Creo+ and Creo Parametric

I am trying to set up a CFD analysis where a fan is blowing air through a radiator. I don't know the exact geometry of either the fan or the radiator but I know the general size and I have charts to tell me how much pressure drop to expect on the radiator and pressure gain from the fan. Can anyone help to tell me how to set that up in Live Simulation? See the attached picture as a reference.  I have tried to enter a positive pressure on the outlet side of the fan and then measuring (with a probe) the pressure on the surface of the radiator in front of it. Then I take that measured pressure value on the incoming side of the radiator and enter it as inlet pressure. Since in know the pressure drop from the chart, I enter a lesser value on the outlet side mimicking a pressure drop. Am I on the right track or is there a better way to set that up?Thanks!Creo 12

I'm putting a captive screw with compression spring in one of my assemblies. The coil spring doesn't have any 'cylindrical' features or surfaces. I made a central axis, but when I try to constrain the Spring Axis to the bolt cylinder surface, it places the axis coincident/tangent to the surface, not concentric. I always have the option to constrain Front & Right planes, but I would like to figure out how to get concentric mates with an axis.

Hello all, since there is no direct way of creating negative volume of a part (at least as far as I know-being relative rookie) I wonder if there is any, still relatively quick, way of doing that in Creo 10. With that I have in mind Ansys Space Claim 3D modeller where it is possible to close the model with planes and create volume inside of complex geometry and these defined planes. I would want a volume of water that fills inside of a turbine rotor.  Thank you for your comments, suggestions...Best regards!

I referred to some answers.manually created 3D annotation place flat to screen using Creo's note function;CS153536 - Leader line is not showing for flat to screen annotation feature in Creo ParametricNew to Creo need help with text - PTC Communitythe annotation is placed flush with the screen in the model viewer and its position rotates around the model.How can I achieve the same effect generically via the Toolkit API?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.0.0在一个零件中，如何将一条曲线的局部线段进行复制，并使生成一个复制曲线的端点与两个坐标点重合

According to the PTC documentation, this is supported. I am not able to get this to work in Creo 7, 9 , or 10. Is anyone able to confirm that loading a light file works for them? It is possible my light files are corrupted in some way, if someone has a sample light file they can post here, I will try it. I have included one of my .lgh files for reference.

Hello eveyone, I am currently using the Creo Parametric Educational version 12.4.0.0, more specifically the "Generative Design" tool but without the Generative Design Extension (GDX). What element type or meshing is used by the software/tool? The answer would help me to compare my optimized model design with results from an external FEM software. 

Hello, I try to output my fixture offsets with a fil macro given by KenFarley on an other topic but when i try : CIMFIL/ON,SET,OFSETLOFSTYP=POSTF(6,5)OFSREG=POSTF(7,5)IF(OFSTYP.EQ.1)THENIF(OFSREG.GE.54.AND.OFSREG.LE.59)THEN$$CURREG=OFSREGOFSCMD = TEXT/'G90 G',CONVI,OFSREG,2,';'INSERT/ OFSCMDENDIFENDIFCIMFIL/OFF On my machine file i have : ...N0054 ( / SEQUENCE TYPE : PROFILE MILLING);N0056G90G55;N0058 G0 Y5.232;... No spaces before G90 and between G90 and G55.What is the command for output spaces ? Thanks in advance.

We are currently running Creo 12.4.1.0 and we are seeing some odd behavior that I am trying to resolve. When performing certain (seeming unrelated) actions like opening the File-options window or adding a new view in a drawing there is a 10-15 second delay where Creo freezes before performing the requested task. The issue is consistent in that it occurs on the same handful of tasks but oddly not every time we perform them. We saw this same behavior in Creo 4.0 before our upgrade which leads me to believe it is caused by an external factor. My current theory is that our antivirus software (Checkpoint) is checking or scanning some Creo related file or service causing the delay. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior and if so how did you resolve it? If it is the antivirus software, is there a recommended file or service whitelist?  

What is the best way to route cabling? P clips assembly first and then route thru them or any other ideas? Please suggest. See image 

Hi, I need to split a ncl file by machining duration to calibrate the tool before resuming the path.Thanks,Federico

Hello All, We have a Haas VF-2 with a Haas HRT210 rotary. I'm machining a block on 4 sides (AO, A90, A180, A270). Working off centerline of the rotary. The problem is that the posed gcode creates A0 and A180 in the correct orientation but A90 and A270 are flipped. In the attached picture specifically (WCS.jpg) depicts how I have the coordinates set up A0 being the top of the part (the face with the cbores).  A270 being the flat face in picture WCS_A270.jpg. Has anyone ran into this problem? Can this be fixed in the post processor application within creo? Thanks,Jostan

Hello. We got a Tormach 1100mx at our work and we use CREO 7.0 for our CAD/CAM. Unfortunately, I could not find a post processor for the Pathpilot on PTC's website. I am wondering if there is a post processor somewhere out there, or do I have to make my own Post processor. Thanks!

How can I define the length of a flange like this in Creo?  Offsetting its distance like this in SE 

Creo10 Pro/Toolkit Cabling development issue.I am trying to route wires through a point location starting from a connector side. I created the ProRouting data for each wire. And use following code to route all of them through a point location one by one.for (int j = 0; j < cablenum; j++){...err2 = ProCablelocationrefAlloc(PRO_LOC_POINT, sel_array_route, PRO_B_TRUE, offset, &cablelocationref);err3 = ProCableThruLocationRoute(cable_route_data_arr[j], cablelocationref, &tpm_loc, &second_location);...}But the CAD shows all wires are interfered and concentrating in the point as the left pic shown.What I want is including all the wires in the point with the blue points like the right pic shown. Is there anybody know how to achieve this by the Pro/Toolkit code? Million thanks to this.

Bonjour,Dans Creo Parametric 10, je souhaite créer une numérotation d'arborescence multiniveau dans une table.

I see there is a Progress bar component in Creo UI editor.1. Is it possible to have something like a progress circle in Creo UI editor?2. Or a custom gif that we could display to accomplish showing an in-progress operation?cc @GS_14113977 

Hi everyone,I’m working with a sheet metal part in Creo 9.0.10.0 that comes off the roll as a single sheet. It is then bent and cut into left and right terminals. I’m trying to unbend these two distinct pieces in one flat pattern but it fails with "Recommended actions: Merge all highlighted distinct pieces to the model."I came across an article in the PTC Help Center that mentions using distinct areas or disjoint volumes, but it’s very vague. The article doesn’t include any images or step-by-step instructions, so I’m not sure how to apply this technique to my situation. (if it even applies) Has anyone encountered this issue or figured out how to do this?I also see that you can turn distinct pieces into separate models but I'm not interested in this approach. I would like to use flat reps if possible. Attached is a screenshot of a  dummy part I made without IP.

As at least until Creo Parametric 11.0.6.0 when making a cut while using extrude or hole (and several other things that cut through geometry) the default is "Blind" and then with some random depth.It would be far more confienient when this is "Through all" by default. This also solves that much engineers do not take the effort to set the depth to through all so the end of the cutout is somewhere outside the geometry (as shown below)  So make a config.pro option tho set the default to "Through all" for at least the cases shown below.   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.1.0Our customer imports a DXF file into Creo. Because this DXF contains many entities/lines, the model becomes laggy when they try to rebuild the sketch after import. The customer's workstation is high-end (32 GB RAM, 16-core CPU, 6 GB GPU), yet the performance is still slow. Could you please advise whether they need to increase hardware specs, or how best to process/clean the DXF file for better performance?

Hi,I have 100 part numbers , in which the drawing has to be opened from windchill into creo session and it should run a particular already recorded map key then it should save back into the workspace or windchill check in , When i tried running the dbatch program in native creo, it says license error. My company has customized tools inside creo and its based on floating license i guess. So is there any ways i can link that creo to the dbatch script or i should go with toolkit api commands or trail_file based scripting ?Does these methods other than dbatch have option to run in background or while the system is ideal (after working hours or scheduled time).   

Hi All, I have a fairly simple question I hope, but for some reason can't figure it out myself.When I run a simulate analyses on the shaft below I'm reading much higher stress results than what I calculate by hand. But when I run the same analyses on a beam section the results are lower than the hand calculation. For this reason I'm not feeling very confident on the results at the moment. The situation is as followed:The shaft has fixed displacement contraints on the pink surfaces with all rotational movements "free" and also axial movement free. On both outer ends I have placed a planar contraint to make it "fully contraint".The load is a radial bearing load on the green section. The situation can be compared to the fin of a bow-shackle.  Below the results of this analysis. And this is the beam analysis:And the results. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for the help!

We are working on building a Creo application using Object Toolkit Java.One usecase of our application is to execute tasks in background (such as authentication flow, upload opened model) while displaying progress (using animated gifs) on the custom UI created using Creo UI editor. As per our observation, whenever we start a task in background by creating a new Thread in Java, it blocks the currently open UI dialog i.e the UI dialog completely freezes and doesn't display anything.The result is same for all modality types for a dialog - MODAL, MODELESS and WORKING. Sample code snippet: uifcComponent.CreateDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG); uifcDialog.DialogFind(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG).SetModality(DialogStyle.DIALOG_STYLE_WORKING); uifcComponent.ActivateDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG); Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(() -> { // Background tasks // Destroy dialog once background task is complete uifcComponent.DestroyDialog(UPLOAD_DIALOG, UPLOAD_DIALOG); }, "threa
