I’m looking for a solution to build a Configurable Product in Creo that includes a mechanism.
Here’s the scenario:
- I have a rail mechanism with variable length.
- When a specific variant (length) is selected, I want the linear motion to be limited according to that selected length.
What I’ve tried so far:
- I created a Motion Skeleton inside the Configurable Product.
- The rail module was connected to the first body of the Motion Skeleton.
- The cradle module was connected to the second body of the Motion Skeleton.
- I was able to build variants using Variant Builder, but the problem is:
- The cradle’s position is driven by the Motion Skeleton.
- Changing the rail module length does not affect the motion range, so the cradle runs out of short rails.
- To fix this, I moved the Motion Skeleton into a new module to build different lengths.
- However, the Assign Choices function doesn’t work (red icon appears, and I can’t check the checkbox for length).
Question:
Has anyone successfully built a configurable assembly that includes a mechanism?
Any tips or best practices for combining Configurable Products with Motion Skeletons?
Anyone tried to build similar assembly when the configurable product had some mechanism?
