Student Edition does NOT include simulate-lite despite claims that it does.

Your website says the student edition comes with simulate-lite... but it does not. It is not listed when I go to >help> system information even though I very explicitely checked the box to install "simulate" during the installation process. What's up? How do we ACTUALLY get simulate-lite to work?

Simulate and simulate lite apparently do NOT load automatically with the student license... but they ARE available. I had to re-run the installation and then EXPAND a box next to "Creo" (as I recall) to see a list of subcomponents that would and would not be loaded. The simulate option was NOT checked. Once I checked it and finished that process it became available as a tab in Creo.

Hi,

  • open part
  • activate Applications tab
  • click Simulate button

It opens, but all menus are grey. More importantly, going to >file>help>system information lists mechanisms and lots of other packages but does not show simulate.

Hi,

1.] I think Simulate Lite module is not present in System information window, because it does not have any code assigned. It is free.

2.] What Creo version do you use ?

3.] Attach picture of Creo window before and after clicking Simulate button.
