Creo+ and Creo Parametric

To create a BOM in a detailed drawing you use a parametric table called a repeat region.  From what I have read, using MBD  the BOM should be attached to the assembly in some way as an annotation maybe.   Anyone have any comments on this ???  Maybe I'm missing something or we are not there yet in creo 9  thoughts?   Maybe I need to join the MBD technical committee  😉  Bart BrejchaDesign-engine.com

Hi everyone, I'm curious if Creo Parametric supports hiding datum points based on the orientation of a solid body to the current display view. In short, if I have a field of datum points on one side of a solid body, then rotate the solid body such that the body would occlude my vision of those points - could Creo be configured to hide those points? The reason I would like this functionality, is that it can help with visual orientation of the part. Consider the image below - I have a feature of datum points one side of the part.Orientation 1Currently, if I rotate to the part to the orientation shown in the next image below, I will still see the datum points.Ideally, I want is shown in the final image below, which will hide the points when I rotate to a view where the points would be hidden (like the smiley face sketch). (NOTE: I'm currently disabling the display of all datum points in this image). If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you all.

Hello Everyone,In a mechanism (no resistive forces other loads), if I provide a servo motor to a rotating link, it behaves as expected where very minimal forces are generated in links and I believe servo motor just gives enough power/velocity to cause motion. So If i put a measure for reaction forces at various links, the force values are very less. However, If i replace the servo with a finite value torque motor, reaction forces (equivalent in the order of a static case) are generated in the links even when there are no other resistive forces.  I would be much obliged if anyone could explain the above. Thanks in advance

Hi,I am not familiar with the Meccanism module, so I ask for your patience.I applied a motor to a rotating body by defining the trend in a table:Still from the engine definition tab, I see its graph and so far everything is ok.My problem appears when I ask the program to detect the measurement of the motor speed in a kinematic analysis, I get this result. I would have expected to obtain a graph similar to that of the engine and instead they are different, why? Thank you.P.S. I'm using creo 9.0.0.0

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.2.0I have a weird problem with a Creo PC. Let me explain:the PC in question (PC0008) has installed Creo 6.0.2.0, and 2 license :one fixed for Creo Parametricand one floating for the machining Option (we have 2 CAM licenses installed on the license server).However, the PC takes both licenses from the server and since on the server we only have 2 floating licenses for the CAD, it often gives the message that the license is not present and close.until a few months ago everything worked correctly, but now I have been told that it loses the license so I checked and I see that it also takes the PROE_Essentials license from the license server ignoring the locally installed licenseP.S. Since the Machining Option licenses are used only by 2 PCs and no one else, wouldn't it be possible to change these 2 licenses so that they can be assigned and installed directly on the machines concerned?

I have a sinusoidal mechanism I am trying to simulate.  I can get the kinematics to work fine by using two mechanism constraints: the first being a cylinder connection which controls the axis and angle of my assembly.  Then I projected a circular sketch onto the sinusoidal surface and used a slot constraint where a point follows the projected curve.  A spring keeps these two surfaces in contact.  In the video I can have the structure swing back and force indefinitely due to the force of the spring.  There is no friction in the system yet.  I would like to have the two surfaces generate friction to eventually damp the system to 0.  Is this possible?  I haven't had any luck with either cam or 3D contacts.  (view in My Videos)

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 6.0 (connected) 6.0 6.0.4.0Y-201-31-0209_CL_PIPING.ASM is locked in the workspace,but it will show "modified in session" in the server status column,please see the attached screenshot.would you please check if there is a problem with status?

Hi Is there a way to lock joints temporarily when dragging components. 

Is there any way you can make a block or symbol on a drw and then have the user be able to click that block and have the users go to a Windchill object? We have these P&IDs with a bunch of symbols on them that link to objects in Windchill.  We want the user to be able to click on P&ID and go to the object page.  Anyone have any solution suggestions? Thanks, Kenny. 

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.6.01. CCX, which creates the necessary cross section while running CCX and viewing the analysis results, is terminated.

I have a part model that has part level parameters that seemingly impossible to delete: The issue seems to be because they were once used in a sketch feature to drive a text label I've deleted all the features in the part and yet these parameters persist.   Did anyone encounter this kind of a situation and what was your work-around?

Hi,I would like to know if there is any approach generate this geometry just redefining a feature curve end getting this geometry (see OK.png) The idea is adjusting this sketch curve the solid geometry to be update, but I was not able to achieve it just changing the feature curve. I'm able to generate this geometry (see NOT OK.png), but I don't need the round ends. I was thinking if there is any flexible modeling feature or any approach to remove the round ends. Thx,CC 

I am attempting to add a marker on a pre-defined cable assembly. The part is in assembly mode, and I am unable to open the cable assembly separately. I see online that I am supposed to use a marker.  To Apply Marker to a Cable1.Click Cosmetics > Marker.The Marker tab opens.2.Select a segment of the marker.3.To accept the default length, diameter and thickness click the check mark. 4.The marker is created with the default values and the tab is closed automatically. I cannot find the 'cosmetics' icon to create the marker while in assembly mode. Can anyone help direct me? 

Hi, I am a secondary teacher I am using Creo parametric 7.02 and there seems to be an issue in the render studio. When editing a material I alter it in terms of rotation or scale and then when it’s rendered it changes and isn’t what I have set up. Has a anyone else had that issue or can you give me any advice.

Hello, ProGtoldataPlacementGet is deprecated in Creo 9 and it says that it was superseded by ProGtolAttachGet. One of the fields that ProGtoldataPlacementGet would retrieve is the ProGtolPlacementType which is the field that I need. Is there another way to get the ProGtolPlacementType, or do I have to convert the switch cases I have over to the ProGtolAttachType instead? Thanks,Mark

I have a very annoying problem that I have just recently discovered in my FEA models. The issue appears to be present in an older version of Creo 2.0 and an a newer version of Creo 7.0 and it has taken me countless hours of frustration and failed meshing to figure it out. For some reason I can take a model where all my pinned joints are perfectly aligned (this can be verified by checking with the measure tool) and import them into Simulate only to have them shift ever so slightly (like 0.00003mm misaligned). The problem is that the shift is just enough to prevent AutoGEM from meshing the parts and no amount of reconstraining or regenerating the parts will fix the misalignment. Generally the only way to fix the problem is to close out everything and reopen the models and try meshing again. This is incredibly frustrating and wastes a significant amount of time. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi all Sometimes, my users doesn't defined clealy their kinematic links.They forget to put a regen value and active it.... I activate the MECH_COMPONENTS and set it to W in interact, but when i test it, MC only show me the parts with kinematic links even they are completetly defined. Can i set ModelCheck to control the correct definition? Regards Dom

From what I can tell, if I want to change the model representation (using a simplified rep) that is used in a view and a repeat region BOM, one must change them both separately. Either one is changed/switched, the dwg deletes all the attachments and balloons that have been organized to each component, and this is regardless of which one is done first. Does anyone know how to swap both the view and the Repeat Region Representations so that the balloons and attachments for the remaining components (the ones not excluded by the simp. rep.) are not lost?

As per this thread - same issue   Good afternoon, Sorry to reopen this old post but it is related. I'm trying to open a drw via Jlink, it works correctly BUT it don't open the window with the various sheets this: Instead of this:   Anybody has some hints?   Thanks in advance.

I need to support two licence files (different companies) on the same server.  Its easy enough to set the ports to different numbers, but ptc_d insists on creating lockptc_d in /var/tmp.  Setting TMPDIR doesn't seem to help.   Does anyone know a way (or an environment variable) to force it to create its lockfile elsewhere?   The issue is that when starting the second server, it can't open the lockfile and then dies. Thanks, 

I am implementing a material nonlinear simulation for an aluminum tube. I fixed an end of the tube and used displacement constraint to another end.The ultimate stress of the material is 440MPa. What simulation or how to set up parameter to measure the moving constraint when the ultimate stress reaches exactly 440Mpa?   

Hello, I'm trying to make a stack in Creo, but the button to start printing is disabled.  USB is currently connected.  Is it a problem that requires a separate license? Or is there another problem?   Thank you.

Dear PTC Community,maybe this is trivial, anyway I ask: how to do left-handed threads in PTC Creo Parametric 9.0?Thank you for your cooperation Stefano Cristofanelli
