Creo Behavioral Modeling Tips & Techniques Session Recording (West Coast)

Webcast Q&A

Question from Jacob:  When showing a parameter in a note, I find that the model has to be regenerated twice before the note will update.  Is there a way to get the relations to regenerate before the note is regenerated?

Answer:  The regeneration process works in the following order:

1. Calculation of initial relations
2. Regeneration of features, which changes geometry
3. Calculating of post regeneration relations.

To avoid having to regenerate twice:

• Geometry and mass properties related parameters.
  • Calculate geometry related parameters in initial relations.
  • Calculate mass properties related parameters in Post Regeneration relations
• Reorder the relations using the Sort relations functionality

Question from Jacob:  Can you use a user created relation parameter as a goal to minimize?

Answer:  Yes

Webcast Q&A

Question from John:  Can I get the values to show up in the history tree, so I don't have to click in to a given feature to check it?

Answer:  Yes, they can be displayed in a column of the Model Tree.

Question from John:  Can I change feature names on the fly in an analysis or do I have to go back to the feature to rename, then rerun the analysis?

Answer:  You can name it on the fly in the analysis.  Just need to press enter once you type in the new name in the analysis window.

Hi

Although the user interface is out of date, the capabilities are incredible.
I was surprised that a workaround was required to get a result in units of liters because Creo doesn't have a direct measurement of liters.

Thnaks,
