Networking and More

Please give us a way to download the presentations if we attended LiveWorx all at once.  Having to go in and download one at a time is painful. 

Hello, PTC Community Friends,   I feel remiss that I have not taken the time to introduce you and give a shout out to the newest member of the PTC Community Management Team, @AndrewK    Besides helping out on the PTC Community, Andrew enjoys tabletop gaming with friends, camping with his family, and is currently attending college for a Software Development degree.           Andrew has been with us over a month and has already been making big impact in the arena of swapping out community banners, loading badges, troubleshooting issues related to Email Notification , and countless other escalated moderator requests.  Not too shabby for roughly only 6 weeks on the job!      We are so glad AndrewK has joined the team.   Feel free to reach out to any of us  @AndrewK  @Leigh @IgnacioFdB  or @Jaime_Lee if you need assistance outside of  the general "Community Feedback"  board or the  "Not

Stay warm this weekend. Give a valentine. Show someone know how much you care because Someone loves you even more.     Did you hear about the broke and hungry mathematician? He could binomial.     Which king invented fractions? Henry the eighth.  

Join us at BUG as Thiagu from Tristar demos Creo Simulate.  Based on his previous demos - it will be action packed!   New Lunch & Learn, 2/19, Tristar will speak on Creo Simulate and ANSYS.  Contact debra.l.weich@gmail.com with any questions.

I have a short (hopefully) hold on a contract I support and am looking to suppliment my income while I wait for the hold to be lifted.  Over the last few months, I become proficient in documenting existing Windchill systems.   I'm currently offering the ability to document your workflows, no matter how complicated.  For instance, one simple workflow I documented had 95 pages of documentation to it.    Documenting the workflows this way enables your tech support, future solutions architects, sponsor (client) or even your technical personal to see all the workflow data in one spot, without needing to open individual workflow items and create screenshots from within every returned graphic and tab.  Though its not exactly the solutions architecture work I like, I believe it can provide great savings to your customer/client/internal.   It also reveals the differences between what your requirements documents say and what was coded in t

Blew into work this morning. The snow is amazing. Each snowflake is different just as each individual is created differently. While we have a lot in common, we can celebrate our differences endowed upon us.        Why was 11 arrested for a crime? They were the prime suspect.     What did the mathematician say when the witch removed his spell? Hexagon!

Enjoy the weekend. Get out. Look at the creation around you and admire.    

As the full moon was setting in the west this cold crisp morning I was contemplating the beauty of the world.     What shape do you always have to be careful of? A trap-azoid!     I don’t get the point of decimals. I’m more partial to fractions.    

Any poetry enthusiasts among us? I hope so! I decided to quote one of my favorite poets tonight 🙂   While I was reviewing Top Contributors for December, I was looking out my New England window at the tall pines armored by interlocking, white, deep frozen water molecules.  A thought came to me about how perfectly each snowflake (all unique and different) came together to make a beautiful shield for the branches of these fine trees against the cold. Have you ever had a chance to look at the exquisite geometry of a snowflake?  This  article  Classifying the geometry of snowflakes highlights their beauty and diversity"   shares the story of simple hexagons and star-shaped dendrites that bring some grief but a whole lot of enjoyment!          Congratulations to all our December Top Engagers!  @Werner_E @TomU @ValeryOchkov   @FredKohlhepp   @Dale_Rosema  @LucMeekes @PetrP &nbs

Have a great weekend. Spend time with the ones you love. Spend time with your Father.     Why do atheist have trouble with exponenets? They don’t believe in higher powers!   It’s always good idea to bring a mathematician camping. They come prepared with a pair of axis.  

Have a terrific day. Enjoy time with those you love.    

We have all been through challenging and unique situations during 2020.  What has remained constant is the spirit, helpfulness, and encouragement of our PTC Community members!    The PTC Community Team appreciates each and every one of our community members.  Every topic...every conversation is a member's story with our PTC  products.  The PTC Community Team is so glad to help facilitate those conversations right here on our community.   Please drop your holiday messages, pictures, and well wishes as a reply below.  I (Jaime_Lee) am finishing up my "eco-friendly" video family Christmas Card which will show up here (hopefully) some time this week!  Sneak peek below 😉  Yes, I love my dog...and my family is okay too! 😉             And,  without further delay let's recognize November's Top Encouragers!  You are all a gift!   Top Community Engagers for November are @Werner_E  @S_Edgen

Our goal is to always recognize Top Community Contributors at the PTC- PTC/USER Community Booth every PTC LiveWorx for the previous year.  Unfortunately, our world  (just like everyone else's) was turned a bit "upside down."  That is why before the PTC Community Team closes out 2020, we wanted to be sure to give out 2019 Community Badges and recognize all these great community contributions.   Please click on the community member usernames below to check out the awards listed on their profiles.       For example,  Werner_E received 8 awards for 2019.     (Note:  You may need to use <CTRL> < +> (plus sign) to enlarge the badge to read it).  Then, you may click right on the arrow to see exactly what the badge was received for!  Werner_E received three Mathcad Awards for Top Kudoed Author, Top Replier, and Top Solutions Provided!

Have a terrific weekend. Be blessed. Contemplate creation and the creator.     One of these things is not like the other: a frozen pizza, a bachelor’s degree in engineering, and a doctorate in conceptual mathematics. The answer? A frozen pizza and an engineer can both feed a family of 4.

Hello Everyone.  My company has some very large projects and I am looking for options as what company's can provide development services.  Who have you used?  Can you share some company names and contacts?   Thank you!

I will be enjoying a couple of days up north this weekend with my sweetie of 33 years. Enjoy your weekend what ever you may do. Hug the ones you love.     An arts student, sick of working at a fast food café for what had seemed an eternity, decided to get a job working as a laborer at a construction site. Being an over-confident arts student, he soon began to brag to the other workers about all sorts of things. One day he decided to brag that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of the wiry engineer on the site. After several minutes, the engineer had had enough. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," said the engineer. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back." "You're on, little guy!" the braggart replied. "Let's see what you have." The engineer reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young

November just absolutely flew by!  It went almost as quickly as it seemed like the gorgeous leaves with all different hues began to dry up and krinkle into the frost outside my window.   Hence, the reason you are getting "October Top Engager Recognition" on Thanksgiving Eve (for those of you in the USA). Somewhere between taking the day off to help my town clerk with elections and rolling out the CAD Announcement post, this month simply just got away from me.  These October results were just sitting waiting for me to unlock their goodness!   In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, I have decided to pass out turkey basters to our top October Community Engagers.  When I was  growing up in a bustling, busy household, one of my favorite Thanksgiving dinner preparation jobs was definitely basting the turkey. It is probably because cooking the turkey really could be considered one of the easiest Thanksgiving "dinner jobs." When you think about all the time an

For those in the states, have a blessed Thanksgiving and enjoy some time with your family or out in creation. If you are not celebrating Thanksgiving this week, still take a moment to pause and look at all the things in your life that make you appreciative.   Instead of posting a funny, pun, riddle or story problem, I would like to encourage you to reply with something for which you are thankful. Giving thanks doesn't necessarily mean that you liked all the things that have happened (i.e. 2020), but in future years you will look back and see how things have shaped you.   I am thankful for my family, for a roof over my head, for the many blessing that I have. I am thankful for the shed blood of my Savior that paid for all my faults. I am thankful for snowflakes, for starry skies, for the details of insects, for DNA codes to discover. I am thankful for science and the rules, laws, and principle that are there to be revealed.   Have a great weekend and be blessed.
