Creo 9.0 Options greyed out in "Mechanism"

I'm trying to create a spring in "Mechanism". What I did was I created two simple components in an assembly, and when the assembly is activated, I clicked Applications->Mechanism, and then a couple of options including "spring" are greyed out. in "insert" ribbon, only "servo motors" is available to select. All items in "properties and conditions" ribbon are greyed out. There is no "spring" option under mechanism tree.

 

I'm using Creo 9.0 Parametric. Can someone help?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

in both versions do following:

 

Click File > Help > System Information > System Information

... and search for Mechanism Dynamics

I guess in Creo 10.0 you will see it -AND- in Creo 9.0 you will not see it.

If I am right then ask your IT to reconfigure startup command in Creo 9.0.

Hi,

you need Mechanism Dynamics module license to have access to Springs.
