Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hi All, I am trying to get the outline points (bottom left & right Top points) for the Table & Note but not able to get success. Although we can get outlines for the view using 'ProDrawingViewOutlineGet' function. Anybody can help me on this. Thanks for the help.

I am using Creo Parametric 6.0 6.0.2.0How to get license usage information in a text format?I followed the procedure mentioned : Double click “ptcstatus.bat” located under C:\Program Files\PTC\FLEXnet Admin License Server\bin which shows license utilization in command prompt. Is there any way if this data can be shown a word or document format? Please suggest

Help! I'm starting to tear my hair out trying to figure out why this won't work. I've created an .xml file that I want to import from the Parameters dialogue box. I've double checked the format. If the parameter in my list doesn't already exist, the parameter is created just fine. If the parameter already exists in the part, however, I can get the file to create a Duplicate with the "_1" suffix. But when I uncheck the "Duplicate if cannot Replace" option so that it will only replace the values of existing parameters, nothing happens. It never changes the values of the parameters.  The example I have is a parameter that is simply called "N". Its value is an integer. The Designate box is unchecked. Access is Full. Source is User-Defined. The Restricted box is unchecked. There is no Unit Quantity or Unit. When I import the .xml file and click the Details... button I get the following message: The following conflicting parameters CANNOT be imported (possibly because they are used in R

Hello community,   in the context of my master thesis, I want to consider the possibilities of Creo Simulate. I know that Creo Simulate uses p-elements, whereas e.g. Abaqus uses h-elements. I also know the general principles behind the two methods, but I could not find any detailed explanation of the element formulation in Creo Simulate. So e.g.: - are p-elements basically h-elements, but only with higher polynomial order? Or is there a basic difference in the formulation of p-elements? - do the p-elements in Creo Simulate also have midside nodes? - are the elements in Creo Simulate isoparametric? - does Creo Simulate use numerical integration, calculate stresses at integration points and extrapolate them to the intersections of the plotting grid?   If you have any explanation or know a good literature, I would be thankful for your answers. Many thanks in advance.  

Hello All,   I have this situation where I create a drawing and I add a complicated geometric tolerance with text and symbols etc, which is fine and required for the design.   But when I want to add a new geometric tolerance it shows the complicated one. Meaning I have to delete all the text, symbols etc. I think Creo remembers the previous one. Is there a way that I could get a blank slate every time when I add a new geometric tolerance?   Best regards,   Vincent

Hi,   Is there a way in Creo to make a feature the same way as NPTF threads are made in the attached picture? The tool is not an ordinary threading tool with helical grooves, the spiral is instead produced by simultaneously rotating (blue) and feeding (red) the tool in the hole which is bigger than the tool. Is there a feature in Creo?I would like to make an accurate representation of a fully modeled thread for FEM analysis and “Helical Sweep” feature is not how the thread is produced. In Helical Sweep feature, the axis of the tool and the axis of the hole are the same.   Can this be done in Creo?

Hi everyone,   I am currently trying to apply a force on an assembly, a delta robot, more precisely on its end-effector. The problem is that the stress/force is not passing through the different parts. It is like if the static analysis is only considering the part I applied the force on.   I have simplified this first analysis by bounding some parts, the one that are screwed together. I have also not included the bearings for all joints, the idea was to link the parts without the bearings. For that, I have used the "Function Pin" of the constraints. The first joints of the delta robot are blocked axially and radially, then, all other joints are just blocked axially. This method works on Catia V5.   Attached to this post:   creo-study1-1 and creo-study1-2 : show the result of this wrong analysis. creo-study1-3 : shows the way I have constraint the joints, which have 2 bearings. catia-study1-1 : this is the analysis on Catia V5   Anyone can help me, please?

Hello! I use Creo 4.0 M150 and sketch is slow on the new computer (intel i7, 32Gb ram, 512gb ssd).  I use Creo 4.0 M150. New sketch contains many used edges from the assembly. Dimensions in the sketch is set for 3 seconds. What can i do to speed up work with this sketch? Everything else works quickly. Thanks

Hi, I was trying to make a simple spring mechanism for school project When creating this, I faced a problem that two pairs of dots are not simultaneously selected.As shown in the attached figure, pnt0 and pnt1 were set on the top and bottom of each part, respectively.I tried to select the other point by pressing and hold Ctrl key , but it didn't even work.How should I solve this problem? I don't know what the problem is.  

Hello Everyone,   I am trying to use spring from creo mechanism but unable to select the second point. Second point is circled with blue in attached image. Please suggest.   Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 8.0 (connected) 8.0 8.0.0.0When I am modeling a part it is rounding my dimensions to the nearest fraction. So when I type in 0.1943 it rounds it to 3/16. I looked in the configuration editor but nothing stood out.Thanks

Hello all and welcome to another blog post in the multibody series.   Today’s topic represents an add-on to the previous post : How to “position” a body. The workflow example  in the below video explains in more detail how you can leverage these (previously discussed) positioning operations  to create a design like this very easily.   he intent here is to drive the cutout of the blue body parametrically based on the defined range of angular movement of the yellow pin. The workflow example makes use of the Flexible Modeling Move feature to create something like a “simplified motion envelope” driving the cutout opening in the blue body.      (view in My Videos) Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0+ Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Hello all and welcome to another blog post in this multibody blog series. Todays topic: Construction bodies!Construction body are a pretty unique, powerful concept in Creo’s multibody implementation. As such it is really important to know about them and to understand how to use them.So, what are construction bodies? Construction bodies are bodies that are used for the design of your model, but do not contribute to the final geometry or mass. That means that similar on how you used quilts in the past to create additional geometry helping with the construction of your design, you can now do the very same with solid geometry. The construction attribute of these bodies will then help you to differentiate that geometry and automatically exclude it. Excluding them from mass properties is just one out of more than a dozen workflows where they are treated special. You will find more details in the video.   (view in My Videos) Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative. If you lik

Some Creo modules or applications such as NC or mold design modules do not yet fully support multibody models (as of Creo 7.0/8.0).   Watch the below video to understand what you can do in these cases and how you can get to the required reference models for these downstream applications.   Thanks for reading and many thanks to my colleague Beat Fretz who provided this example model (view in My Videos)to me.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0+ Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Hi everyone,   I have part A and part B in an assembly. Is it possible to have part A displayed as shading with edges while part B displayed as shading only?   I have tried combined stated, played with view manager, but so far can't do it.    Your help much appreciated.   Cheers Sandy

Hello everyboby, I am curently designing a folding knife and I would like to use external references for the blade both in the open and close position relative to scale of the handle, could you please advise me on how to do so ? I don't know if it is possible to reference a sketch relative to 2 different geometries   Best regards
