Hello All,   A simple model comprising a cylindrical bar held at one end.   The constraint is defined in a cylindrical csys as it is desired the bar should rotate relative to an applied load.   The rotation should be achieved using an enforced displacement constraint.   The enforced displacement is THETA.   I would have expected the bar to rotate, (rigid body) but instead the elements on the constrained face wind up.   Model attached. (which can't get much simpler) No forces applied. Only one enforced displacement constraint. everything linear.   small mpg attached for those who don't want to run a model.   Can someone point out the obvious mistake.   ThanksThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hallo zusammen,   ich habe eine 2D-DXF-Datei in Creo Elements/Direct ... eingelesen. Die Geometrien werden wie erwartet auch richtig auf der Annotation-Seite eingelesen.   Der Befehl "Kopieren" unter Geometrie läßt aber nur eine Rechteckauswahl zu. Damit würde ich aber zu viele Elemente nach 3D übertragen. Wie kann ich einzelne Elemente auswählen und nach 3D kopieren.   Das Aufsammeln von Elementen geht. Aber mit Strg (Control) C sind die Elemente nicht zu übertragen.   Gibt es da eine Anweisung die ich übersehen hab?   Mit Gruß WernerThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hallo Community,   leider funktioniert es nicht, dass die Exponentialfunktion, um eins nach oben verschoben, auf einem Zylinder abgebildet wird. Habt ihr Ideen dafür? Ich habe schon probiert die Zylinderfläche abzuwickeln, nur ist durch das gegebene Koordinatensystem, eine Volumenkörper-Biegung mit der e-Fkt. nicht möglich.   Viele Grüße und schon mal herzlichen Dank!

Hallo Zusammen   nach einem PC-Wechsel, hier wurde das Programm durch den Administrator offenbar nur "rübergezogen",l bekomme ich bei Programmstart von CREO-Elements Express den Hinweis dass ich keine gültige Lizenz hätte. Hab Programm schon zigfach deinstalliert und neu installiert, Einträge in der Registry entfernt und nach versteckten Programmdaten gesucht, nichts hilft. Hat hier jemand eine Rat zu der Angelegenheit ?   Schon mal Danke fürs Durchlesen und erst recht bei einer Hilfe.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hello Community,   I'm trying to learn a CAD program so I can design an electric tractor.   I recently downloaded Creo Element/Direct Modeling Express 4.0 and started with the tutorials to get familiar with the commands and how to do this stuff. Things started off fine and I was able to manipulate my drawings in real time without any lag. After a couple of sessions I started having problems moving my parts around. When I tried to drag or view my part in a different angle everything went into slow motion mode with terrible lag. It makes it so I can't use this program...it's too frustrating!   So, It DID work and now it doesn't and I changed nothing on my computer.   Any hints to what may be the issue or has anybody else had the same problem?   I'm on a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium ( yeah I know, a friend gave me this computer so I can't complain ) SP2, with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ 2.10GHz, 2 GB RAM on a 32-bit operationg system. &n

In 2009 I bought the software "CoCreate 2008 Version 16.00D". In 2010 we got the new version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" from our support-contact at Switzerland - I never installed it on my PC. After 2010 we finished upgrade-contract because all features we needed from our CAD were available.   Today (21.01.204) I bought Win 8.1. I installed the newer version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" on my second PC*. I kept the fist one I'm having with Win XP and "CoCreate 2008 Version 16.00D" running on it. I wanted to have a Hardware-Backup because of my CAD from CoCreate (that has HW-License as I was told then).   * all the same hardware. No differences. I bought them together some years ago to have a "hardware backup system".   I try now to make run the newer version "PTC/CoCreate 17.00" on my PC. The one with WinXP I kept without any changes to ensure that I have a fallback system. As already mentioned the hardware on the second PC is the same. I copied the file MEIs.conf from the path of th

I am having trouble with the display of Workplanes in my Creo/Elements Direct Modeling. It is as if a shadow or copy of the workplane is displayed along with it - the shadow can not be selected and is not a separate plane. I have tried changing all visibility-related settings in the 3D Object area, Viewport settings, Workplane Properties and Show settings as well. I can not get the duplicate to go away and it is very deceiving when modeling - especially since I normally work with many planes at the same time. The number of planes I am seeing is actually DOUBLE what I should be seeing. Does anyone know how to turn OFF this option, assuming that it IS optional?   Thanks, Korie Carter Tensor EngineeringThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi, I am working with the 3D Access and the built in render module. When I render something the resulting image is always way too dark. Any ideas why that might be? I attaches some pictures of the model. One in normal view, one with the lighting added to the scene, and one with the result of the render. I used the following lighting "light studio/object/high contrast/keylight, spot, 2 fill lights and back light" (might actually be named different. translated from german).

Hello, I used to use prodesktop 2000i2 in school and creo elements seems like a more powerful version of this. In prodesktop there was an option to use text on a workplane and then extrude it to form a 3d object, can you do this in creo elements.   Many Thanks ColinThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Is there a way to customize the ribbon of Drafting by Macro ?   I am creating a new tab named DMS which contains groups and buttons to the ribbon and I would like to share it with my colleagues. I need a means, macro or something else, which allows for importing this tab DMS, without doing it by hand. The own customization of my colleagues must not be modified. That means that the tab DMS must be added to the ribbon.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

We are working with Direct Model and Drawing Manager 18.1. As soon as we connect to the server an update is initiated and the updated file gets installed in the folder "username\AppData\Local\PTC\Creo Elements\Direct Model and Drawing Manager 18.1". Additionally a shortcut gets created in the Current user Profile targeting the new executable. My problem ist now: We are using roaming profiles, so the shortcut will roam but the files wont. When a user logs on to a different sytem, he gets an error because of the missing exe file. Is it possible to disable autoupdate? Is it possible to configure the update location?   chears ChrisThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am conducting a study using the stress analysis features in creo simulate but I can't explain the steps the process is taking. I am using the multi-pass adaptive convergence method using maximum von mises stress as my measurement with a targeted convergence of 1%. I set the minimum P-order to 1 and the maximum P-order to 9.   What I can not explain is why this method is using only 7 passes to calculate a solution. The solution is not converging until the 9th order bias functions so it is not stopping because it has converged.   I would expect the method to run a pass for each polynomial order and increase those elements that have not yet converged until the maximum p-order is reached or all elements have converged. The method appears to be skipping a couple of these passes for the 3rd and 5th polynomial order.   I have attached the run status summary file from my analysis. It can be seen that the second pass uses 2nd order functions and the third pass jumps to 4th orde

Hi!   I need to find the principal stresses direction for 12 models. Is there any easy way to do?   I am working with creo elements 5.0 M190   I study the model with the measure points and obtain the principal stress. Now I need its direction too.     I have the direction for one model see attachment. The direction of the highest arrow is not along the principal direction X, Y or Z? Also the direction means kind of angles I think but there is no any reading about the stress directions. Can anyone help with this?

Hi All!   This is just to add to the conversations that I have seen here about a mess in the product naming from PTC:   I got a request to have "proe" installed in one of the areas - we are on CreoPro 2.0, so, I went to that area and installed the current version. Than, I got e-mail from the user, saying that the vendor is not on CreoPro 2.0, but on the CreoPro 1.0 ( in reality, he was told that the vendor company is on the "first" version of creo). So, I said: No problem. Downloaded CreoPro1.0 and went and installed it in that area. Than, I got another e-mail from the user, saying that the vendor ment to say that they are on Wildfire 5.0 m130. I went to PTC download site and the "Most recent datecode" of Wildfire 5.0 is m060, but Creo/Elements Pro 5.0 has m130, which I have downloaded and am going to install it. Keeping my fingers crossed that I guessed what user has requested.   I understand, that it is partially "broken phone" between my users, vendor and me. But all

Hallo allerseits.   Direkt nach dem Starten von Creo Elements Direct Modelling Express 4 M010 kommt es zu o.g. Fehler. Zusammen mit einer weiteren Fehlermeldung "Fehler bei Aktion create_vp/signal/sigsegv". Dass meist der Grafikkartentreiber daran schuld ist, konnte ich schon in Erfahrung bringen. Die Software läuft auf einem Lenovo L520 Notebook mit Intel HD Graphics unter Windows 7 32bit - also auch nicht unbedingt um ein Noname-Produkt. Ich habe über das Lenovo Systemupdate die aktuellen Grafiktreiber installiert, der Fehler besteht jedoch weiterhin. Gibt's sonst noch einen Weg, sich dieses Fehlers zu entledigen?   Ein Screenshot mit den beiden Fehlern habe ich angehängt.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Just starting with Creo 2.0 and when I open an existing Manufacturing file, the model tree only shows the Operations. The individual Sequences that make up the Operation do not appear, as they did in Creo Elements / Pro 5.0. I am sure that this is something that is very simple to get, but I just can't find the right thing to select to make it happen right now.
