Creo 5.0 Premium Edition Standalone Educator CFD licence

Hi, I just installed the Creo 5.0 Premium Edition Standalone Educator edition of Creo in order to help mentor my FRC robotics team. I was excited to try out the new simulate capabilities. When I installed, I went into the "application feature" section of the installer, and saw that "Creo Flow Analysis" and "Creo Topology Optimization" were unchecked. I checked their boxes and continued installing.

 

Now, Creo simulate appears to work well, and topology optimization opens as well! Unfortunately, when I click "Flow Analysis", it tells me that "The selected functionality requires CFD Analysis License".

 

When I go to file->options->licensing, and click Refresh license list, I see an optional floating license called CFD_ADVANCED_PLUS_SET. If I select this floating module, it says that it's been activated, but still won't let me open flow analysis. It says:

 

Option CFD_BASIC not ordered, please contact your sales representative.
Option CFD_ADVANCE not ordered, please contact your sales representative.
Option CFD_ADVANCE_PLUS not ordered, please contact your sales representative.

What should I do? Is flow analysis actually included with the premium educator license?

 

Thanks so much,

~Max

Hello,

 

CFD is not working yet in any product code based license.

We are working on this, but sadly I can't tell you when it will be available.

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

open parametric.psf file in Notepad (path example ... E:\PTC\Creo5_040\Creo 5.0.4.0\Parametric\bin).

Check line starting with ... ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=

Add 10131 into parentheses.

The line should look like ... ENV=CREOPMA_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_some-name (10131)

 

Note:

  • 10131 is code number of CFD_ADVANCED_PLUS_SET
