Who is the PTC UK Schools Curriculum Manager now?Do we have any programme left in the UK? The PTC site seems to be USA academic only now?Rgds,James

We were looking into a metor question about creating a true 3D representation of a chain drive this week, and I wanted to share the outcome of that investigation. Modeling a chain drive is a frequent FIRST question, but is often not addressed properly. The following YouTube video will show you how to sketch the centerline of the chain drive around the sprockets, create a datum point pattern along the curve and then assemble the chain links including a "flexible" master link to accomodate for the different in the sum of the links vs the total length of the chain.Chain model with Pro/ENGINEER

I have downloaded the creo 2.0 student edition, after installing when i open software the error is came, fatal error and software is not open , please anyone tell me what is the solution or how to fix it?   Foloowing snap shot is the window of that error

I have a laptop that I take to school and a workstation I use at home, can I install the student version on both computers? Can I use the same download and license?'Creo 2.0Thanks

Before I sent my laptop to the company for repairs, Creo Parametric 2.0 Student worked perfectly. When I got my laptop back one of the first things i did was re-run Creo Parametric, and It gave me a warning message saying that it was unable to use my licence or something. That is no longer an issue but the issue now is that it doesn't have "write access". I'll attach a picture.

We installed MED-100WIN-CD-390_M110_Win32-64 on a Windows 8.1 laptop ultrabook (ideapad, corei5 processor). Installation seemed to go perfectly well and said that Parametric and Direct both installed successfully. However, there is no exe file for either found on the computer when done. Searching the harddrive, it seems that the files are there in: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\ however, there is no exe file.   We tried installing it multiple times, same result. Please help!

I tried to install Creo 2.0 but each time stoped at "Applications" step as the installation was not listing applications. I tried the following steps as described below.   Step 1: Downloaded the "Creo2_setup.exe" and double clicked on it. Step 2: Selected "Install new software" and pressed "next" at the right bottom corner Step 3: Accepted license agreement by selecting "I accept the license agreement" and pressed "next" at the right bottom corner. Step 4: Entered my user name "mxislam2@wichita.edu" and password and selected "Log In" Step 5: Entered my product code in "Install Licensing" and license file was available in "License Summary" and pressed "next" Step 6: Applications step. The applications were not populating and "install" button was grayed out and I was stopped there. I tried couple of times with rebooting but couldn't change anything.   Please help me to solve this.

On, 24th August 2014, after installing Creo 2.0 student edition when I started the "Creo Parametric 2" it gives a error message like below   "Fatal error encountered. A traceback has been written to C:\Users\Public\Documents\traceback.log Please send it to Technical Support"   Please help me to solve this so that I can use Creo 2 smoothly.    

Hi,I just started Engineering Design course this semester and I'm trying to download Creo 2.0. The problem is, I have a Mac, does Creo 2.0 only run on Windows? Thanks,Sherry

Saw this fancy video on the youtubes.....It's one of the main reasons I'm considering switching all of our design from SW to Creo 2 since we still use a spaceframe chassis.The problem I'm having is when I go to insert profiles, I get an error saying that the profiles that included with the software were created with a commercial version of the software. So it makes sense that the profiles won't load since EFX uses profile information stored in a part file. I have no problem with that...I can make my own profiles and have done so many many times in SW- I just don't know how to create my own profile in EFX since the custom profile folder is off-limits to me, and there don't seem to be any tutorials on the subject after searching for some time now.Thanks for any help!Trent

Hello All, Don't laugh.I have the Student Edition of WF5 and had to install a new network card. Now WF does not run. I get a pop-up window that displays the license server is UP.The subsequent line is: Warning: (-3) No license server system for this featureThere is a license server manager / vendor daemon running but its for other vendors.I re-installed WF 5 using the product code and my ID but had the same net result.Any help would be appreciated to get this install up and runng.Best regards,Ricardo

Good evening together,I am writing here because I have a serious problem to install pro engineer / creo 2.0 on my new computer.I just startet my studies in Germany at the AKAD University for which I need the programm installed. The University supplied a CD/DVD with the programm - however the installation does not work because the system immediately creates an error message saying that coretools_sh.dll is missing. I short search with my good friend google showed that it is not a good idea to just download dll files from any site. But I need to install creo 2 somewhow.The System I am trying to install the programm on is windows 8.1. I am getting to the end of my computer/IT knowledge and don't know what else to do since I already followed 3 online "tutorials" which should fix the problem but didn't.I appreciate any kind of help.Thank you in anticipation!

We are trying to see if our mentor can download Creo so he can help us out with our designs even when he cannot make it to the meetings. Is it possible for him to download Creo or is it student-only?

Has anyone seen the new Transformers movie yet? Just watched it last night. Awesome. Here's the trivia question. Which FIRST FRC team picked a cameo during the scene in the barn/workshop?

I am unable to install the license file for student version of Creo 2.0.I am unable to enter the product license code.Please help me as fast as possible.

is it possible with Creo 2.0 Parametric Student Edition to welding ?

Hi,I am currently a high school student looking to get into CAD. I have spent a lot of time with Inventor but I would like to move on to better software. I mainly do stuff with VEX parts for my robotics team but I'm having issues. Is it possible to import Autodesk parts into Parametric? Here is the link to the VEX parts I use http://www.autodesk.com/education/competitions-and-events/vex/recommended-software (the 2013/2014 version near the bottom), if that helps. I know with Creo 3.0 this is possible but I'm unsure about the Student 2.0 version.Any comments you guys may have towards this would be much appreciated!Thank you!Jake

Hi,Quick update for everyone using the FIRST Windchill sever @ http://firstrobotics.ptc.com/Windchill. PTC is in the process of updating this server from Windchill 10.1 to Windchill 10.2. As we make this move, we'll be consolidating all the PTC Academic programs onto a single server located in Needham, MA. This is an exciting move for us and consolidating all the programs will make things much easier for PTC to management and for participants to work with.Fear not, this change will not impact you or your work. It will be a software update and all your data is safe. Nothing is being removed. PTC will simply update the Windchill software and next time you log in, you be connected to the latest and greatest version of Windchill. Our plan is to comlete the update and "go-live" before the end of August. I will share updates along the way to let you know about the progress and any potential service interruptions. -ScottPS. As part of this process, PTC will be shutting down the old Windchill

Hi people, please advie me on how to do a vshaped groove on a cylinder. Its rather urgent, please help me people. Thanks!

after opening creo parametric its showing the message below and closing

I would like to be able to find the rotational moment of inertia of an assembly (that is, to disegnate which parts move around the axis and get the moment for those parts together). There are several different materials involved in these parts. I have the density (kg/m^3) of all the materials. I tried setting mass poperties but everthing in the window is greyed out or locked. And even if I could set that, I am unsure how to find the moment. How do I go about doing this? I could do it one part at a time and sum if needed, since inertia about the same axis is additive.

I am an absolute beginner with CAD. I am trying to model a bolt and nut so that I can test it failing under various condidtions. I Have been following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyMfcRl71do which is very useful, although I only have a student account. Just as I was about to get to putting the thredad on my bolt, the video at 14.53 tells me to open a file called unf_external_thread_profile. Which I dont have. Can anyone help me with this?Also I have built the bolt so far need to convert it from inces to mm, is this possible.Sorry to ask such basic questions, but like I say this is my very first time using CAD.CheersMarcus

I have a problem and I hope enyone could help me with that.How can I create a .mtl library at the First Windchill server?I save the .mtl-file in my workspace but i couldn't check it in. Also the .mtl-file was not shown in my workspace at my browser.What do I wrong?

Hallo ich habe soeben Creo 2.0 installiertund wollte eine Baugruppe erstellen leider konnte ich keine Baugruppe öffnen und keine neue anlegen Es wurde auch kein Fehler angezeigt. Es passiert einfach nichts. Einzelne Teile funktionieren wunderbar nur eben das erstellen einer Baugruppe macht Probleme gibt es da einen Trick was man beachten muss? würde mich über jede Hilfe freuenGrußTobias

In an effort to produce a more realistic solution, our team has begun to consider the use of carbon fiber as a material. However, how can we calculate weight and therefore cost of the aircraft? I understand that there is an excel worksheet for this based on design variables; is there a way we can edit this worksheet to account for the properties of carbon fiber?
