Creo+ and Creo Parametric

Hello Dear Friends at PTC Community, What is the industry practice regarding level of details for MBD parts?  Should ALL features have ALL dimensions shown, in as many Combination Views as necessary (same level of detailing as in 2D drawing)? Is there a way to hide a model in Combination View?  Some of our Combination Views are packed with notes and models are not necessary (they get in the way actually).Simplified Representation works within assemblies, but not at part level. any chance someone here can share a good practice/high standard reference model, something I can learn from?

I am using the Creo 10 cable and harness application and hoping to find a solution to creating a flat and flexible ground strap. I've seen some electrical modeled assembly drawings that show flexible ground strap concepts, and I'd like to create the same effect. It does not need to show the fancy woven details from the manufacturing process, just a flat and flexible feature that I can assign its path with the "Location" section while connecting at terminal lugs at each end.  Regards, Chas.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.1.0Closing Creo with an error message :Unable to communicate with the display driver. the application must close.Here are the errors that I facedUnable to communicate with the display driver.error code : 2

I just installed Creo 10.0.5.0 (from 8.0.10.0 and 9.0.9.0) and am noticing that on each launch Windchill is offline unless I manually go to Server Management and uncheck the "Offline" box.  All of the settings from 8.0.10.0 and 9.0.9.0 are unchanged and neither one of those versions had that issue.  What do I need to do to have it start with Windchill online?

When a new IFX fastener is created, a window for pattern (single instance / all instances) and the hole control (no hole / hole in part level / hole in assembly level) shows up (see image)   Is it possible to bring up this window on existing fastener, and edit it? Or would the fastener have to be deleted and a new one created in order to get this window again?  

Hi all,I found Creo schematics software yesterday, and I think it would suit my needs but I would like to ask a few questions, if some members of the community has encountered the case already. At my company we use to draw harness layout drawing (all connected harnesses of the project) on a single sheet. I believe this can be done using circuit diagram.In our harnesses, we are using ferrules and mark tube (on which we print wire label) because harnesses are connected to terminal blocks.My questions:Is it possible to define ferrules and mark tubes when creatins harnesses? Is it a built-in function or can we develop it by ourselves?Is there any terminal blocks templates already? Thank in advance.Nicolas  

I am using Creo Simulate Release 4.0 and DatecodeM150we are tryin to RUN Static Structual Contact analysis, it is running form 48hrs still, Run is not completed, want to know how to optimise and know the issue, how to resolve itHere are the errors that I faced(loosening gap stiffness to improvrconvergence)

Hi,I have an issue with Creo Simulate. Whenever I try to run the analysis, the fatal error appears and Creo shuts down. Below is the error massage from traceback.log file.

In Creo, flexible components such as springs, mounted in an assembly, do not graphically show their flexibility when dragging. How to solve this behavior? What can I do? And without using the mechanism! In short, I would like to see the spring that stretches and compresses when I drag the purple component without having to regenerate at the end of the drag. thanks in advance to anyone who can help mestarting position after dragging the purple component after regenerated  

So, I got this model, that has an "Inherited Model Reference", so it should have an external inheritance feature inside that cannot be retrieved by Creo (Version 8, and 10). After you try to load this model, your session is corrupted in the following way:The File > Manage Session > Object List is empty [1].The Folder Browser > In Session shows the reference model [2].The Folder Browser > Workspace does only contain the model I want to open [3].Opening the reference model from In Session does not work (cannot be retrieved—expected, Object List).Opening the reference model by itself works fine. Having the reference model in session does not change the issue.Erase Not Displayed looks like [4], and results in an "All the objects which were not displayed have been erased." message, but the session remains unchanged (Object List, In Session, Erase Not Displayed).When we try to visualize this model in WVS I get the error "Failed to erase 1 files in session (-1 1)" and the pub

Hello all, first time post, long time lurker.    I've recently dabbled into CREO simulate. I'm having trouble working with fasteners and understanding why such low fastener preloads produce insanely high stress values. I'm using CREO 7.0 When I apply only 10N of preload to my fastener (1/2"), I get thousands of MPa on the metal plates. I have no external loads applied. 25000MPa. WHY? Here's a look at my fastener.And here's my material.Please help me understand what is going on. Thank you.

For the Creo drawing BOM.The BOM level should be automatically adjusted according to a size A3, A4 etc. , If needed move to the next page.Is it possible?

Hi,We are working on chassis design for off-road vehicles and we have very large assembly files. (Approx 10.000 parts) I am working on projects by excluding or including components but sometimes it takes time to process easy tasks. Our computers are workstations and they are very good but in very large assemblies it does not help. I know some ways to do but it didn't help much.Is there possible ways to increase performance? Thanks in advance -Enes

Hello Folks, I am using Creo 7.0 and partial or detail view generates as full view in pdf file when working online (windchill connected). But when I generate pdf file offline (with standalone creo / offline) same view remains as is as they are in creo drawing.I wonder if anybody faced this issue. Any help is appreciated!! Regards,Mani

Hi everyone, I am having an issue with fixing parts in Creo Parametric 6.0. We are a team which works on chassis manufacturing and we have a lot of parts in our assembly files. Sometimes we have some reference issues and we have to delete all constraints and fix all parts in assembly. I created a mapkey for this but it just does one part with one keytap. So we need to fix all the parts but faster. We are using Windchill PLM by the way. (If you need this information.) Thanks in advance for the help!

On the Creo 2D drawing, For the Sheetmetal fabrication BOM table, is it possible to show weight of each component and total final weight?

Hello Everyone,   We are working on an assembly having lots of sublevels. While creating some relations , when try to "Insert" -> "From List" , it shows the error message "Requested filtered table exceeds the number of allowed rows.Re-edit the filter or cancel."   Please help me to solve this issue.   Regards  

While creating a 2D drawing, how to achieve to have a default automated center line for oblong rectangle or hexagon

So a drawing that has been in our system for sometime has suddenly lost all the views on each sheet of the drawings. the views still appear on the drawing tree but on the page no view can be seen including dimensions and balloons. 

Is it possible to create a custom hole file (.hol) for holes that are only drilled, not tapped?  I'm trying to recreate a standard drill chart with our standard countersink sizes and hole callouts. For the life of me I cannot figure out if Creo will allow me to do this.  I have a number of custom threaded hole files but this one is an enigma. What I have so far is attached.  When I go to select a size from it, I just get a -1.000 for the diameter.  Remove the .txt if using the file.  Thanks..

Long ago when I created UDFs for various holes, I could put the corresponding tolerance with the hole.  When I showed my dimensions in the drawing, tolerances came over.   I'm creating some new .hol files now but can't seem to figure out where to include any hole tolerance.   Ex:  If I pick a .250 dia hole from the dropdown, what I'd like to see in the model is .250 +.005 / -.001. Obviously I can add a tolerance later, but having it stored would help standardize things for our users Creo 8.0.0.0 Thanks..

Hello dear Community,I am a student having worked with Autodesk Inventor for a while but i am switching for a future employment.When trying to make a threaded hole i select ISO as the thread type and M20x2.5 as the size but then it spits out sizes like 0.6890 for the inner hole diameter wich is propably in inches, but since everything is set to mm it tries to make a hole for the thread thats just 0.689mm in size.Screenshot is attached aswell i couldnt find any solution via google / this forum but maybe i was just blind, if you could give me an answer or point me to an already existing Answer i would greatly appreciate it.Software: Creo Parametric Education Edition (Version 10 i belive)

I recently made some CDF-Live Simulations and thought that the particle animation is really slow.It turns out, when dragging or rotating the part the animation is fluid.GPU = 3080 ti also happens with 2070 Super, and 1660 TI MobileDrivers - Newest and i also tried the latest WHQL driversWin 10 and 11 I checked the Monitor and found that Creo (once the object stands still) lowers the refresh rate to about 3-5 FPS, (usually wanted) , but it also happened when a particle animation is running. When dragging the model the refresh rate jumps to the usual 250+ and the animation is smooth. I attached a short Video demonstrating the effect (sorry for the music and outro, i tried some presets)I searched quite some time for a config Option, but i didn't find much related to refresh rate or CFD-Live.The few Commands i found didn't solve the issueMFG Raimund
