To whom it may concern,I was able to install and run Creo parametric 2.0 Student edition however when I try to open the PTC learning Connector nothing loads inside the box. I have tried reinstalling with no success. please advise.Thank you in Advance

Everytime we try to create the Wing in CREO 2.0 using the instructions given in MathCAD.This was there error we kept on getting.Has anyone else experienced this problem and how did they fix it?

I am using a student edition of creo parametric 2.0. The problem is that whenever i select any option in the help menu, the software hangs. Even though the internet is working properly, the online help wont work and rather hangs. Since i am new to creo, I would appreciate help with this issue.

Is the specs sheet for the "Pure Rotorcraft" in the Baseline Cad Models folder unfinished? It seems to be missing a bunch of items that our team needs to complete the Mathcad worksheets.

While working on the configurator - Both of my teams noted that the weight estimator has information filled in for wing planform area, horizontal tail planform area, vertical tail planform area, wing aspect ratio, takeoff weight...... Last year we got this information from VSP since we were designing everything. This year since we have the cad models where do we get this information or what we are using from the cad models?

Hi,I cannot find the tutorials; CAd_Tutorial_Pusher or CAD_Tutorial_otherconfigs on the website provided plms4schools.ptc.com.I was able to sign in but when I search for those I cannot find them. Please helpThanks,Jon

Want to take your CAD files with you on your iPod, iPad or iPhone? Go for it with Creo View Mobile. This FREE app will let you you view any CAD files that have been saved in the PVZ format. Just pick File, Save A Copy and change the file type to "Creo View PVZ". Easiest way to get it on your mobile device is to email it to yourself and open on your mobile device with the Creo View Mobile app installed. This is a great way to create a digital portfolio or engineering notebook of your designs to share with FIRST judges at the competitions.If your team is using Windchill for CAD data management, you'll want to pick up Windchill Mobile app. It comes with Creo View Mobile built-in and allows you direct access to the files you've uploaded in Windchill.

Download does not work.....results " can not find file"Have tried both types of downloads several times

Hi All, I have a problem here when i open any part for simulation using creo simulate 2.0 stand alone app it opens the part and suddenly blink & disappear without displaying any warning or error. I am using creo 2.0 student edition date code M010. I am using this on windows 8.1, 4 GB of ram, Intel core i3 3rd Generator Processor and 1 Gb Graphics of Nvidia Geforce 630M.Kindly help. Thanks

I believe I downloaded all of the academic version from your website, it was 4.17 GB, although the web site said something like 4.485 GB   I thought I had done everything correctly I followed the Creo 2 Student Installation Guide instructions   The icons all install on the desktop and under programs, but they don't work   I got an email saying I have a backup license in the event the one downloaded gets lost I guess   Nothing seems to work

We are chugging along and are a little stuck on step 2.1.5 in the process workflow: For step 2.1.5. in the process workflow, we must "Using provided CAD models, place the major components in your aircraft fuselage to make sure there is room"... Where the heck are these .prt or .asm files? We can't find them anywhere and there is no reference to them in the sensor catalogue section of the Detailed backround guide. We do have to attach them to the Baseline CAD model right? We have made choices for our sensors based on the V. Sensor (Payload) Selection Guidelines and Catalog Options section of the Detailed Backround guide, but we thought there was an actual document or location called Sensor (Payload) Selection Catalog. where actual CAD files of the sensors would be provided. Are we mistaken? Do we need to determine mounting hardware for step 2.1.5. or is "attaching" in creo sufficient? Are there presentation notes posted anywhere? Such as a pdf or ppt of the presentation during webinars?

As a teacher at a high school, I use the PLMS system to supplement the student learning. It is a very good way for the students to gain additional instruction to support their in class efforts. This semester, I went to add my new students to my account, so I could assign them course modules, and I discovered that I could not add a group / students to my setup. In fact, after trying a few things, I completely lost the administration option from my account. What happened? I would really like to get this back. The demonstrations, procedures and multiple choice questions were a great supplement to the classroom project work. Thanks for any help or support.-Brett

Just recently got the PTC Creo and downloaded it on my computer. When trying to open the Creo Parametric or any other PTC product, I keep getting this message. Any suggestions on what to do?

Its been a quiet build season for both FTC and FRC. Now that FTC teams have started competitions and FRC is set to start next week, I'm wondering how everyone is doing? There's still so much to think about; drivers station, battery cart, shop in-a-box, autonomous code, final tweaks and repairs, FMEA, travel logistics, BOM, engineering notebook, inspection checklist, scouting plan, buttons and so many more.Love to hear some updates from teams. What went well this year? What challenges did you overcome? Did PTC Robotalk prepare you for the season and your CAD designing?-Scott

Hi everyon e, I was wondering where exactlywe can aquire the scalable fuselage CAD model that the workflow refers to. does this refer to the basline platforms or is this a seperete file?

Has the mission planning sheet come out for the challenge for the 2013-2014 school year? I checked on the Getting Started Page and do not see it. Will it be a different one from what was used last year? The reason I ask is that I noted the camera footprint sheet takes about tall trees and there are no tall trees in Iowa....at least not on the corn field.

Does anybody know if this years RWDC has a Configurator excel file to use yet.

For the phase II airframe element design, are the teams expected to modify the basline CAD assemblies by creating their own payload and power supply elements in CREO and adding them to the airframe assembly? What kind of performance analysis are they to perform in MATHCAD?

Helical SweepsHi, just wondering if anyone can help with a complex helical sweep one of my students would like to create? The student has produced a helical sweep to represent a round bar and would now like to add a spring over the top of the bar (to wrap around it) so it follows the same shape. In other words they would like to produce a helical sweep around a helical sweep. Does that make sense and is this possible? Attached is a jpeg of the sweep the spring would need to wind around.Cheers

Besides the pre-made designs, will there be any individual motors available? If not can we have the cost of the motors and their specifications from the premade designs?

My team and I are stumped in a section of our design process. We are currently trying to estimate the gross weight of our designs (step 2.1.1.1). We have tools necessary for our design, (i.e. the Mathcad and Excel sheets as well as the Baseline CAD Models) but we don't know where to start. There are two different excel sheets that give weight estimations and we do not know which to use or how to get the specific inputs for them. Mathcad is also confusing us, as there are references made to FloEFD and if I'm not mistaken, we aren't using that software this year.Basically, we were wondering how to go about performing the gross weight estimation and when to start using the Mathcad sheets.Moreover, according to the workflow, after estimating the gross weight, we are to scale the model down so that our camera makes up 10-20% of the total weight. Does this mean we take the empty weight we estimated and resize it so that, for example, a 5 kg camera would be part of a 50 kg UAV?Thanks in advan

Hello, I am a student machine engineering and our proffesor recommended us to register AUDAX and PTC for downloading creo 2 student version for exercise.After several instalations and deinstalations not accepting licence at end I have problem with register Quality Agent, it*s written ¨if you call technical support about this problem report erorr 0x00000013 ¨ I use laptop Dell with windows 8. Pleace give me more information how to resolve that problem. Best regards Snezhana Misheva

PTC needs to shutdown the RWDC server today from 1:00-3:00pm EST to support an emergency situation in the datacenter. This is not part of our scheduled maintenance activities, but is required to support a critical need in the data center. My sincerest appologies for the service interruption. This should be a one-time occurance and I hope you will be able to work around the outage today.
