Creo Elements Direct

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? Thank you in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

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. Any help is definitely appreciated.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I'm trying to use the MoldDesignAdvisor to create some ribs using the pre-defined Rib Feature, but I am confused about how to do it. The feature calls for a workplane with 2D geometry, but it isn't clear how this workplane and 2D geometry is used to create the rib. The HELP system hasn't been helpful, nor is the graphic in the dialog. Has anyone used this? If so, how is it supposed to work? Is the 2D geometry on the workplane supposed to be the centerline of the rib (and then it is thickened and extruded up the rib height)? Should it be a closed profile which is extruded up the rib height? Or rib thickness?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

We have a simple model (plate with hole)   It has 2 loadsets, Loadset 1 and Loadset 2.   We create and save the mesh   We then carry out a linear static study first with loadset 1 - Analysis1. Then with Loadset 2 - Analysis2. i.e. 2 distinct analyses (not summed or combined).   and the constraints are unchanged   The saved mesh is reused and therefore we now have 2 results directories with consistent mesh.   We can then carry out a fatigue analyis using the results from analysis 1 and then 'append' a fatigue analysis using results from analysis 2.   (sometimes loads move about, hence 2 analyses. The real study requires many more load positions than 2 but this is keeping it simple and manually debug-able using the ascii output)   Now a description of the problem encountered ...   The h-element section of the .neu files, first 6 elements:   h-elements 840   Analysis1             1 6 22884 23759 2375

I am trying to create a variable radius blend where one end goes to a point (radius=0), and the other end meets up with a constant radius blend (with the same radiu). I would have thought that this would be straight-forward, but it hasn't been.This is the result that I want, but it wasn't easy to get it. If I create the big constant radius (vertical in the picture) first, then the smaller constant radius blend, the blend command won't do anything if I select the small edge remaining (circled edge in picture below). Through a lot of trial-and-error I eventually did get the result I was looking for. The only thing that made it easiest is when I "unrecognized" the large blend. Once I did that, I was able to create the variable radius blend, although I could only get it to work if I started with the variable radius blend and then added the constant radius blend. I don't understand why this wasn't easier.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team. If you would

In proe wildfire 4.0 I have used the option "use model in tree" for highlighting a view by clicking on model tree. For blanking, unblanking, changing style into phantom etc. this option was useful. Now I am working on creo elements/pro. But here I can't find that option. I am facing difficulty in detailing due to this. Someone please help me to find this option or any other method where i can use the model tree for selected view only.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

So let me get this straight with the naming. Wildfire5 stopped atm060, and creo elements Pro started at m065? Is that correct? So Creoelements pro is the exact same as WF5, other than the name?Here we have now spent a couple months time testing the "most recent"version of WF5 (as listed in the downloads page), and turns out itsolder than dirt, after all of our testing was approved. (well, we dohave some issues) And I still dont know if Creo Elements is the sameas WF5. Go live date is almost here, I cant just throw on the latestCreo elements without the team redoing the months of testing scriptsagain. To name a new release something different, I suppose thats OK. But cansomeone tell me one benefit of renaming a product VERSION half thru itslife? This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
