Hi,I just learned about the creo machining feature and I am curious how to use it. If I have just a regular .prt file where do I start? The NC manufacturing seems to demand a .asm file and not a .prt file to import. I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or reading material.Thanks!

Communicating technical information is equally important as developing the technology. There are many use cases where engineers need to communicate about their design intent, ask for feedback from or share ideas with colleagues, or write technical instructions. To be successful, it is important to convey your intent with a clear message. I am sharing few writing tips based on the personal experiences of my engineering colleagues at PTC.   Understand your audience Before you begin, remember whom you are writing it for, your customers, your fellow engineers or may be your managers. Think proactively and plan your writing patterns of explanation by aiming your audience’s level of technical knowledge, abilities and level of expertise. Understanding their roles in an organization, their choices and what information they need from your writings is essential in shaping how you should write.   Keep it simple and short Brief it in simple and short – sounds easy, but is sometimes very

We see problems through different perspectives and practice several ways to solve them. Here are some simple yet effective measures I am using.   Define Identify your issue first! Exploring what exactly is going wrong isn’t always easy and may require you to think this over repeatedly.   If performance of your tasks/project is substandard, one of the reason could be that only a small module in your project is not performing well. Sometimes there may be an issue with the wider structure of your project. No matter what the source of the issue is, you may need to repeatedly check and verify the cause of the trouble before taking actions to address the symptoms.     Mark options Once you have your problem clearly defined, your goal is to find ways to solve the problem. Writing down your options will help you get an overview and help you prioritize.     Evaluate your options Now is the time to evaluate! Now, carefully analyze all of the possible alternatives b

I am pleased to announce that PTC University Expert Model Analysis (XMA) 2.4.2 was released on December 12th.  XMA 2.4.2 now supports Creo 4.0.   For more information on PTC University XMA, see our webpage on www.ptc.com.

  Students, young professionals as well as advanced users invest funds, efforts and time for training themselves for professional development, and all may have different preferences. Being at an early stage of my own career, I have been looking into training concepts and done quite some reading lately. Here are five recommendations based on my observations and reading. Let me know how you think about these and please leave a comment!   Choice Any learning content is effective only when it gives the learner an opportunity to explore, understand and apply their knowledge. This can be accomplished with many of today’s digital learning solutions, for example. Interactivity, access to digital resources, and project-based learning, are just a few keywords in this context. The value of each model is determined within the context and purpose of use. With the big amount of options, make sure to discuss with peers and your manager to get recommendations.   Confidence This is oft

Hi everyone,I failed solving the following problem. I reseached for posibilities now for 1 1/2 days but I didn't get it. Hopefully you can give me some good advice on following problem.My main goal is to get a Force - Displacement Diagram of a single part. It should be somehow like this:... and this is the situation:on the one side the part is fixed in all directions. On the other side it is fixed in y and z direction. So finally it behaves somehow like this: Video Link : 5830 So my "input" is the force and I want to know the dependant displacement at the tip of this part.What I tried yet:Using Creo mechanica. This failed totally, i don't see any method to simulate a single part with that.Creo SimulateStatic analysis: works fine but only for one single point in my diagram...dynamic time analysis: This seems to be the only method, to get a time-dependant analysis. I used "measurements" to analyse the displacement. But I don't find any useful Tutorial to do it the right way. I time depen

Overcoming obstacles! Well that’s exactly what challenges our problem-solving skills, right? Our learning journey may not always be straightforward. We face distractions, are struggling with a specific topic or struggle with planning our next steps. Today, I am happy to share some tips that I use to overcome my obstacles while learning. Please read on and give feedback – I hope you will find my article useful!     Avoid distractionsSource - Unsplash.com Running mind: Well that’s the most common obstacles while trying to learn something. When I am having a hard time concentrating, I try a break and try to relax. Meditation helps me a lot, it helps in lowering the brain’s wave frequency and control our mind. It also develops good concentration and focusing ability. Surroundings: We might be in a place where there is a lot of noise, or too many people, or uncomfortable seating etc. Identify the cause first, then make a change.

Being a good listener has many benefits, especially in the workplace. People with well-developed listening skills tend to be more productive, better problem solvers, and have healthier interpersonal relationships. Today, I would like to share some of my observations and listening practices. Feel free to adopt and hopefully benefit from them!   Pay attention It’s of course a bit obvious but certainly the most important prerequisite to develop your listening skills. Consider the below points while you pay attention to become a better listener: Maintain eye contact - This indiates that you are with the person who you are talking to and focused on what the person is talking about. Avoid or ignore distractions – Mainly noise and actions in your surroundings, but could be different thoughts popping up in your mind, too. Avoid such surroundings and distractions to have a focused listening habit. Respond to engage – The speaker should feel that you are with to him/her with

Hi. My son has got very used to Creo Elements/Direct Express... the toolbars, etc are numerous and very intuitive.He's made the jump to Creo 4.0 but the interface looks totally different (and number of toolbars is like a single toolbar). Can anyone point me to any manual, video, or other resource that helps him make the leap from Direct Express to 4.0?Thanks..

Just ran into this article and thought it would be a good topic for discussion!   "Failure, mistakes, mishaps — they all play a vital role in helping employees learn and grow, too." The article suggests organizations to embrace rather than penalize mistakes so employees will be able to take risks and try out new things and sees mistakes as an opportunity for learning and growth.   What are your thoughts on this?   I do agree with the theory, but I think this cannot be generalized - taking risks can be a good thing, but only to a certain extend and this really depends on your role and responsibilities. I also think while you may be willing to take risks, you are not doing this because you are wanting to fail. You take them but you are still hoping for a positive outcome. Thus, you will do the most possible to avoid failure.   In regard to training, you can approach this from two sides: You fail: You now know where your gaps are and can take training to improve your

Hi everyone, I was wondering someone could help me out? I'm looking for a tutorial on how to perform thermal analysis with regards to gravity. Also known as thermogravimetry. I use Creo 4.0, by the way.      

I am almost positive I've seen a video or read a tutorial somewhere that showed how to compare two different versions of the same model in Creo Parametric when connected to Windchill.  If I remember correctly, to get around the workspace limitations one of them was automatically renamed on the fly.  Does anyone remember seeing something like this or know where it's located?  Thanks!

Hi Exparts,   I am completely new in 3D modelling softwares. Because of some modelling requirements I have started learning from Youtube tutorials. The first chapter of the tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdlHQYHr4L8 uses PRT_CSYS_DEF Which has different xyz direction than what I have on my machine DEFAULT_CSYS. See image below. And because of that I am facing trouble in following the tutorial and dont get exactly what expected. I can undestand this is because the tutorial using different direction to draw while if i follow it exactly will make the drowigng on other direction and as a result it wont produce the same result. Especially when I use Extrude.   Can someone please help me to get exact direction of XYZ as shown on the tutorial.    

Hello, i wanna cut the shape of  a golf ball out of a plane shown in the picture in Creo Parametric. Any guide/tutorial on how to do that?  Thanks
