Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi Guys, I’m using Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0 ,I created a few samples with lattice structures and wanted to compare the 3D printed result to the CAD design. Now for the formula driven/TPMS structures one can enter cell size and wall thickness. I wanted to measure the pore size and realized that the in the process of creation defined wall thickness isn’t the same as the resulting CAD strucuture. As an example I created a Schwarz primitive lattice structure with cell size of 2mm x 2mm x 2mm and a wall thickness of 0.25mm, but when I measure the wall thickness after creating the lattice feature, its not the same as the inputted parameter (I measured ~0.47mm). I have attached a few Screenshots to make my issue more understandable. You’ll see a part of a paper where it shows how the wall thickness is measured and pictures of the resulting parameters of the previousely mentioned model. Creo Parametric post lattice definition measurements methodology to measure wall thickness according to lite

Hi,from time to time there is the question on how to add a second nut in IFX. Well, by default this is not possible. But you can use the following workaround.Update 2026 May: We have a new enhancement for Intelligent Fastener. A third washers and a second nut is now available Follow the links for more detail: Additional Washer and Nut for IFX Additional Washer and Nut for IFX - Tips & Tricks Availability Creo Parametric 13.0 – IFX 13.4.0.0 Creo Parametric 12.4 – IFX 12.4.4.0 Creo Parametric 11.0 – IFX 11.0.9.0 Creo Parametric 10.0 – IFX 10.0.11.0 WorkaroundI will explain it by using the IFX nut ISO4032-6. Copy the file ISO4032-6.dat and rename it to ISO4032-6_as_washer.dat. Open the file and change NUTTYPE 1 to WASHERTYPE 21 Change the  columns in the file like shown in the image Finally the file should look like this Add a new icon for you new nut. Size should be 32x16 pixel. Now add this new nut to your catalog. I have added it to the mm catalog to a new group 'second_nut

Creo Parametric 2.0   I am trying to reuse the explode states I defined in my sub assemblies when exploding the top level assy.  I thought there was a way to do so, but I can't remember how or I'm mistaken.  I may be thinking of style states.  A year away from Creo has taken its toll on my memory of some functions.   Thanks.   (Interestingly, when searching I discovered that I had asked this before, almost 10 years ago, evidently with no response. That or the response was lost in one of the great community migrations of old. 😁)

Hi, I would like to export automatically generated rigid bodies from CREO Mechanism.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 3.0 and DatecodeF000 We need creo 3.0 Setup , because our machine support creo 3 only, kindly give setup file for creo3.0

Hi everyone,I am looking for an API for "copy geometry" command and "intersect" command in toolkit.If its there can you help me with that.

Hallo,When I found a product code for license identification?

Hi @OliverGräbner I would like to create a fastener library compatible with the IFX module.First, I am trying to link an existing family table with the keyword FAMTABLE.To do this, I have created a .dat file, as shown belowSCREWTYPE 1UNIT MMSURFACE 49AXIS 82CBSCR DIN974-1 R1INFO <Screw_test>!Enter the name of the Family Table Part!---------------------------------------FAMPRT VIS_CHC_INOX_JYSYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG PINSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P#FAMTAB M<DN> d4 d6 d15 d17 d5 d7 d16 @pas My family table contains several instances using an item code for each instance.When I launch IFX, the thread box remains empty and I cannot choose a screw size.I also get the following error message:No valid data foundDN Vis_chc_inox_jy.datI think I have a problem with the STRING box in my .dat file.I tried with a family table with two instances and simpler file names, but nothing changed.I looked at all the posts, but none of them answered my question.Could you

Hi Team,Looking for suggestions. We have limited Creo Parametric licenses (PROE_DesignAdvP T3 and PROE_DesignAdv T2). Is it possible to control license selection via the Creo launch .bat file so it checks FlexNet availability and automatically switches to the next available license if the preferred one is fully consumed?I’ve tried using lmutil lmstat in the batch file to check license usage. it checks the license count then close the launcher bat. i tried different codes but it is still bypassing the license count check. Please advise if this approach is supported or if there’s a recommended method.I included this block in my bat file.!--scriptorstartfragment-->SET LMUTIL="C:\ptc\Creo 10.0.8.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj\lmutil.exe"SET LICENSE_SERVER=7788@license01.au.lmco.com "%LMUTIL%" lmstat -f PROE_DesignAdv -c %LICENSE_SERVER% > "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" 2>&1 FINDSTR /I /C:"Licensed number of users already reached" "%TEMP%\lmstat_pro.txt" >nul ^&& (    ECHO -

By default, the UN Hole Sizes in Creo 10 go up to 1½ - 6.  We deal with larger holes quite often.  How can this be changed so that UN Hole Size options are available up to 2 ½?Thank you! 

Hi everyone,I am facing a problem to override the dimension value, I have created an dimension using ProDrawingDimensionCreate().And now I want to edit that dimension value through toolkit itself, manually we do it with using an option in drawing window called “override value of dimension”.But I am unable to do it with toolkit using API.Can anyone please help me by providing the solution.

Please, does anybody have an idea how to output the “strain energy per unit area” to report file for all of calculated prestressed modal modes? Or another way how to see the one area integrated number of N/mm separately for all of modal modes?Thx for support

Weld symbol for ISO standard in Creo 12.4 is supporting ISO2553:1984, acc to PTC Help and the PTC articles CS465068 & CS303110.This creates huge problems for companies that must be certified against ISO 3834-2. Which is applicable for example for companies with in the nuclear power industry. This companies are now forced to either create new custom symbols, (Which is quite complicated) or to make “fake” the symbols on the drawing adding lines and text manually.I suggest that the weld ISO weld symbols are updated acc. to latest ISO 2553 standard, that would be the one from 2019, Edition 5.

Creo has neat functionality in the restricted parameter list.  Creo also has nice functionality in that you can import an .xml file to add parameters to a Model.  It would appear that these two do not play well together. I am trying to update legacy models that have missing parameters and my .xml import was working wonderfully until I updated my restricted parameter.lst file.   I get this message:   Is there any way to make the import work?  Is it a matter of my restrictions in my .lst not EXACTLY matching what I have in the .xml?

HiI am on Creo 10.0.9.0As detailed in the picture below, as I increase the value of the Transparency, opacity increases. Shouldn't it be named to Fill Opacity instead of Fill Transparency?Hope I am not missing anything.

Hello,I want to use Creo for simulations, but I can't access the simulation interface.The button under Application > Simulate is grayed out. The Flow and Mold Analysis buttons are both in color, even though I don’t have a license for Flow Analysis and can’t access the Flow environment.Is this due to the graphics card’s RAM, which is sufficient but not recommended or because the A400 isn't supported?Thank in advance The Hardware Check reports:Your hardware is not qualified for Creo Simulation LiveYour graphic card (GPU) is a supported NVIDIA CUDA based card. However GPU does not have enough video RAM to optimally support Creo Simulation Live.Creo Simulation Live relies on the latest graphics processing unit technology to provide its computation and visual experience and requires the following:A dedicated NVIDIA graphics processing unit card (Quadro recommended) based on the Kepler, Maxwell, or Pascal architecture. Most dedicated NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit cards produced in 2013

 Hello,I am trying to simulate a press-fit snap feature for validation, however when I run the simulation I get the error “Run completed with fatal error”.Following parameters are set:Mesh:Component-component interface (contact), assumed 0 friction (also attempted surface-surface contact with 0.2 COF) Mesh on both parts with 1mm localized elements on snap-features (tetrahedral)Constraints:Prescribed 3mm movement in +Z direction on Part A (to push part A onto part B), fixed in X and Y direction Part B constrained in XYZ directionMaterial Assignments:“Part A” Full-hard stainless steel “Part B” Xantar 22R (PC)Analysis Settings:   Section view of snap fit Can anyone assist? Many thanks.

I finally got permission and funding from Da Boss to go this year.  Who else is going?  If you are, want to schedule a meetup during one of the days?

Hello,Like it says in the title, while placing/replacing a component inside the assembly, the 3D display dragger is not shown despite the fact that the option to show the dragger is selected. Does anyone know what could be the issue. This problem occured when I tried opening the separate component display window. 

Hello, I would like to ask if there is any way how to find out in which assemblies is used one particular part. We have a large folder with several similar assemblies. Then there are two versions of similar part, for example. If I open all the assemblies at first, so they are loaded in session memory, I can use reference viewer to find out where is this particular part used. But is there any way how to do this without opening a large number of assemblies? Hope my question is understandable, thanks for replies.

I want to know which axis this part can move towards after I cooperate with the constraints. Can this be obtained 

Is there a way in Creo Parametric to adjust splines with drag handles, like in Solidworks?I am trying to replicate a part from Solidworks, but I cant get the splines to behave just like in the Solidworks part. I’ve noticed that in the Solidworks feature the splines have ben drawn by draging the lines to the desired position. 

When going to a part, right mouse click > Compare to Part structure, Compare to CAD structure.I'm missing the expand all button, how and where can i enable this button. Documentation says it should be there, i suspect it's been disabled in the past due to performance considerations. Can anyone confirm:1- Does this window have an expand all button,  Compare to Part structure, Compare to CAD structure.2- Where can i find the config settings to change this? Thanks. 

I am trying to create a flushed flange which goes around the boundary of a sheet metal part. When I try doing this with the flushed flange feature I run into a feature failed to regenerate error. I have tried the one by one standard chain, rule based partial loop/complete loop chains but nothing seems to work. Attached is the part I am trying to work on with the 8.4mm flushed flange and the corner cut at the edge Q.
