Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM100When opening a .stp file from a trusted source, I get a fatal error with a traceback log and then Creo closes.Here are the errors that I facedFatal error encountered. A traceback has been written to C:\PTC_User_Data\michael.baumgarten\traceback.logPlease send it to Technical Support.

Hello everyone,  I need a small information from your side. As i am performing modal analysis for my structure. My geometry is very simple made up of granite material. I would like to describe my problem in points, that would be easy to unterstand,  1. Firstly, i did the static analysis of my structure, where the outcome was acceptable. I mean to say the deformation (0.00155mm) and the stress (1.004Mpa) were under the limit.  2. Then i performed the modal analysis of my structure with same constraint and load collector, where i have selected 6 eigen mode. After the analysis I got the E1 (507.741Hz) to E6 (1358.87Hz) value.  3. Can someone explain me how to read the modal analysis results, because at each eigen value the results getting changed. Also, should I consider the deformation and the stress value from the modal analysis? Because compare to the static analysis their values are very high.  I would appreciate if anyone have a look on this concern. Thanks S

How to merge reference BOM Balloons in Creo   

Possibility to change units of flow value. Example: to have pressure in MPa and not in Pa

Hi,  I'm trying to create a sheet metal part like this from 2mm stainless steel, but I'm having problem with the last step which is unbending the part.   I get the troubleshoot message:  "highlighted sharp corners cannot be unbent. Recommended actions: Change the corresponding bend radius to a value greater than zero. If bend is not defined, add an edge bend." I've searched for this problem in the forum but cant find anything similar.  I've tried the following.- checked that the sketches have tangent between lines and curves to not have sharp edges- radius is same in the two sketches to have a consistent bend radius- experimented with using thinner material, different radii of the bends and the circular part and the corner part. longer straight lines in the circular sketch, etc. - tried creating the part in another way by creating a swept blend surface in part modeling and then offsetting the part in sheetmetal. - tried using

in the attached pics you can find the drawing done on another software using for loop, how to implement that on Creo, and is that possible to do using for loop in the parametric drawings?I need to draw this marker on each slot and it should be all the time upward (circle with a line getting from with 90 degrees wrt x-axis) as shown in the pics any help or tips would be so appreciated

I have a few instances in my code where I have a UI tree that is longer than the height of the screen and I want to scroll to a specific position.One example is when i select a tree node using ProUITreeSelectednamesSet (or otk equivalent) I want the scroll position to be set so that the selected node is visible without needing to scroll down manually and search for the highlighted node.Another example is setting the scroll position to the top after a node is added because the default seems to be to scroll to the bottom of the tree.  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0Threaded holes are automatically placed on our DTM_AXIS and HOLE_AXIS layers. Our policy is to have all layers turned off when the drawing is complete. This layers off the cosmetic threads. Removing these axes from the layers reinstates them in the drawing.So I guess the solution is to not have these on a layer in the first place. How do we stop just the hole axes from being added to a layer in the first place or is there a better way to handle this situation? Kind regards Greg

How to draw a Squircle shaped cylinder in creo.    

Hi all, Using Creo 4.0  I would like to ask some advice about how you would constrain this (red brownish) U shaped bracket for the shown load situation.  The bracket has 2 holes with a pin in it (so it can rotate). Both holes are loaded with force F/2.Force F is applied on a bolt that is placed in a screwthreaded hole in the bracket. I have modeled the bracket like this:For the pin hole, I use a bearing load with force F/2. I use a displacement constrain to implement symmetry on the cutting surface: I use a surface region to constrain in the axial direction of the screw hole. (cylindrical CS). This model calculates fine, but as can be expected, I have a stress peak at the side of the surface region.Not sure if that is entirely realistic. A slightly different approach is to exchange the screw hole by an 'embedded' bolt, and constrain the tip of the 'bolt': This results in a (lower) stress peak at the indicated spot below. Perhaps a

Is it possible to point deployments at a central, config.pro file? Currently we'd overwrite the local version on the computer if a change was needed, but can it instead point to a version say hosted on a server to read the settings? Also can you alter the settings before deployment, so the version of the  config.pro file deployed already has these changes? Thank you.

Hi,I often encounter "circular references" problems,although it can be laid aside because often this problem doesn't has fatal dangerous to my models,but the notification looks uncomfortable to me. But when I take a deep insight into this problem,I always failed to find which dependency relation is the cause,when I click to open the notification center,I only see the root node listed below "circular references(1)". So I want to ask for a method to troubleshoot this problem or any modeling principle to avoid this problem? thanks a lot.  

Hi, I know this post is old but want to understand what did it end up going with? I have 3 files.   The first is a skeleton with the dims i need to drive The next model is the cast version last is the machined version.   I need to be able to change the parameters from the skeleton model but from within the machined file.   TIA

HelloI want to know if its possible to select fictive line on 2d surface: generated with divised line ?Config option?It is only possible by copying a part of the surface With 3d curve and variable sweep its possible because creo generate a isoparam    Thank you      

Hi,Does anyone have a solution when exporting a drawing to .DXF format via Web.Link, the file name is always written in lowercase letters. How to get the file name to be written in uppercase letters. Part of the code is as follows:...var DXFOut = pfcCreate("pfcDXFExportInstructions").Create();CurModel.Export(FileName.toUpperCase(), DXFOut);...No mater what I always get filename od disk written in lowercase.,But if I export to PDF format I can get in uppercase format. Any idea, solution?    

We've created a lattice structure using the Engineering - Lattice tool by first extruding a solid and then replacing it with a lattice. Our lattice is a formula-driven gyroid with Replace body with lattice checked. When we export the part as a STL-file and try to import it in to our CAD software it fails.When checking the geometry in meshlab using Filters - Quality, Measures and Computation - Compute geometric measures we get :"Mesh is not watertight, no information on volume, barycenter and inertia tensor" Any ideas on how to proceed? PTC CREO 8.0.4.0  

Hey there. This is my very first post 🙂 I have made a drawing of a car sign. I did my best. Then I needed help to bend the sign i two directions, so I got help from a **bleep** i know who teaches in Creo. But it is not quite okay yet and I can't get in touch in the "teacher" now. Is there anyone whom I can communitate with and send the drawing to. RegardsMichael   

I have ModelCheck configured to issue an error and prevent check-in if a part does not have a parameter set to a known value or does not exist. If I create a new part and delete the parameter, ModelCheck functions as expected, and the check-in is blocked. If I have an existing part that got checked-in before I enabled the check for the parameter, it allows the check-in to go through and issues no error or warning for that file. The existing file was loaded into Windchill with the old ModelCheck rules, before I tightened them for this parameter. When running ModelCheck interactively, it still does not generate an error. MC_Verified is set to YEs from the prior check-in and we have set the value for ModelCheck hours to 100,000. Has anyone else seen this behavior before?  

I have some suppressed features in part model. I want to enable that suppressed features in assembly level. (Like simp rep). Is possible to do in part level simp rep? or other option.But I don't want to create an instance.        

These options are too short, not a complete word, and the PTC help document has no relevant explanation, I don’t know what they mean, can anyone tell me, thank you! I hope that the PTC help documentation can add explanations for all these options and sub-options. 

for an existing drawing view, i want to change its rotation of that view .   For the existing drawing sheet I want to do modification in its view orientation ,but rest over dimensions will remain unchanged (should remain same). only there shouldbe a change in view rotation & no need add or giving dimensions again from beginning.Is there any tool or feature to perform this activity ?(actually i am making a assembly drawing of a model) Plz kindly reply to this …..  

I bought a license "Creo 9.0 University Student Edition Premium License". After I configured it I still could not create Mold/Cast Cavity. What should I do then?      

Hi,I'm starting to study the creo welding module.I have a question. Is it possible to change the welding standard from ANSI to ISO in a model?I've done several searches in the guide and on the internet but I haven't found a solution.- First attempt: If I change it from the welding module preferences menu, the change does not take place. - Second attempt: It seems that the "weld_ui_standard" config option only affects new models. - Third attempt: The "weld_symbol_standard" option in the drawing options has no effect... Can anyone help me?Thank you.P.S. I use Creo 9.0.2.0.
