Today, we’re launching the Creo edition of the PTC Community Spotlights which launched last month in the ThingWorx Community.    Here’s where we have a chance to learn a bit more about our most active community members:  who they are, the products they use, and what they like about being a member of the PTC Community.  I, Ruth Morss, am your guest host on this Creo Parametric Tips board.  Normally, I write Creo product collateral, but when Cat and Jaime Lee gave me the chance to get to know a community member, I grabbed it.   The first community member in our Creo Community spotlight series is Thom Braxton who goes by the handle @tbraxton.  He is most active on the Creo Parametric 3D Part & Assembly Design Forum.   Thom has been a member of the PTC/USER industrial design and surfacing technical committee  through 2002 and got involved again in 2019 to have the chance to influence Creo’s development. This TC is responsible for core s

One example of Unconventional modeling with Creo

I thought that the trial period was 30 days but I got a popup saying "Time Remaining - Your Creo Parametric8.0 trial will expire in - 18813 days, -19 hours and -9 minutes.", is it an error or whats "18813 days" mean? Also, after 30days I wont be allowed to use trial anymore or will be able to use some of the functions still?

Hello Multibody community!   As I recently have received some questions and suggestions around how to trim a body, let me spend a few minutes today to tackle that topic.   #1) How can I trim a body by a datum, surface, quilt etc? I have heard this question several times, as there is no “Trim Body” tool currently in Creo Parametric 7.0. Still, we do have other tools that you can use to trim body geometry.  If you want to trim a body by a datum, surface, quilt, this is the “Solidify-Tool” with the “Remove Geometry” option. Here are two examples how that would look like. Two hints if you want to try it: Set the body that you want to trim as default body. This saves you from needing to access the body options panel in the feature  Pick the trimming object first to get access to the solidify feature         #2) How can I trim a body by another body? This is often useful to perform Boolean operations with a trimmed “modifying body”. Here is an examp

The Creo Product Management team acknowledges the additive manufacturing industry has been quickly evolving and many of our customers are moving beyond prototyping and into final part production. Based on that, you may be aware that we have been working over the past releases of Creo to support this transition through robust additive manufacturing software. A lot of these efforts were made possible thanks to constant feedback from our users that helped drive our product. On that note, we’re currently seeking feedback specific to additive manufacturing in order to validate our assumptions and strengthen our pipeline for the next several releases. We would like to hear from you as we plan to build a better product and experience, please use the link below to answer the survey:   PTC Additive Manufacturing Survey.

The best advice for anyone that has trouble in Sketcher is to keep the sketch simple. Do not try and make a single sketch that encompasses the entire model shape with all cuts and rounded or chamfered edges. Rather, create multiple sketches that are simple, with fewer entities. Fewer entities are easier to control when you start making design changes. Take this muffler model, for example:        The first solid geometry for this model started as this:        Followed by this:      Then this:        Simple sketches of few entities were created, and the solid geometry started to take shape. The sketches should consist of small bites of geometry, not the whole shape at once. For more on Sketching and other topics, check out PTC University's Creo: Fundamentals and Productivity Tools! 

  With the wide-spread use of additive manufacturing, you now have more options than ever before for part and assembly design. That’s because without the restrictions of traditional manufacturing, more intricate structures can now be used to optimize weight, strength, and even heat distribution.   (For an overall introduction, read our Beginner’s Guide to Lattice Structures in Additive Manufacturing.)   In a recent presentation from PTC University, Matt Huybrecht discussed and demonstrated new features in Creo that support lattice structures for those who want to use them. However, before you start, a few questions came up that we thought you might find interesting:   Can I do a structural analysis on stochastic lattices? YES! The DISPLAY of the geometry is that of simplified representation geometry, but the lattice geometry does contribute to mass properties calculations. Therefore, you can leverage it in structural analyses.   How is the additive manufacturi

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #6 in this multibody blog series.   I got asked recently : How can I display a user-defined body parameter in the model tree? If you are interested in that as well, here is how you do it. Let’s walk through an example step-by-step.   Step 1) Let’s assign a body parameter (and let’s call it for example “MY_BODY_PARAM”)   Step 2) Open the Model Tree Columns display dialog   Step 3) Select the Type: Body Params     Step 4) You might notice that the list shows system parameters related to bodies (e.g. PTC_ASSIGNED_MATERIAL), but not the newly added user-defined parameter  Step 5) Manually enter the user-defined-parameter (in our example “MY_BODY_PARAM”) into the Name field     and click the double-arrow to move it into the displayed columns     Step 6) Click “OK” and ensure model tree columns are displayed. Now you should be able to see your body parameters as part of the displayed model tree

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #7 in this multibody blog series. This post also attempts to answer another body parameter related question:How can I display, use or call-out a body parameter? If you want to call out a body parameter then you have to use the syntax as explained in the Creo help here.   &<param_name>:BID_<body_feature_ID> Or &<param_name>:BID_<body_userdefined_name>   Note: For bodies that have the default name (body 1, body 2, etc) you cannot use the system-defined default body name but you have to use the body’s Feature ID. (The reason is that the system-defined names such as body 1, body 2, etc are localized and translated into other languages and therefore not representing stable references across languages.)   Example: Let’s assume we have 2 bodies. Here their names and parameters list.     To call out the parameter “MY_BODY_INFO” for both bodies, we can now use the following for body 1 &MY_BODY
