Hi,I am trying to plot the average pressure from several monitoring points in Creo Flow Analysis / Creo 12.I have 10 monitoring points namedPoint 01, Point 02, ... Point 10According to the documentation, I understood that monitoring point values can be accessed using syntax like:flow.P@probe."Point01"and that user-defined XY plot variables should be created using:plot.varnameSo I tried defining an expression like:plot.P_avg = (flow.P@probe."Point 01" + [...] + flow.P@probe."Point 10")/10#plot.P_avg: Average Pressure [Pa]However, I cannot find plot.P_avg as a selectable variable in the XY Plot panel or elsewhere afterwards.Has anyone successfully plotted an average value from multiple monitoring points in Creo Flow Analysis?Am I missing a specific place/context where the expression must be created, or is there another syntax required?Thanks in advance.

Mild spring day today. Enjoy your weekend. Hug the ones you love. Maybe twice…   Do you want to hear a joke about engineering drawings? They are tearable.

Hello Team,We are trying to install\upgrade Creo View Express 13.0 as offline installer.As per the installation guide, if Microsoft WebView2 Runtime is already installed on the machine, the installer should detect it and proceed without downloading or modifying the existing installation. However, this is not happening.We have, Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime version 148 is already installed on the machine. During Creo View Express 13.0 installation, the installer still attempts to download WebView2 Runtime version 146 from the internet.Since the environment does not have internet access, the installation cannot proceed.We tested both x86 and x64 WebView2 Runtime installations.We also tested installation under system context and administrator context.Test Environment is Windows 11 Virtual machine.Need help on,Is the installer specifically checking for version 146 only, or should newer versions (such as 148) also satisfy the prerequisite?Does the installer require a particular WebView2 c

Hello,In my current project, I need to define custom attributes on context objects (Product, Library, and Project).I'm wondering what the recommended approach is:Subtyping the OOTB context types (wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct, wt.inf.library.WTLibrary, wt.projmgmt.admin.Project2) to add the attributes on the subtypes, or Modifying the OOTB types directly through the Type and Attribute Manager?My main concerns are upgrade safety and long-term maintainability. Subtyping feels cleaner, but I'm not sure if context types behave differently from regular object types in that regard, particularly when it comes to container creation and template resolution.Does PTC have any official documentation?Thanks in advance.

Hi All,I’m facing an appearance‑related issue when importing STEP AP214 files into Creo 11, and I’m looking for guidance or best practices.Workflow and Issue:I export a STEP file (AP214 format) from Fusion 360. When I import this STEP file into Creo 11 as an assembly, all components appear with the default grey appearance. However, when I clear the assembly‑level appearance in Creo, the original part‑level appearances/colors are restored correctly. The same STEP file opens correctly with appearances intact in Autodesk Inventor, without any manual steps.STEP Schema Used:FILE_SCHEMA (('AUTOMOTIVE_DESIGN { 1 0 10303 214 3 1 1 }'));Questions:Is there a way in Creo 11 to retain the original appearances automatically when importing STEP AP214 assemblies? Is this behavior related to how Creo handles assembly‑level vs part‑level appearances during STEP import? Are there specific STEP import settings, config.pro options, or best practices to prevent Creo from assigning the default grey appearan

Hello Ladies and Getelman, I am a student of the TU-Wien in engenering. I really like the Cad lessons and have great fun creating parts and assemplys with Creo butrecently my licensestoped working. I tryed activating it again with the installation guide providet by the TU but every time i try to put in the licencing Code It just says Error (Fehler!). I asked my proffesors about this and they just sayed that it looks like they can´t do anything and i should figure out a allternative like working on the projekts from a friends PC. But a have a assiment due the 24. and every student got a differnet one so i would have to make everything again with took an entire semester with 4 weekly hours each and many more at home. I don´t know what i can do, maybe i am just to dumb to install a new license. I would really appriciate a repply with a solution to my problem if there is one. Thank you either way for listening to my problem. Thank you again- Matthias Eder

Hello,anyone could help determining how the workflow expression should be composed to get a conditional when a CN includes asm files in the affected objects.Thank you.

@vnamboodheri I have to say your website is really bad. It wastes me at least 0.5 hour and no result. After half an hour of retry post the new idea, it still fail to post. I wonder why you can’t post the new idea for me in your website if you are a staff of CodeBeamer.The screen shot of my post is as below. But it don’t have any feedback after clicking “Create”.  Why it doesn’t give any prompt if I miss something?

I am using Creo 9.0.8.0 and in the process of obsoleting some parts. I delete a couple of patterns of parts (stacked on a skid), but the quantity dimension is left behind (orphaned?). Is this a bug?   Before deletion (I hadn't saved, so I exited and started over) After deletion Thanks, Dale

Is it possible to create a mirrored part/sub assy in Creo Parametric through Toolkit ?i'm aware to Articles - CS339524 & CS291468 however maybe there is some workaround to achive this goal ? thought on maybe using Merge / Inheritance or such.any idea would be appriciated

I've tried to install the software with the education product code provided . When inputing the code, after login with the ptc credentials , the software created a .dat file but was empty and the instalation software kept saying incorrect or wrong format file. Afte trying 3 times the same procedure with the same result, now when i tried again it says :"you have reached the maximum number of licenses request available for your product type"

for MBD files i’ve made revisions after that i need to clear the notes like {5}, so that is their any way to clear them, i tired by mapkeys or modelcheck but couldn’t get exact way..Pls let me know any possible scenorios Thanks in advance 

HI i dont know who i cant convert the file from xmcd to mcdx. can some kind soul help me to convert it ?

Hello, typically when using derived parts we know beforehand if we will be using them or not. To do this typically we would make the purchased blank, then use the derive (merge inheritance) feature to show the part was made from said blank beforehand. My question is, if we already have an existing part, is there any way we could create a blank, then change the existing part to be derived from said blank?

Hi,Does anyone know how I can change the default window size in Creo?Let me explain better: when I run the command View >>> Windows >>> Default Size,the window shrinks like this.Is there a way to get the screenshot at the maximum screen size or a larger size?Thanks!P.S. I’m using Creo 12.4.3.0

We are using Creo parametric 8.0.8.0. The model of laptop has changed to Dell Pro Max16.There are a lot of unknown issues during Creo operations like sudden shut-down of Creo, taking too long to open assemblies compare to old laptops and so on.Dell Pro Max16 is on Creo parametric PTC Creo 10.0 Hardware Support Dell while it is not on PTC Creo 8.0 Hardware Support Dell. Would there be any potential solutions for this?

Hallo,in einer Baugruppe sollen über “Ansichts-Manager” verschiedene Varianten der Baugruppe erstellt werden. Dabei sind in einer Variante nur jeweils wenige Teile spezifisch, die meisten kommen in allen Varianten vor. Einige dieser Komponenten werden aber an unterschiedlichen Stellen verbaut.Wir kann das realisiert werden, ohne bei jeder Variante diese Komponenten neu in die Baugruppe laden und verbauen zu müssen?Danke und Gruß,Jörg

Hi, I am trying to solve an ODE to model a “Ball and Cone” tuned mass damper. The equations simulate a ball mounted inside a pair of cones with mass on top. The ball oscillates up and down an inclined slope with a curved region at the apex between the up/down slopes. I am using Radau solver as it is a stiff equation. Adams/BDF “does not converge”. The 1st solve block uses a simplified simulation for base excitation of the TMD. Using Radau with modest levels of damping the first solve block result gives a discontinuous response which should not happen given the inclined slope is a tangent to the curved section at the apex. Any ideas how I can correct this discontinuity would be appreciated.I tried using sigmoid transition functions (2nd solve block) for the step between inclined slope and radius but this gives a large number error.The 3rd solve block includes an extra degree of freedom to simulate the tower on which the damper is mounted, which is the aim of the program. This won’t solv

how can we convert xmcd files if converter is not working, is this a bug any workarounds?

I'm a SW user with about a year of CREO use now. I'm on CREO Parametric 10.0.4.0. I'm playing with a PCB layout, placing major components on a motherboard. So I've dropped in a PCIe card, and attached it to a PCIe Connector, and I've got power connectors, and other hand-accessible components (buttons, switches, etc). I've constrained them all to the PCB surface, and now I'd like to drag them around and figure out which layout works best for end-user and PCB design team. The only way I seem to be able to do this is to click on a component, and Edit Definition, and then drag the arrows for the unconstrained Degrees of Freedom. That's kind of okay, except that CREO seems to really think the assembly order matters. So if I place the PCIe connector first, I have to drag that around in its DoF, but that hides the PCIe card, and associated cables since those were placed later. And if I move whatever the first component is (in this case a button), every other component disappears so I hav

Are there any users out there that can vouch for the current HSM Modules in relation to 4 axis milling?  Has PTC improved 4 axis much?

I can complete all aspects of processing a model into a machined part except the output file needed for my machine. I have simple 3 axis proto tack SMX controller that needs a .gcd file output. I can only save and view my CL data into an .ncl format. W use Creo 10.0.3.0. Any assistance with post processors?
