This month’s challenge is related to electrical engineering. We have a simple circuit with an electrical potential of 220 Volts. Initially we have a single 10 Ohm resistor. Then we add a second resistor in parallel, with 10% higher resistance. Then we add a third resistor in parallel, with 10% higher resistance than the previous resistor. And so on. Calculate the current in the circuit for the single resistor case. Calculate the resistance of each additional resistor and current through each resistor for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 resistors in parallel. Can you write a function or program that calculates the resistance of each resistor and current through each resistor for n resistors in parallel? These calculations are fairly straightforward, so it will be interesting to see what tools – vectors, matrices, loops, plots, charts, etc. – that you use to solve the problem. As always, how you document your calculations is important as your worksheet will be visible to the community. Here is an e

Hello Multibody community!   Welcome to a second post on multibody capabilities added in Creo 7.0.1. What I had not yet been fully covering in the last post was how Creo & Windchill interact as it relates to the multibody concept. So, here a summary of Multibody support for Windchill & Visualization General behavior Multibody parts are managed similarly to single body parts, bodies are not exposed Windchill versions prior to Windchill 12 Body designation information is ignored when connected to a Windchill Server version not supporting body designation yet Publishing of multibody parts to Creo View is supported since Creo View 6.1 (including exposure of bodies to Creo View) Windchill 12 & Creo 7.0.1 Support of Body designation, including Transfer of Body designation information from Creo to Windchill for models containing designated bodies WT part creation for designated bodies if BOM Designation is set (.prt, .asm) IBA mapping & propagation for body mater

Dear PTC Community,     We would like to inform you that some of your favorite Creo extensions and packages have been renamed. You will ask “What does it mean?” but no need to worry – it is just a simple name change; the content will stay absolutely the same (amazing!)    Here is a short overview of the changes:   Extensions  Creo Simulation Live Plus - Creo Simulation Live Advanced   Creo Flow Analysis Plus - Creo Flow Analysis Advanced  Creo GD&T Advisor Plus - Creo GD&T Advisor Advanced  Creo Additive Manufacturing (AMX) Plus - Creo Additive Manufacturing (AMX) Advanced  Creo High-Speed Milling Plus - Creo High-Speed Milling Advanced   Packages   Design Advanced Plus - Design Advanced Professional  Design Premium Plus - Design Premium Professional   Creo Parametric Essentials Plus - Creo Parametric Essentials Professional  Creo Essentials Plus - Creo Essentials Profess

This month's challenge is another geometry-based challenge - but it's non-Euclidean geometry. Given the following three points on a circle of radius 10 units, calculate the area of the spherical triangle: (5.339, 6.948, 4.819) (-4.018, -3.703, 8.375) (6.455, -6.679, -3.705) (Note that the point coordinates are rounded to three decimal places.)   Optional: Can you write a program or function that calculates the area for any three points on the surface? Is there a symbolic evaluation for three generic points (a,b,c), (d,e,f), and (g,h,k)?   Here is a 3D model in Creo 9 of the sphere and points:   Find the Mathcad Community Challenge Guidelines here!   Edit: the coordinates of the second point were incorrect. Wildly incorrect. I have no idea how I wrote down the wrong numbers.

The first two challenges were biased towards mechanical engineering. May’s challenge pertains to geometry. Create a worksheet in which you calculate (1) the diameter of a circle and (2) the length of a side of a square that yields the minimum combined area for a combined perimeter of 1 meter. This is an optimization problem. What tools within Mathcad can provide you with a result? Optional: How can you depict the results? Can you use a 2D plot or Chart Component to visualize the answer?Find the Mathcad Community Challenge Guidelines here!

Do you work in the engineering department responsible for product design?  We know that designers and engineers must address issues around cost, compliance, and product redesigns. In many cases, this requires pulling data from different systems. We have created a solution vision that we want your feedback on. Through this approach, we would collect data automatically and deliver it via Windchill (PLM) to help you make data-driven design decisions and speed up the process of collecting and analyzing this data. The call will be hosted remotely using MS Teams or Zoom, and last approximately 45 - 60 minutes. You will be rewarded with a $50 honorarium in the form of an e-gift card. Interested?  Register here:  https://www.userinterviews.com/projects/6g1pRnFf_A/apply
