Find attached a 3D stiffness analysis I have written in MC-15.The analysis includes member local x beta rotations, member end releases and forced displacements.It will analyse up to 1000 members and 500 joints. The 3D graphics can show selected joints/members/properties/loads/supports with accompanying lists for checking purposes. Given the limitations of plotting member end to member end, which can create false members, the plots of members are made using single points along the member. the density of which can be increased or decreased using sliders. This also allows for sectional plans and elevations to be viewed, again with the use of sliders. Note always push the reset button first as the Mathcad for some reason can sometimes already set the sliders away from the default position. Joint equilibrium checks can be performed on any selected joint and the resulting data exported to Excel which can be used for joint calculations.local selected member shear/bending a

Hello,I would like to be able to solve trigonometric equations with Mathcad 15, but I can't.Example:What is x if cos(x) ≤ 1/2?Can someone tell me how to do this?Thanks in advance.Richard

Hello Mathcad community,Can anyone tell me where the error is?Regards,CarlosRomero

 As the picture above, I want to get the max value for the function K，under a certain condition, but the max() return the value like a matrix，so  how can I get the right value?

Anyone have a suggestion on how to manage a cable/harness in Schematics (by dataset) to a quantity of 1? We have harnesses that are 10 conductor and 12 conductor. We apply a dataset, example 10HRNS1, 10HRNS2, 12HRNS1, 12HRNS2, etc. We need to limit these to be quantity of 1 each so we do not run into errors on the BOM since they are same part number but labeled differently. So my 10HRNS1 can only be quantity 1, 10HRNS2 can only be quantity 1, 12HRNS1 can only be quantity 1 and 12HRNS2 can only be quantity 1. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

How to change the the numerical of Tolerance in Creo elements directs Drafting (Mixed UI) 20.7I have a issue with creating the tolerance. For example. When I type the tolerance 0.027, it only show 0.03 I tried to find the Tolerance setting box and never see it. Please help me to  change this format. Thank you 

Hi all, So we are in the middle of changing our creo 4 to creo 11.0.2.0. I used Creo 4 for years on this machine, never had any issues with licensing (as the way it should be since it is a locked license for a certain MAC address). The machine in question is a workstation laptop, so it has multiple MAC addresses (one for LAN, one for wi-fi 2.4Ghz, one for wi-fi 5Ghz. Creo4 used the lan's MAC address). Now, as Creo 11 comes in the picture I face multiple issues:- at the installation, it sees a different MAC address , so I moved the license to that address, so it allows me to complete the installation- if I change from 2.4Ghz network to 5Ghz one, creo11 won't start ("Invalid host name")- if I change from wifi network to lan, creo11 won't start ("Invalid host name")- after installation, it only works with active internet connectivity- even if creo11 starts, "license is lost" message appears every 3 minutes or so, if I click on retry, I can continue to work, "Regained floating li

[Creo 8] So i have a flexed board and everything works great.  If I deleted a component,  how do i get it back? the  baseline .idx is all i have.  the validate tool still shows it and wont bring it back in.  I've watched the east coast demo and it didn't cover that.  No real training on the PTC UNIVERSITY on this.  

Hello PTC Community, Is there a way to insert borders around text or math blocks?

I often have the situation where I need the same settings for a hole (diameter, counterbore) and use them for another hole in the same part. I have seen that in creo there is the option to copy and paste construction elements such as holes, profiles etc., so is there maybe an option to copy and paste the settings for a hole that I already used, or do you have to set up diameter, depth, counterbore etc. each time that you are creating a new hole?

Hello All, I have been using Creo 10 for about a year now with a SpaceMouse Enterprise.  Recently, when I have an assembly open (doesn't happen in individual part files), I get the regular red "diamond" that shows me the spin center when moving the model with the SM, but I also get an additional red "dot" now that I have not seen before.  Additionally, when I let go of the SM to stop moving the model, it then shifts in a random direction, sometimes up to 1/5 of the screen, away from where I moved it to....   I think that second red dot is linked to the weird shift as I had not had the shifting issue before this dot appeared.  How do I make it go away? Updates:  - The red dot only appears when rotating with SM.  When rotating with MMB, I get no red dot, but the model shift is still there.  It is actually more severe when using MMB, causing the model to shift out of frame.- Closing the model, and re-opening seems to have "f

I am trying to use the fill pattern feature in Creo Parametric 8.0. I am simply trying to create some small 3.0mm holes for vents for an electrical cover box. I have performed the following steps:I have created a rectangular sketch (used for the Fill Region/Grid) created a hole using the extrude feature that is positioned on the same surface within the bounding boxI have tried constraining to the center of rectangular sketch in "bullet point 1", but this doesn't make any difference in my end result I get a preview showing the features that will get patterned I click "OK" and the features are created very far out of the bounding box I created in "bullet point 1"I have tried creating the sketch within the pattern feature as well, with no luck  Every time I try this, using other shapes (hexagon's, squares, etc) as the feature shape, I never get the pattern actually made within the boundary box that Creo Parametric allows you to define. Any idea what is happen

I want to make an extrude to remove material for a relatively simple assembly. However, I found that the extrude doesn't work for smaller distance say 3 inches or to the reference plane I made a little bit from the end of the track. The extrude doesn't work when I say through all or to the plane further down around the bend of the track. 

Convolutional integral of square signal and triangle signal is well knowen probrem.How to find the maximum value of the output signal? Prime's symbolic engine sometimes fail for convolution integral. 7/6 is the answer I want to get. Prime 11 sheet attached.

I thought I could use any connected surface as a draft hinge in previous versions of CREO (2.0 - 4.0). I am currently using 11.0 and tried to use a curved surface as a draft hinge and it could not be selected. Am I mis-remembering or is this possible? Model above is representative only. Yellow is the surfaces to be drafted and green is the surface I wish to use  as a draft hinge.

I am using Creo Parametric Release N/A and DatecodeN/Aif I do "flip material removal side" after make section and arrowsthe lines are gone..

Hello All, For example, ability to cut a part of a case (see black line) best wishes, Gabi

1) I have had a problem where the parts and sometimes assemblies get visually "corrupted". If it happens in parts it is still doable to work around it If I ignore it, as only the visual image gets distorted but I can still work with the part as normal (I can rotate, extrude, and everything normally). Things get tricky when a whole assembly starts to act this way, and I cant really ignore it. I suspect that is occurs the most when I open a part from the assembly and start working with it, but I am not very sure why.  I am not very knowledgeable of computers but these are my laptop specifications: processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz RAM: 16.0 GB Graphics: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe GraphicsCreo: Creo Parametric ver9 2)Another college of mine has a problem where Creo straight up just crashes and closes when it becomes a little heavy. The most we do is drawings and assemblies and it crashes for him. We rarely do simulations.  We suspect t

Hi, Been lurking around here for a decade but never posted before. I just upgraded from MC14 to Prime10 and struggling with things as I get used to it.(1) How do I add additional sheet/page sizes? Specifically I am trying to add A1 and A2, right now it stops at A3.(2) What is the trick to using Find/Replace for subscripts? I tried Test.Test and TestTest but neither returned a match. I did find a post about this related to Prime6 but I figure it must have been addressed by now since I am 4 versions past that... Thanks!

I have a mass system that I am designing isolators for.  I'm attempting to create a new coordinate system that represents the principal axes so that I can use that to identify locations and angles for the isolators.  My problem is that when I compute the principal axes, then create a new coordinate system at the location and orientation of the reported principal axes, the location is correct but the rotation is slightly askew and I can't figure out why.  In the picture below, I would expect my 1, 2, 3 axes and X, Y, Z to be on top of each other.  I uploaded the CAD files as well.
