CREO Programming in Creo Version 8.0.5.0

[AG_9475718]

I am trying to automate the model generation of an assembly using Creo Programming. I am able to get to the point where I can read a file with all the inputs and generate the model. But after reading the file, I have to regenerate the model several times (almost 6 to 8 times) to completely get the final assembly. I want to automate the regeneration process as well. I am pretty new to Creo programming and I wanted to know if it is at all possible to write something in the code which can auto-regenerate the model for me and will give me the final assembly right after importing the file. Thanks for your time in advance.

Automating the regeneration process in Creo Parametric through Creo programming is a practical approach to streamline your modeling workflow.

To automate the regeneration of a model in Creo, you would typically use the Creo Parametric API. The API can be accessed via different programming interfaces such as J-Link (Java), Toolkit (C, C++), and VB API. Here's a conceptual outline of how you can approach this:

1. **Choose Your Programming Interface**: Decide whether you'll use J-Link, Toolkit, or another supported interface based on your programming proficiency and the specific requirements of your project.

2. **API Functions for Regeneration**: Look for API functions that trigger the regeneration process. For example, in J-Link, you might use a method like `RegenerateModel()`. This function will force the model to regenerate.

3. **Loop for Multiple Regenerations**: If your assembly requires multiple regenerations, you can place the regeneration function inside a loop. The loop can iterate a set number of times or until certain criteria are met (e.g., no further changes occur in the model).
