Rick Eiermann, Technology/Engineering Teacher at Tahanto Regional Middle/High School in Boylston, MA posted this video of his students designing, making and racing their Scalextric4Schools slot cars. Well done to Rick and his students!. YouTube video - http://youtu.be/jkBjiryXKKEScalextric4Schools home page - http://www.scalextric4schools.org

I purchased a student edition of Wildfire 4.0 for training local students. The training locally has ended and now I want to remove the software from my computer and send the CDs to a student in another state. How can I unregister the software on my computer so that a new student can register it on his computer?

Hi, I am now recieving the following error in a dialog window when using Pro/E:License request failed for featureRequesting PROE_StudentEdition5....<File_Path>: (-2) Invalid license file syntax. When I click OK the program exits.How can I fix this. Please advise.Thank you.

PTC Creo can perform Boolean operations on shapes and subtracting an object from a block of material creates an exact negative or mould.    The attached document explains how to do this.

Since it was first introduced, SLS has been the Rolls Royce of 3D printing. Selective laser sintering produces strong, highly detailed models. The obstacle to widespread adoption has always been the cost of machines and materials. All that might be about to change with the imminent launch of the 'Form 1' machine.

As a part of my project I'm modelling the design in ProE, I strucked with this flexible rope design and tie this rope to a stand in Proe, will it works in ProE or else I have to go for any other Mechanical Software, If it works in ProE Please give me the solution as early as possible.

Hi Community,Excuse me for my bad english and my unknowledge about Creo, I am a newbie I am a Student wich has to work with that software at home.After install i have a problem now during starting the software : (translation :Creo will be closed because the quality agent can´t start. Code 0x00000002.Do you have any ideas ?Thank you very much,CK

after a successful creo 2.0 student edition installation when i click on the creo parametric 2.0 the screen shows blank.my system configuration is:intel pentium 3.013gb ram32 bit operating system

How can I edit a part of an assembly without leaving the assembly im working on? I was able to this with Pro/E but Im not having the same luck in Creo..

I am getting an error mesage that the file is either corrupt or invalid when I trying to extract the files from the downloaded zip file of Creo version 2. I am using Windows XP and the downloaded file size is 4.2 Gb.

Hello Users,Have you tried to hide the attachments linked to PR or Document (application data) . Basically the WTDocument info page should be visible to the users but the attachments should be hidden . Foget the ACL's , I tried to check if Security Labels would be helpful , but unfortunately they are supported for Document / PR and not for the attachments linked to these objects. Moreover Application Data column in DB has no column for Security Label ! ...Any help would be highly appeciated and highly useful. ThanksSriram Rammohan WABCO - Vehicle Control Systems

How do I combine several freeform shapes to make an object that can be exported as an .STL file?The eyes and nose of this animal are seperate freeform objects. I would like to extrude a cut through the "snout" to make a mouth. I'm sure somewhere I saw a command to convert freeform to object- I'm looking for some kind of boolean add command I think!Any pointers?Best regardsPeter

Can we get instructions for uploading the creo document into windchill, please? Thanks

As a Trainer I have recently received the University Edition of Creo 1.0. Having easily run Pro Engineer WF5 on my iMac using Parallels v7, I didn't anticapte any problems when I ran Creo 1.0. Unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way. The main problem is when I extrude the 'ghosted' image does not appear. If I click to accept then it extrudes fine. Other what may be related problems are the 'remove material' icon not greying out when I move a feature backwards and forwards through a surface. Any ideas? I'm worried that it may be a Parallels related problem - but there was no issues with WF5. Thanks in anticipation. Paul

Hi, I'm problem with creo 2.0 i've installed all files,but when I open Creo Parametric the code error that I find is 0x060000c0. I've installed the new version of Quality Agent but the problem still live!

The camera footprint calculator sheet uses a required time for detection of 0.5 seconds and required time for identification of 5 seconds. We were told to ignore the pixel requirements for each in this sheet; are we also ignoring these time requirements? They appear to be from last year.

Just a quick (potentially unnecessary?) question. I noticed that the height of corn is missing from all of our documents. How tall is the corn, and what variety is it? Or does it not necessarily matter? Though, I have seen that corn, depending on the variety, crops can vary between 4 and 16 feet tall, and this could affect how high of an altitude we fly at.Thanks!Kathryn DuFresneProject Manager - Team PhoenixHighland Tech Charter School - Anchorage, AK

Hi!My team has been working in OpenVSP while desigining our aircraft and is ready to start utilizing the model as a part and adding external/internal components via Creo Elements Pro. Previously, I believe, we have exported the VSP files as .stl files, and Creo has been able to recognize those. However, .stl files will not show up when we attempt to open them with Creo. What could we be doing wrong? Should we be exporting as a different file type? Or is there a seperate process to importing these files to Creo?Thanks a bunch!Kathryn DuFresneTeam Phoenix - Anchorage, AK

I have a circle and would like to create a centreline through it, so that I can use it as a reference when doing dimensioning. How would I do this?

I have some questions regarding the corn borer calculations to determine the amount of increased yield. In order to do so, we need to input the number of larvae found, the expected survival rate of the larvae, and the expected yield of the crop per bushel. Is there a standard that all participants are meant to utilize on these topics? We are looking at the suggested calculator from the University of Illinois, but we were not finding explicit answers to these questions in the webinar or module on the subject.

Problem: If i make a rectangular extrusion that is 100 wide then off set a datum plane 50 away from the edge it will be centered. If I edit the original piece to be 200 the off set datum plane remains 50 from the edge, no longer centered.Question: How do I center a datum plane between two edges, so that it is symetrically constrained?Brian Mc DonaldTechnology TeacherKinnelon HS, Kinnelon NJI am aware that I could create the initial object symectrical to the origin, but my students don't always do this.

Performance RotorcraftThe perfornance rotorcraft mathcad worksheet asks for a minimum airfoil drag. Is this in regards to the propeller and if so how is it calculated?This worksheet calculates power consumption for forward flight, vertical climb, etc. However, it seems that the calculations are based around only one motor with one propeller lifting the entire vehicle takeoff weight. On the multirotor there are six motors providing thrust to lift the entire vehicle weight.

I was checking the Process Statement worksheet and I've noticed the steps in detailed design process(3)such as "check that the wing satisfies the structural criteria at the maximum weight" and "check that aircraft is stable and has sufficient performance." Is there an aerodynamic program for such steps or is there certain factors we have to calculate? In that case, how do we actually find out if our models (fuselage/wings/etc) integrate together to actually fly? And also, I've noticed documents such as FAA Technical Readiness Criteria / FAA Rules, andalso tools like Aerodynamic characterization Mathcad sheet. But I couldn't find it anywhere. Any help?
