Select Volume Region for Max Prin Strain Measure in Creo Parametric Simulate 2.0?

[danderson]

Hi,

Please confirm that it's not possible to select a Volume Region in a part for a Simulate measure of Max Prin Strain while in Creo Parametric Simulate 2.0 (m120) ?

Trying to use a volume region for a feasibility study where a strain measure tied to a volume region.

This selection works in Creo Simulate 3.0 but appears not to be available in Simulate 2.0

Thanks

Don Anderson

Don,

I cannot in 2.0 M100

I can in 3.0 M060

Looks like a Creo 2 limitation.

Charles,

The only way I found that I could do it was to first assign the volume region to a layer and then select the layer for the measure.

Don,

Nice one.

Perhaps you should mark yourself as correct and get the star for tenacity?

[danderson]

Hi Charles,

It appears that selection by layer fails to work. The measure fails to report any values during the analysis.

Have you found a way to tie a strain measure to a volume region in Creo 2?

Looking like I will have to bounce back and forth between Creo 2 and Creo 3 for this project.

Thanks,

Don

That's intriguing.

I managed in 2.0m100 using your layer method. See below.

I should have chosen a model that I could hand calc. I have no idea whether the measure is a sensible value.

Model attached if you want a look.

Hi Charles,

I will need to look into this further. My analysis involves using a non-linear analysis with a non-linear material.

Changing yours to non-linear and it still works so there must me something else going on with my model.

I will investigate further and get back to you on what I find.

Thank you for looking at this so quickly!

No problem,

A welcome distraction from a particularly troublesome study.
