Pop up message warning in CREO

Hello everyone, 

I have 2 parameters, and i want that when those parameters are in certain value the system pop up a message that say something like “parameter 1 is… and 2 is … “. 

Like for example: i have a material and a treatment. Not every treatment can be execute on every material. Fe i choose a quench on titanium. The thermal treatment is not possible or available on such material. A message should appear with “you choose this and this, please check”. FE when i am check in the part. 

So i want to do an initial confrontation of the 2 parameter. FE the material and the treatment. And where i will do this? I don’t want a real relation. But only a check. 

I read about the model check. How can i use it for this purpose? 

I hope i explain it clearly. Thank you

With Toolkit you can use pre and post notifier functions on parameter changes.

You should ask your Creo Admins about this, this may a long and bumpy road :-)

It sounds like you are trying to flag problems to fix vs interactively interrupt the user to make a decision based on a parameter setting.

 

Force Logic with Model Relations (painful):

  • Basically write relations in each model that forces other parameter settings based on a parameter value.  This creates massive technical debt.. definitely do not recommend this solution.  It will work short term and be a nightmare long term (every model will need to be maintained as things change over time).

Interactive options (painful):

  • Pro/PROGRAM might be an option - this is super painful to manage and will likely require some toggles to disable the interruptions for inputs.
  • JLINK/Toolkit Application - more a scoped head-check within the workflow… harder to write and integrate, but might work - depends on the workflow you expect.

Batch Review and Modifications (easier):

Model Check - may be an option - but is a separate thing with its own rules (discovery of a conflict is likely easy - more difficult if you have multiple decisions to make)

Nitro-CELL (super easy) - Basically this:

  • Get Model Parameters from Creo → Excel Table,
  • Use Excel PowerQuery to review your Excel Table Parameter Values content for problems
  • PowerQuery could generate a new Excel Table needed fixes.
  • Send PowerQuery Generated Table of fixes back to Creo
  • Done! 

NOTE: You can download Nitro-CELL for FREE and do the above for FREE (only limit is amount of data being processed)

CREOSON (coding required) - Basically the same Nitro-CELL process - but with code (JS / Python / whatever)

 

Hope this helps!
