would like to create a drawing template that pulls in notes that have been created in the Combined State model file, much the same way we can automatically pull in drawing views from the model file into the drawing.  All my attempts to do this have failed. It seems like I can only pre-load pre-typed notes, rather than have the drawing pull in notes from the Combined State model file.  Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a custom Creo parametric C++ plugin by creating a Process in C# and calling "parametric.exe". I'm using Creo Parametric 7.0.9.0 with C# .NET Framework 4.8. This is the C# code to create the process and run parametric.exe: process.StartInfo.FileName = "\"C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 7.0.9.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe\""; process.StartInfo.Arguments = $"+Assypath=\"{_settings.WorkingDirectory}\\{assemblyName}\" "; process.StartInfo.Arguments += $"+Output_Dir=\"{_settings.WorkingDirectory}\" "; ... // Some other arg setting... ... process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; process.EnableRaisingEvents = true; process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; process.Exited += (sender, args) => { int exitCode = process.ExitCode; if (exitCode == 0) { Logger.LogMessage("Ran successfully"); } else { Logger.LogMessage($"Exited with error code: {exitCode}"); } }; var errorData = new String

Hallo Community,ich stehe derzeit vor einem Problem und ich komme wirklich nicht mehr weiter. Ich möchte einen ergonomischen Fahrradgriff für ein studentisches Projekt konstruieren, der am Ende mittels 3D-Druck gefertigt werden soll. Ich habe ein Teil der Auflagefläche herausextrudiert, um später ein weicheres Material (evtl. TPU) entweder über 2 Komponentendruck oder durch mechanisches Fügen in einem extra Schritt auf die Fläche aufzubringen. Die Schritte dafür waren Versatz --> Profil --> Zusammenführen --> Verbundvolumen (Bem.: Das Modell besitzt Freiformflächen). Für die Auflagefläche benötige ich wiederum das zuvor herausextrudierte Volumen, das ich dann ggf. auch anpassen kann. Ich bin zunächst gleich vorgegangen und am Ende wollte ich mit beim Verbundvolumen Material auffüllen, was zu einer Fehlermeldung führte. Dann habe ich jeweils die untere und obere Skizzengeometrie auf die Fläche durch Zusammenführen erstellt. Wie bekomme ich jetzt ein Volumen aus diesen Flächen?

Hi Community, Creo version in use 11.0.2.0 connected to Windchill 12.1.2.10 Does anyone here know a way to define a reference designator for a component used in a subassembly in the upper Assembly?Our use case:A - Top Assembly,  B - Subassembly (Gathering Part)    C - Component with an electrical designation e.g. R101  B - Subassembly (Gathering Part)    C - Component with an electrical designation e.g. R102 Subassembly B is used several times within A, but it's actually just a "dummy" assembly which only exists in MCAD. When we now assign a reference designator for C, it is defined in B, hence it's always the same, but it should differ. Is there anything foreseen in Creo / Windchill to cover this? Follow up question would be if it's somehow possible that component C immediately appears in the WT-Part structure of A without generating a Part for B? Thanks and BR

I learned a little bit, but I haven't mastered it at all.It should be cold at one end and hot at the other, but I didn't expect that one end is hot and the other end is even hotter.Is there expert tell me where I am wrong?

I’m have a CFD project with an oil/water heat exchanger in a hydraulic tank. I would be studying how effective the cooler is at lowering the temperature of the oil over a given time so, it would be a transient analysis. The cooler has two cores with water looping through them in series. Each core has 182 copper tubes that are 0.4 mm thick and 170 aluminum fins that are 0.25 mm thick with a spacing of about 1.73 mm. I want to do cunjugate heat transfer across the solid geometry, but with so many components that are thin walled, the number of cells in the mesh woul be astronomical.  I'm looking for suggestions on a basic approach to this analysis.  Can the tubes and fins be compressed to mid-surfaces and run in CFA? That would require fewer cells in the solid domains. I see that there is something buried in the mesher about two fluid heat exchangers, but I haven't been able to find information on how to utilize that. Some direction there would be helpful too.  &n
