Hello PTC community,  I'm using Creo Parametric 9.0.4.0 and would like to perform simulations. Apparently, the Simulate is grayed out but Flow Analysis is not. Is this licensing issue or something else? Thanks,SR

Hi everyone,I am simulating the attached link mechanism (car seat flip-up with leg folding) in Creo MDO.(To get operating torque for seat flip up at each angle) However, the measured motor torque varies significantly depending on the flip-up motor speed and the minimum interval settings. In my current model, I observed the following:  Motor speed: 10 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Motor torque oscillates significantly. Motor speed: 1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 or 0.1 Result: Stable torque results. Motor speed: 0.1 deg/s Minimum interval: 1 to 0.01 Result: Simulation fails because the slot connection breaks. Based on these results, it seems that using a slower motor speed and a smaller minimum interval does not always improve simulation stability. Could anyone explain why this behavior occurs and share any recommendations for improving the stability of MDO simulations? Any best practices for selecting motor speed, interval settings, or other solver parameters would be greatly

Hello PTC Support,I would like to ask for advice about the markup features in Creo View Lite.We open PDF drawings stored in Windchill using Creo View Lite, and we would like to use the markup function to add comments and feedback for the drawing creator.However, we are having some difficulty with the usability of Creo View Lite, so we would appreciate your advice.The issues are as follows:When using a PC with a mouse and keyboard, it is difficult to place an annotation exactly where we want it. Also, the annotation window is too small. When using a touch panel monitor, we want to draw lines on the drawing, but the operation is recognized as scrolling instead, so the drawing on the screen moves. We would like to write Japanese comments that require two or more strokes. However, when using the freehand tool, the input is finalized as soon as we release the mouse button or lift the pen/finger. Therefore, it seems that we can only use the “Annotation” function for comments.Could you please

All,CREO 8: Is there an easy way to not have multiple lines in bom for flexible components in assembly? No duplicates or No duplicate level does not work. I saw something about editing the bom. I did not understand itI tried using family tables instead of flexible models, but having the same problem with multiple lines.WayneF

What is the best procedure for using current 2D layouts in Creo? This involves large factory layouts built from multiple ME10 2D parts.

Hello,I am new to developing custom functions for Mathcad Prime.I already managed to create a working custom function in C, but I still cannot understand how to do the same in C++.To be honest, I do not understand the internal structure of Visual Studio C++ projects yet. I am learning step by step and using AI to help me understand the code and project structure.My goal is to move large engineering calculations from Mathcad into C++ DLL libraries. I hope to use AI to help convert my Mathcad algorithms into C++, but first I need to understand how a working C++ custom function project is organized.At the moment I cannot even create a very simple function like:int add(int a, int b){    return a + b;}I am not asking anyone to write my project for me.I would simply like to have a minimal Visual Studio C++ project that builds into a DLL and is recognized by Mathcad Prime. Even a project containing only one simple function would be enough.Once I have one working example, I believe I will be a

HiI am experiencing a visualization issue in Creo Ansys Simulation. (12.4.2.0)The simulation completes successfully and the result legend/color scale is displayed correctly. However, when viewing the results, the part is displayed as a wireframe and the contour plot (fringe colors) is not shown on the geometry.The issue occurs across all simulation types and result types that I have tested.An interesting observation is that when I start a result animation, the contour colors immediately appear and are displayed correctly during the animation. Once the animation stops, the model returns to the wireframe-only display.Has anyone encountered this behavior before?Thanks 

We recently moved from Creo Parametric 9 to 12 and me and several colleagues have an issue with dimensioning in sketcher. Sometimes I have to retry multiple times  to create a dimension between lines/ points etc. The mouse does snap but sometimes the dimension is just not created and nothing happens. Does anyone recognize this and has a possible solution?

According to the developer guide tkusetoc, this function supports passing a drawing view argument to display annotations only in the target view starting from Creo Parametric 2.0 M060. The official documentation states:From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, you can specify the view in which the annotations for the selected feature and component must be displayed. For the functions ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and ProAnnotationByComponentShow(), specify the view where the annotations must be displayed. If you pass the input argument view as NULL, the annotations are displayed in all the views.However, during practical development, the function returns error code -9 (PRO_TK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) whenever a valid non-NULL ProView handle is passed to the view parameter. When passing NULL to the view argument, all annotations are displayed across every drawing view as documented, which works as expected. My business requirement is to show feature annotations exclusively in a single specified draw

Hello,I am working on a Creo Toolkit customization that needs to identify features created from a UDF and generate sequences based on the original UDF feature names.As described in CS196043, when a UDF is placed in Creo Parametric, the feature names from the source UDF are not preserved in the resulting model. Because of this behavior, I cannot directly compare the placed feature names with the original UDF feature names.However, in the UDF Placement dialog, under the Options tab, the "Redefine These Features" section displays the original feature names from the source UDF. This information appears to be available somewhere internally within Creo.I reviewed the Creo Toolkit API documentation but could not find an API that provides access to the original UDF feature names.My question is:Is there any Creo Toolkit API that allows access to the original feature names shown in the "Redefine These Features" list? If not directly, is there another supported method to retrieve the mapping betw

Hi there , How can I work in Mathcad faster. it freezes when I use large data I have to use loop functions , however , it took so much time and doesn't calculate I have to close it and open it again and still doesn’t work  Thanks, Yusra 

Hi, everyone! I was wondering: is there a way to set in parameters or templates the bend position to “add geometry” instead of standard option to the keep wall profile? I would like to have it as default for all my designs from the beggining instead of having to set it manually on every new design. Bend position. Thanks in advance.

Hey,I have used zone section view, I want to increase the X-Hatching size in my drawing view. How can I do it?

Hi There ,I have two functions are exactly the same but in two different sheet in the first sheet . it works perfectly and I’m getting the expected answers for f2In the second sheet it doesn't work and I suspect the reason is M has different arrays . How can I fix this function : the error says : This array index is invalid. The index must be an integer, not less than ORIGIN, and not greater than the last element."I can’t attached simplified sheet even in zip file. I hope you can help Thanks in advance , Yusra 

Hi All,Is it possible using ProMdlCombStateCreate routine to set different visibility styles(show, blank, wireframe, etc) for several solid object (prt, asm) in the model as in the interactive CREO session?Thanks. 

Hello All,Please find the below definitions of ECAD Documents and ECAD Types in Windchill.ECAD Document is typically a subtype of EPM Document (Engineering Product Management Document) used to manage electronic design data originating from ECAD authoring tools such as:Altium Designer Cadence Allegro Mentor Graphics / Xpedition etcECAD integrations allow organizations to store, version, control, visualize, and manage electronic design information as part of the overall Product Definition and Digital Thread. ECAD documents can participate in product structures, change management, BOM management, and release processes.ECAD BoardECAD Board subtype typically represents the physical PCB layout generated by an ECAD tool.It contains:PCB geometry Stack-up information Component placementThis object often becomes the master electronic design representation managed within Windchill and may be associated with Parts, BOM, Changes etc. ECAD DefinitionECAD Definition generally represents the authorita

!--scriptorstartfragment-->Hello, I would like to simulate a mechanism consisting of a pendulum (Point A), a pulley (Point B), and a slider (Point C) in an assembly. The conditions are:- The wire between Point A and Point C is inextensible (constant length, no stretch, no slack).- The wire passes over Point B (pulley).- The pendulum is rigid one-part. My questions are: 1. Is it possible to build such an assembly model using relations or other Creo mechanisms?2. Can this model be used for motion simulation in MDO (Mechanism Dynamics Option)? I tried using relations based on measured distances (Analysis → Measure).However, it seems that the measure feature cannot be used on the left-hand side of a relation, so I could not enforce the constraint properly. Does anyone have suggestions for modeling this kind of system in Creo?(I am useing Creo11) Thank you in advance.``!--scriptorendfragment-->

Hola - We use CreoNC extensively - however, we use Vericut for simulation and never have built a machine model for use within Creo. I’m attempting to do that now.At no point have I been able to make the kinematic machine model appear in the Creo NC window. I’ve read the (thin) information available. I’ve asked Gemini. I then went to the Knowledge Base and downloaded the FADAL VMC file (close enough to the vertical mill I created) and I can’t get that to work either.I am using Windchill - maybe that’s the issue since I don’t have the machine in the pro_mfg_workcell folder, though I did browse to where it is and it accepted the entry.I also cannot find “Machine Play” anywhere, either in NC or ProProcess.Licensing issue? TIA

I would like to use the result of a quadratic function for another mathematical operation. Example: F(x)=4x^2+x-3 gives the results -1.0 and 0.75. I would like to use the value 0.75 for another operation. Please give me some tips on how to write this in Mathcad.
