Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I have created a fastener in an assembly and ran the static analysis. I got the output of the shear force and Axial force as follows.      Fastener1_axial_stress:      3.026563e+03     Fastener1_bending_moment:    8.841788e+06     Fastener1_bending_stress:    6.871864e+03     Fastener1_shear_force:       1.125990e+05     Fastener1_shear_stress:      2.579097e+02     Fastener1_torsion_moment:    7.846665e+02     Fastener1_torsion_stress:    3.049226e-01Fastener shear force value I want to know which plane force is that. If we do beam or spring approach we get the Shear in Plane 1 and Plane 2. But here shear force on the fastener is only one value. How to understand this ?  

Is there a way to set default sketcher preferences for drawings? I want it to automatically allow horizontal/vertical snapping. I could not find any options for it. I found an article from 2016 about this stating that it was not a functionality of Creo Parametric, but was "reported as a product idea." That's the only information I can seem to find. It does not appear they ever did anything with this. Currently using Creo Parametric 7.0.5.0.   Article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS69992          

Is there any documentation on the syntax for *.PSF and *.PRO file (eg: syntax for comment out line, etc) ?  For PSF file, i always  under the assumption that // is used to comment out a line.However, i notice that if i change the first line // PTC - PSF file: parametric to something like // PTC - PSF file: parametric2, the PSF file will no longer work.      

Hi, I am trying to fix this regeneration issue where a copied geometry from a skeleton is to be solidified. This is what I am getting:What could the solution to fix this?  

Our drawings have as a standard drawing view boundary type set to "circle". See below.Our old drawings are like below. Does anyone know how we can make the circle display like this in phantom line style?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

 Hi.... While importing any neutral format parts (parasolid,stp,igs etc.. ) i am facing an issue import validation failure and my part file converted as a solid file. Why the creo can't heal the surfaces automatically. and even i create a step file by creo and again i tried to open that file in the same creo software but i am facing the same issue.              Note: Already the part is accepted as a solid part by creo but i try to save as a step and tried to open again in the same part in the same creo. Why it converted as error surface body?? Please give me a proper solution for this. I spent a lot of time on repairing the file by IDD but i Cant Please give any automatic solution if have.  Thankyou  Ramaniedharan RDesigner-Plastic 

Hello, I am attempting to add the "use_inverted_mousewheel_zoom" to my config.pro file in Creo Parametric 4.0. To do so I click, "add" then find that option and press ok. It appears in my config.pro file with a star next to it. When I close out of my config.pro and open it again, the addition disappears. I found from a different article that the star is config.pro saying "Newly added option and not applied". How do I go about saving the addition to my config.pro or rather, how do I apply the change? Picture linked below. 

Hi........ While importing the step of large assembly i see this error, then my creo closed completely what is the meaning of this error?   Plz Help ....   Ramaniedharan R 

Does anyone have any good experiences using the "Find/Search" function within Creo Drawing?I'm currently trying to use it and I realize it sucks pretty bad. I'm thinking it must of been designed by Microsoft.Anyway, I've got a drawing with multiple sheets of tables on it and I'm trying to do a "text" search to find specific things within those sheets of tables but to no avail. See attachment. -CR   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.1.0Having some issues making a new drawing format. I've finished it but don't know how to export and make it ready for use since I can't find it when I try to open it when creating a drawing. Also having some issues getting a logo into the drawing format, gives me an error with DXF, and it seems the log hasn't been created.Here are the errors that I facedInvalid DXF file. See file dxf_errs.log.

Creo 8.0.1.0 version. I am looking for a way to automate every step in the generation of the mass report in Creo. Ideally an external script would communicate with Creo to obtain available workspaces which I then select along with the assembly file and Simple Rep I would like to chose. The script would then generate the mass report and then the user grabs the output.  I have a working Mapkey that does the mass report steps but the interrogation of the data in Creo to be used by an external script is something that I have not tried to do and have seen little to no documentation.      

Hello, I am trying to merge two quilts ( quilts are defined fully and are not merged prior). But I keep getting the regen error regardless of direction and sequence of quilts. When I compare it with original model, the arrow (highlighted in blue) is at the bottom of quilt instead on the side. Does this affect the merging of quilts? How can I change the location of arrows to the bottom of the quilt if that helps? Any other feedbacks are highly appreciated.   

Hi all!I have a question...Is possible to simulate a "reciprocating rack and pinion mechanism" usin Creo Mechanism?Something likek this Thanks in advanceStefano   

Hello.Currently, I'm trying to insert inside my Creo Mechanism Analysis the effects of lateral wind. For this I would like to use a force so I can easily turn on and off for each analysis.Would be nice to have it calculated using the cross-sectional area of the component multiplied by a constant Q (N/mm²).How can I make available this measure of area (mm²) to the User Defined variables list?  

Can anyone tell me how I can Export the parameter table in .xml format? I only have the option for .csv and .txt. I know you can export to .xml because I have done it before, but now the option is not available.    

we are using Creo 6.0.6.0 and Windchill 11.0 M030-CPS16seeing issues with server status on "locked files" - Creo server status shows "modified in session"issue with lost symbol - PTC_COMMON_NAME in component (part) relation TITLE=PTC_COMMON_NAMEassy feature info. shows lost symbolpart file info. shows no issues any ideas why this might be happeningthanks,Rich

HI,Is there a way i can add a watermark in creo drawing ? 

Can someone help me with the Regeneration Failure?   KE 239 interrupts group starting with KE 226    

After going through the different options in config.pro, the one option that keeps giving me issues is the "trail_dir" setting. I have tried setting it to $TEMP, AppData/Local/Temp, as well as other (non-read-write protected) directories, and no matter what directory I try it always keeps saving the trail files in the current working directory. I have tried this setting in both the config.pro file in Program Files/PTC/Creo/Common Files/text as well as my user directory, and neither of those seem to work either. This issue is has been a big headache for my team as we're trying to prevent our CAD directories from getting clogged up with these trail files, and it would be really nice to have them automatically created somewhere else. For reference, I'm using Creo version 9.0.0.0. Thanks! 

Hello members, I have an inexplicable phenomenon. My VBA tool runs perfectly on 4 computers, with one PC I get the message: Process Fails: Unknown error occurred. Error No: 48 Error: Error loading a DLL" The connection to Creo works, the message only appears when a procedure is called. Dim startLevel As New Cintseq Set gAllAsmbls = New Collection Set gUsedAsm = assemblyIn Call listSubAsmComponents(startLevel) '<-- here comes the error message Set collectEachAsblyComponentPath = gAllAsmbls" It's probably because of the Cintseq!? Other subs that don't have Cintseq run on Creo. Does anyone have any advice on this? --------------------------------------- Translated text from German to English using google translate.

Creo Parametric: Multibody Home --  Start Here!   I'm creating this blog to be the central home page for anyone interested in trying out the new capabilities first introduced in Creo 7.0  that support multibody design. Below will be links to other blog posts on specific detailed topics under the general heading of multibody. I'm interested in getting your feedback on all the new stuff, but I also want to try to do this in a somewhat organized fashion. So, you can think of this blog as the top node of a tree that will have a number of branches below it for the various multibody related topics.   In parallel to the list of blog posts below, I also plan to maintain a Multibody Infos post that provides you with links to further information, documentation, presentations, and any other information bits and pieces around multibody design in Creo. To get going effectively, I encourage you to first go through the What’s new material and tutorials that you find there, so

  Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #14 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about the use of the “Intersect” Feature to create the intersection curve between two bodies (or quilts) You might remember that Creo 7.0 introduced Boolean Operations to perform merge, subtract and intersect operations between bodies. These operations act upon a “target” body which is modified during the Boolean operation. The resulting object there is still a body. In order to create an intersection curve, we therefore cannot use the Body Boolean operations feature, but will use the “Intersect” feature within the “Editing” group.   Starting with Creo 7.0, this “Intersect” feature allows to select bodies as references.In this first example, we select Body 1 (yellow box) and Body  (grey cylinder) and get the full intersection curve as a result. This is illustrated in the image below. (Result is shown in small overlay image)   Note that you could also select just a

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #20 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about illustrating a use case around geometry re-use that became enabled with the new appearance (and reference) propagations in Creo 10.0’s Body Boolean and Split Body features.  (see Multibody: Appearance and Reference Propagation for Boolean Operations (ptc.com) )  In essence we added two new options to Body Booleans as shown in the image below.   Those options allow you to control color propagation and reference propagation. That means for the below example, that when you subtract the orange and white bodies from the green eyelet part, we can propagate the color to the corresponding mating cut faces, and transfer references from the original to the new surfaces, so that for the attached annotations automatically move to the cut surfaces.       So, what is this good for? An example use case for this might be a scenario where you have standardized cut-out
