PTC Education

FIrst let me say I am new to PTC Creo but I have used other CAD programs such as Inventor.We recently obtained an EKOCYCLE 3D printer and were looking for things to do with it. I found a model of Falco from Star Fox as an .STL and showed it to my mentors who told me that I should see if I could remove the gun from his holster and replace it with a wrench. I did that though a combination of Meshmixer and Meshlab. Afterwards I was told that I need to remove the disc from his other hip. The STL is linked below and I can attach other files if that will help.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:652635What I am trying to ask is can I import an stl to a solid part? If so, How? Also, what tools and commands help me work on meshes?Thank you in advance. Side note: I am trying to use this as an exercise to learn Creo as our team plans on switching over later this year.

Hello,   I am trying to install ptc2.0 student edition via the offline procedure. But i don't know where to find the product code (which has not been sent to me)... Where can I find my product code?

‌Is there a limit to the number of times I can install Creo3 Student Edition on my PTC Account?I've been getting a licensing error on install but when my partner types in their account, it works fine.I still need to install on several more computers at our lab. What do I need to do?Thank you,Dan Glenn, Stuffed Robotics Program6565 Stuffed Dragons8489 Stuffed GriffinsSan Diego, CA

I Have upgraded to creo 3 after a few attempts. But more importantly i have reviewed the selection of assembly models with supporting tutorials in the 'how to model almost anything' which is available to download on the academic resource page.what a great introduction to the software.. I tried out the first excercise with my year 10 engineers and they were hooked. It is good to have such a range of assembly models to investigate and build the basic understanding of assembly modelling.i Am going to continue working through the excercises and hopefully these pupils will get to grips with the software in a new way.thanks for the resources PTC.,and merry christmas to all. Neil..uk.

I see that Creo 3.0 release M020 is now on the academic server. Can anyone point me to a release notes/what's new document? Is it worth upgrading from M010?

Hi, I have successfully installed the student version of Creo and tried to open Creo Parametric, but the following warning jumped out and stopped me from using the software, what should i do, plz help.

Hi, I'm trying to set up my academic license, but I just can't seem to get it to work.I clicked on the setup.exe and used the Set up new license option, but it would not work so I used my old student license instead to install the program.Now Creo 2.0 works fine, but I need the academic license to work, because of the EMX we need at school.When I go to reconfigure.exe in C:\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin it's basically the same. When I add the license in the summary the old one is available, but the statusof the academic one is blank. When I check the FLEXnet admin web interface is says the following:I am really clueless what to do, pls help.

This past weekend we updated all our laptops to CRE 3.0, all went well til we got to the last two laptops. We installed CReo 3.0 same as before on a laptop that was running Creo 2.0M120 , when we clicked the Creo 3.0 icon the time dial ran for a few seconds then nothing happened , tried again same thing , no error codes etc... , we thought 2.0 may have been interferring , we deleted all the PTC files and started over from scratch , Firewall and Antivirus were off. Same issue we click the Creo 3.0 ICon and get a time dial for about 5 seconds then it stays on the desktop screen , no errors, no codes as to what happened , it just won't run, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated , all other parts of install appear to go fine , IE getting a license, loading files, etc. no errors popped up. We did try reloading a third time with same results.

Does PTC still support ProEngineer Wildfire 4.0 License upgrades?

Hello Everyone, My team and I are just wondering where on the baseline CAD models we can use to store payload, our file (pusher fixed wing) shows a solid fuselage. Also where do we assume the original CG is located on the pusher fixed wing design in the baseline CAD models. Do we use Creo Simulation to find it or is their a known coordinate for this. Lastly is there a given maximum speed for the pusher design, in the detailed document it provides the cruise speed but not the max speed.Thank You,Michael Fasciano

Seeing a picture of 30 St Mary Axe, widely known as The Gerkin building in London, i wondered how the frame could be modelled in PTC Creo.A few minutes of observation followed by some fiddling came up with right and left handed helical sweeps patterned around a common axis. A revolved ring connects the ends at the bottom. See if you can come up with another method of modelling the frame.The PTC Creo model is attached. Does anyone with a 3D printer fancy printing one and posting a picture?

According to an error we are getting, our licenses for Creo 2.0 Expired on Feb 26th, which was a little weird, as I myself have been in Creo for past few days, with no problem. As a result, we are trying to download the new Creo 3.0, but running into an error when trying to download the new software. We are getting a "An Irreversible Error has occurred." That's it. All we can do is then exit the download manager. Has anyone else run into this problem? How do we fix it to download the new version?Thanks

Just installed Creo 2.0 and got it to load. I am getting an error stating my license is expired and I see that it is not the same license number I provided during installation. How do I update the license number? Please see my screen shot below.Thanks in advance.

Dear Creo Friends, i'm having some problem with MGf modul in Creo 3 version which i downloaded here:http://img.im/i/phk3n7Everything else is working fine but the MGF modul is not available. I used to work as a CAD/CAM teacher few years back in the high mechanical school and we were using Creo 2 for CAM products. Back then i had support from Slovenian PTC office and there was a MGF modul included. Here are some of my products and products from my students:http://img.im/i/hjjc97Example of step by step milling: http://bit.ly/1uPX8G2Machines: EMCO Mill 250 and Turn 250Like i wrote i downloaded a Creo 3 version just to refresh my knowledge on manufactoring, becous i forgot a cuting parameters and some other steps but i can not open my old programs which were made on school version of Creo 2. How to add MGF modul in Creo 3?http://img.im/i/hycy78Thank you!

I just created an exploded view of a car with 4 wheels and when I clicked on the exploded view icon everything shifted to the left. I was hoping the wheels and rims would explode outwards away from the car.How do I change the settings for exploded views?
