Creo Simulate 2.0 - AutoGEM button is gone

Hello Eeveryone. I am new to creo in general and have just started the PTC online training for Simulate.

My boss has me working on a project and wants me to run some structual FEA on some parts.

I was following along ok through the training material until it came to the "AutoGEM" command. I do not have a button on my ribbon for this when i open the part that i want to run the analyses on. If i open a new file or bring in a simple block model, the AutoGEM is back....

Any ideas on where my AutoGEM is going? Using AutoGEM is the only way the training material shows creating the mesh, so i am kind of lost until i figure this out.

The attached screen shot shows that the AutoGEM button is gone from the ribbon, replaced by the Mesh button.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Chase,

The reason why you cannot see the AutoGEM group in the Refine Model Tab is that you are in FEM Mode.

To go back to Native mode, click the Home Tab and then select the Model Setup icon the Set Up Group. This will open the Model Setup Dialog. Uncheck the FEM Mode box and click OK. This will return you to Native Mode.

Now if you go to the Refine Model tab you will see the AutoGEM Group.

Hope this helps.


Regards,

Mark
