Hi PTC, is it somehow possible to make Mathcad, BMX module and finally Pro/MECHANICA modules works together? Is'nt it maybe even useless to use BMX and Mathcad together? (because of relatively high price of both). What about ratio price/effectivity? Lets say that we have these modules and we would like to use them together to find the best design solution of our product for us.(piston shape, propeller, gear wheel, thin shaft, some part of huge mechanism, robot arms and so on...) If i remember correct the BMX module works with Simplex algorithm but additionally we can define almost any onther math method with Mathcad. Our design case study would look like: - Find the best design solution of our product with difficult geometrical shape - Whole geometrical shape of our product would be defined with parameters (some of them with relations) - Design variables would be given by mathematical expressions in Mathcad and the results of that would be for example some range of parameters - Selected parameters or all of resulted parameters would be used as input variables for BMX sensitivity, feasibility and finally the geometrical shape optimisation. - BMX would find the best geometrical shape for us - Nextly defined geometrical shape would be evaluated in Pro/MECHANICA to find the best mechanical properties like stiffness, max stresses, min deflections with minimal total weight and as highest lifetime of the product as is possible..) Our questions: 1) Would be possible to do such an advanced design study of the product with using of mentioned additional modules for Pro/E? 2) How the export and import of the parameters works between the modules in such a case? Thanks in advance
