Hi all,

In Creo (but maybe also in pro/Engineer...I don't remember well) there is the opportunity to do an external analysis (Analysis -> Custom -> External Analysis).
I read from "Help" that you can pass out of Creo whatever parameters you want as input for another application that, after a rielaboration, re-pass to Creo the information.

If I'm not wrong, you have to built in C++ the application that conduct the link between Creo and the other software (a toolkit application???).

I have different questions:
- what kind of analysis does it make sense to do in this manner?
- can I have some example?
- where can you find some detailed documetation about this?

Thanks
Bye

Using External analysis you can save into file a parameters from Creo in form:

1) parameter_name = value

2) CSV

3) XML

You can use relations in the analysis for manipulation an parameters in analysis feature.

You can read parameters from file to the analysis.

You can write a application to use parameters saved to file, using any programming language. Or import file to application (if it support this), for example to Excel using CSV.
