So we are looking to upgrade from Creo Elements Direct 16 to 19, as well as upgrade the model manager   What is the process of upgrading the model manager?  How does that work?   In addition-where can I find the enhancements between the two versions?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Following the e-Learning program.   First they say that shells are not very accurate at areas of small radii. Then they say that in comparison with shells, solid elements are not accurate at areas of small radii.   So, models with small radii, (as a bike for example), should be simulated using shells idealizations or solid elements?     This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Although I do like Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express and I appreciate that it is free, a problem with this program is that it is not very user friendly, in my opinion, and that can be frustrating.  I sometimes find myself unable to figure out how to do simple things and the help file sometimes doesn't help.  I am in that situation now.   I want to move a workplane in a direction normal to itself until it snaps onto a certain face which is parallel to the workplane.  That seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I can't see how to do it.  I thought I could use the 3D Copilot (in the dynamic position mode) and that when the pointer got over the face the face would get highlighted and I could select it and then the worplane would snap to it.  But it doesn't get highlighted and I can't select it.  Of course there are other ways to accomplish this, such as just creating a new workplane on the face.  But I have been running into this part

Hello,   I tried to perform an analysis of a problem from the PTC Help Center.   I get the same exact numbers of elements and equations. However, the result is QUITE DIFFERENT.   I checked all variables (units, measures...) and I cannot see my mistake. The image shows you the problem, the attached file is my analysis.   Can you help me to figure it out?   Thank you.   This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi folks,   I am using Creo Elements / Direct Modeling Express.  I am trying to loft through three profiles on three workplanes in a workplane set.  The profiles are fairly simple shapes with four vertices each.  But one of the workplanes is perpendicular to another one and one edge of the profile on one is coextensive with one edge of a profile in another workplane (and I think that may be causing a problem).  Anyway, when I try to create an appropriate matchline I get an error message which says: "If a vertex lies in another workplane, a vertex must be at the same position in the other workplane."  I don't know what that means and cannot create a loft between the three profiles on the three workplanes.  What must I do to create this loft?  I have attached a drawing with the three workplanes so you can see what I am talking about.   Thanks in advance,   VincentThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

For those who are interested in learning lisp, I highly recommend this book "Land of Lisp" Learn to program lisp one game at a time.  By Conrad Barski, MD.   This book explains lisp clearly and actually makes it entertaining to boot.   This book is available on Amazon.  The website is http://landoflisp.com/.   Regards   Tom KirkmanThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Have an engineer that is using Windchill to manage his design files. He's got ANSYS connected to Creo Elements Pro. When he sends the file to ANSYS it puts two pipes " | | " in front of the name and won't load it. I am guessing this has something to do with how ANSYS reads the file name or how Windchill shows it.   Any suggestions folks? (By the way, the suggestion "Don't use Windchill" will be ignored...   JimThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

We are playing around with Creo Simulate and the non-linear large deformation parts.   It appears you cannot do non linear on beam or shell elements.

Hello everybody ! First post and i'm not a native english speaker so if there are some mistakes i apologize for this.   I have a problem about machining counterbore in CoCreate Modeling 17.0..easy for you but hard for me   when we want to create counterbore hole a dialog comes out which needs too many parameters(workplane. counterbore diameter .counterbore depth. diameter.....), it's too intricate and the counterbore hole is standardized..so I make a customized toolbar as you see the attachment, and you needn't input the paremeters above,just choose the point where you want to put......   but here's the problem, I can't find the function for making counterbore hole in IKit... is there a function or other record lisp like "EXTRUDE"."C_CIRCLE " ect.   PS:  I've viewed too many topics on the website:http://www.cocreateusers.org/forum/ but i have no idea why i can't register on that forum and it's a bit difficult situation about my not well english.   Thanks

I have two bearing rails on either side of a drill chuck.   Ordinarily, in my previous program, I would construct a line between the two outer parts, then move the inner part by selecting on it's center, and moving to the midpoint of the line I constructed, with a filter allowing it to only move in the plane I choose.   But with Creo, I cannot even snap on a part that isn't active. So in order to even draw the line between the two outer parts, I have to activate one, put a workplane on it, draw a point in the corner; go over to the other outer part, activate it, then draw a line between the active part, and the point I drew. Then I can snap to that midpoint, and move my part. Is this really how it's done, or is there some easier way?   Also, is there a way to snap to parts that aren't activated? Some commands do, some don't. And it seems the commands where I need it, it isn't there, and vice versa.   I have to add that I'm getting addicted to this program. It's a lo

Ehrenwerte Community, wir stellen bei unseren Fertigungszeichnungen eine Passmaßliste dar. Der Befehl am_dim_value gibt den Bemaßungswert zurück (Drafting: INQ 3). Nun ist der Wert 50.0000000000081 einfach größer als das dargestellte Maß 50 und somit wird in der Tabelle die nächst größere Toleranz gezogen. Statt -0,062 wird -0,074 bei h9 gezogen. Gibt es einen Befehl, ähnlich im Drafting (INQ 306), der nur den dargestellten Maßtext ausgibt und nicht den Maßwert? Besten Dank und viele Grüße J.

Hello,   it would be nice if there is a snap command when I move lines or dimensions. That could be a square like in other CAD-programs.

Hi I am new to Modelling Express this seams an obvious question but how do I drill a hole in an existing model. I have an STL from a manufaturer for a simple ABS plastic box consisting of 6 parts the base, the lid and the 4 screws. My question is how do I drill a hole in the base I have created a workplane and drawn a circle but I cannot seem to create a hole in the one side of the box. If I use punch it goes through both sides of the base. When I look online there is only reference to the drill command which is not present in modelling express. So how do I do it?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Does someone know how to inquire the :base_face, :flat_origin and :flat_direction of a flat view in annotation. I tried to do it with (sd-am-inq-view), but I can't find these things. We already create one flat view, but we want to have a sheet with a second flat that is completely the same like the first flat. So it would be handy to get these attributes out of the first one.   Does somebody know how to inquire this? thanks in advanceThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
