Hello, I am a mentor for an FRC Robotics team, and though my focus is on programming, one thing we are working on this year is to work in CADD.  I have been working my way through the "How to Model Almost Anything" Tutorial.  This is an invaluable resource.  I am trying to learn CADD so I can teach our members. The tutorials are invaluable.  Thank you for the wonderful product.  It is really easy to use in general.   FRC and all of our vendors provide .STEP files for all of our parts, and what we would like to be able to do is use them to model our robots.  II have successfully imported a gearbox and attached a wheel, However, I am confused when it comes to working models of moving parts that I import.  I think I understand how to do this with .asm files, but when I import a gearbox or a motor, what is the best way to turn it into a functional model?   Thank you again.   ~Mr. R^2 

Hi,   I am a user of PTC university. I have been following the course 'IOT UI development with Thingworx' and have been accessing the thingworx platform using the URL provided for a while now and it has been working perfectly. However, since the week of Christmas 2019, whenever i try to access the platform i am displayed the message 'Server error. Please confirm, if your portal environment is running.' or an NGINX error is shown. The server URL is: ptcu-thingworx83-ui.portal.ptc.io    Any advice to resolve this?    Thanks.   

Hi, my daughter tried to install the student version of Creo, however, when she got to the install licence section she hit enter and everything installed but obviously she had not input tje actual product code needed. We now get this error message and I'd like to know if someone can tell us how we can install this so that we can get the student version working and she can start to use the CAD software.    Any help would be appreciated  

this is one of the lines in (pim_installmgr.log)   The license request to ptc.com reported the following error: You have reached the maximum number of license requests available for your product type.. what is the procedure to get license.

I tried to download Creo student version after the first registration. I had 30days Free Trial for ensuring my computer could run Creo. After I confirmed, I tried to download a student version. But I could not get to the page to download because of the error message I got. what is Reference #9.a7f33f17.1576607990.6bc3fce8? It said the Invalid URL and showed this number. I deleted all old programs from the 30days free trial.   Can you help me?   Thank you.

We need help setting up our student robotics team with Windchill.  We use Creo Parametric for a student robotics team. When I try to set up the server in server management, an error is displayed on the web page:  https://academic.ptc.com/Windchill/app/#_ga= Not Found The requested URL /Windchill/_ga=2.161477629.1134609948.1576355806-210369770.1576109881 was not found on this server.

Hi, I have enrolled in the "Fundamentals of IoT Development with ThingWorx" course delivered by PTC University.   Among the prerequisites, I must register myself as a new student on the "Thingworx academic edition" portal using the "fundamentals83-2019-ptcu" access code. Unfortunately, it does not work. When I click on "Register Now", it says "Failed to register user. Please contact support at support@ptcu.com!".   Does someone know why?   Kind regards,   P.

Hi,   Please let me know the list of certifications available, certification syllabus, any preparation material, etc I am not sure if this is correct place to ask this question. But any help is appreciated.    

So in creo 4.0 I was downloading some normalized parts from libraries and now in Creo 6, It says that parts are created with commercial version of creo and creo crashes. Its not allowed anymore in newer versions to use these parts or Its some different problem?

Hi guys, I'm just getting started with Mathcad. Currently I'm trying to understand the different kinds of solvers. It seems to me there are three "basic categories":   1. "Single command Solvers", e. g. root, lsolve etc. where you just pick your appropriate solver and launch 2. "Solve blocks", which allow for separate guess values and boundary constraints, but seem to support only find, minerr, minimize, maximize and odesolve 3. The symbolic "solve" command, which seems to be for solving equations symbolically (but apparently also produces numerical solutions).   I don't quite understand what the latter two are for. What is their benefit? Aren't there plenty of solvers for everything (save maybe symbolic solutions) in the first "category"? So when should I use what? 🤔 *confused*   Any help would be much appreciated. Thanx.    

I was trying renew license on my creo 4.0 student license, but it wasnt worked, so I installed new creo M080 (i had M060). It worked fine, but i had problem with one of my projects. When i tried opened it wrote, that its not student license project (now I know that, it was just one SKF bearing that i downloaded), so I Installed M060, but it extremely slowed down. 3d graphic looks fine, but browser is horrible and its spreads to windows browser aswell. So when I close creo, windows browser is still slow. I need restart pc tu fix it. So I tried reinstall second time to M080 and its better than in M060, but still horrible. I am using .bat file to opening creo. I will try to open it normally

Hello Creo users, We are trying the new lattice tool and it doesn't work as expected. Unfortunately we are not able to generate something 😞 The final output ist a minimal surface body deformed and not even attached to the part.   Before:   After: It does not at all work like in this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5jNDt2vZqw   Does anyone has an idea why this fails?   regards

Hi, I am trying to download student creo and when prompted when downloading entered in the license the instructional PDF gave me, but when I try to start Creo Parametric, I get the Error "License request failed for the feature." How do I fix this?

Hello, I'm a university student and I installed Creo 5.0 for students, after opening there was an error message saying license file not supported for this version. Creo exits after I close the error message. I opened the license file in txt and it appears to be a Creo 4.0 license for K12. Please help

I requested a 10-seat Academic License for my FTC team to use on our team laptops.  Several team members do not have personal laptops or reliable internet access.  I thought this would be a good solution.    I received a blank email with a .dat file attached.  I can open the file in Notepad to see it's contents but I see no instructions on how to use this file.  I've called for support and simply got told to go fill out the support form to start a case or to send an email to creo-trial@ptc.com. I can't find the form.  I've received no response to the email request.    Downloading the student program, with each laptop using different user info, is a renewal nightmare.  I thought a since license for 10 seats would be simpler.    Does anyone know how I'm supposed to use the .dat file I received to set up the team laptops?

Hello, I'm a university student and I installed Creo 6.0 for students, after opening there was an error message saying license file not supported for this version.

Good Afternoon,   After successfully installing and using CREO 5 educational edition, i soon realised that the university i attend uses CREO 4, and i was unable to open my work i had done in CREO 5. I tried to install CREO 4 but it did not work, and in the process, it stopped CREO 5 from working also. After multiple attempts at uninstalling, reinstalling, uninstalling again and deleting files, i have came up with these two issues. When trying to install CREO 4, it will not install "CREO4 Platform Services", it just says unsuccessful and nothing else happens. When trying to install CREO 5, everything installs except Direct, Parametric, Layout and Simulate, which all say 'Pending Prerequisite'.   Just looking for any tips on how to resolve this issue, as big as i know it is.   Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to do the fundamentals course but when i click the link to launch ThingWorx it comes up with "You have been successfully logged out".  I click log in and the same thing keeps happening?. I've tried Chrome, Firefox and IE and cleared cache in them all.  It worked this morning but not anymore.

Created a login to PTCU Composer 2 weeks back- for ThingWorks Course  Was able to login till last Friday -  Now this is throwing back message as 'You have been successfully logged out' and not allowing to login after multiple attempts. Username and password are all correct. Same issue faced by multiple people from same Organisation.   Please look into this asap as the course need to be completed by 11 Nov 2019     ThanksVidya
