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.

There is no longer a command in 18.1 to project cross-section construction lines to a workplane. The only option is to project cross-section geometry to a workplane. Am I missing something or is it really gone?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Salve, è possibile creare una vista isometrica con il profilo ombreggiato+geometria dove pero all'interno della vista solo un particolare è ombreggiato e tutti gli altri sono geometria ??   GRAZIEThis 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.

Hi,   ich versuche gerade mich in Creo Elements Express einzuarbeiten. Ich möchte gern eine hohle Halbkugel modellieren, leider krieg ichs nicht hin. Leider habe ich auch im Internet keine Information dazu gefunden.     Vielleicht hat jemand ein paar Stichworte für mich wie ich vorgehen soll.       Gruß   EruThis 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.

Hallo zusammen, ich bin noch am experementieren mit creo elements und habe mir ein 3D Modell erstellt (Box mit Klappe).Ich wollte nun eine Konfiguration erstellen die die Klappe öffnet und schließt.Wenn ich nun die Klappe durch dynamisches positionieren öffne, dreht sich die Achse sauber in der Lagerbohrung.Beim betätigen der Konfiguration allerdings läuft die Achse exzentrisch aus der Bohrung hinaus (also quer durch das Teil) und kurz vor Endposition der Klappe wieder in diese hinein.Was mache ich falsch?   Gruß Stefan SchäferThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am running a multipass analysis set to converge within 5%. I am confused about what exactly the RMS stress error Estimates is tellling me. When I run my analysis I get what looks like a very large stress error.....   RMS Stress Error Estimates:   Load Set Stress Error % of Max Prin Str ---------------- ------------ ----------------- Load-Rear 5.06e+04 65.4% of 7.73e+04   Local Stress Error Estimates:   Load Set &nb sp; Stress Error max over max over model selected elements ---------------- ------------ ----------------- Load-Rear 111.4% 0.0%   Yet it also says this:   The analysis converged to within 5% on edge displacement, element strain energy, and global RMS stress.   Measure convergance is really tight except Von Mises which is slightly above 10%. What steps can I take to reduce the RMS Stress Error Estimate?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team. If you would like to provide a reply and re-open this thread,

Hallo Zusammen,   nach einigen Erfahrungen mit ProE habe ich mich jetzt an Creo Elements versucht. Leider hänge ich zu obigem Thema etwas. Die einfache Aufgabe, eine Platte mit mehreren Nuten mit von einander abhängigen Tiefen zu kreieren kann ich zwar umsetzen, jedoch bekomme ich die Abhängigkeit der Tiefe nicht hin.   Mein Ziel eine(n) Abhängigkeit/Parameter zu definieren über den ich alle Nutentiefen gemeinsam steuern kann klappt nicht. Auch beim seitlichen Versetzen der Nute muss ich jeweils beide Seitenwände der Nute ansteuern. Lage der erste Seite plus Abstand der Gegenseite.     Ich komm hier einfach nicht weiter und brauche Hilfe.   Viele Grüße   KlausThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hopefully I put this in the right category. Still new to this planet ptc.   I am working on an iPhone 4s model in Creo Elements Pro and was playing around with the scenery a little and wondered if it was possible to make not just the floor reflective but also the walls too. I saw one picture with this effect and haven't been able to figure out how it was done.   Any help would be appreciated.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi   Is it possible to import a phot or 2D drawing and have on one workplane and on another copy over the photo or drawing ?

I am investigating the pull-off behavior of epoxy nodules bonded to a thin layer of silicone elastomer. There is a sharp ~90 degree corner around the epoxy-silicone junction. The epoxy is pulled perpendicular to the plane of the silicone. With an elastomer, an elasto-plastic analysis is not very suitable to handle the singularity / theoretically infinite stress in the corner.   I've seen a similar study using h-elements that had a nice method to deal with the singularity. That method used finer and finer elements in the corner to progressively simulate stress vs. distance from corner. Based on results from very fine meshes, they choose a coarser mesh that would reliably find the stress 5 microns away from the corner. I've tried this with Mechanica (WF 5.0) with some success, but the p-elements give a oscillatory stress that makes interpretation of the real stress curve difficult (see pic attached). With h-elements, as the corner is approached, finer meshes simply cause the stress

Hi. My internet contract expired and I decided not to renew it at this time. So I don't currently have internet access and I thought, it would be a good time to do a bit more learning on the sorftware. Unfortunately I can't even use it when I try to open it up. It's asking for a code which it never did before since I had the internet and then just closes. So this means I can no longer use it at home now. Where can I get this code from since I have this installed on my laptop and one desktop computer, but can't use either apparently. I would just like to keep working on the tutorials in the meantime. This is for the free download version that I'm referring to. The laptop is Win XP pro and the desktop is Win 7 pro. Thanks.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Just for comparison, for our Wildfire 5/Creo Elements Pro 5 install, I use the following without issues on Windows 7 (64-bit) and Windows XP (32-bit). SET PTC_WF_ROOT=%APPDATA%\PTC\ProENGINEER\%WFROOT%\.wf\.SET PTC_WF_CACHE=%USERPROFILE%\ptc\Windchill Yes, no quotes, even though our user names have spaces in them, which means the path that comes from "%USERPROFILE% has spaces in it. (WFROOT is a variable I set myself ahead of time. I don't want conflicts between ProE versions so I rename the default folder per version.)
