Spinal Bend - WF4

dgschaefer · ‎Mar 09, 2011

It's been years since I created a spinal bend and I've been trying to
help a coworker create one in a part. My memory of the commands and
their function is failing me.

Anyone got a link or PDF of a 'how to' on spinal bends to refresh my
memory?

Thanks,

Doug Schaefer

Slightly off topic, but what Pro/E module do you need to be able to create a spinal bend? I downloaded the example part (Spinal_bend_initial.prt) and opened it in WF4. However, the first step of the instructions: Create a spinal bend by selecting Insert > Advanced > Spinal Bend doesn't work as I don't see Spinal Bend in the menu. It's not even greyed out. I'm assuming my license doesn't allow that functionality but I was wondering what specific module is required.

rrich · ‎Mar 10, 2011

You open this by a config option allow_anatomic_features YES.

Ron

dgallup · ‎Mar 10, 2011

Tried that, even restarted Pro/E with that in my config.pro file. No joy.

In Reply to Ron Rich:

dgschaefer · ‎Mar 10, 2011

Hmm, I would have thought the config option would do it. Double check
the option is set in a config file that loads at start up.

It works for me in WF4, but our licenses are pretty much everything.

We have only foundation and it shows up. I do have the config option
enabled as well.

Make sure this is set in your local config.pro & also verify that it is not to
NO in the config.sup file

dgallup · ‎Mar 11, 2011

allow_anatomic_features is not in config.sup and it is set to yes in my config.pro. We have very old licenses, they were upgraded once to the original Foundation & AAX but that was over 10 years ago. I'm sure there must be some Pro/widget micense that we are missing. I was hoping someone could nail it down.

ptc-726111 · ‎Mar 11, 2011

Hi Doug,

Attached is an image of a living-hinge using the spinal bend (Pro-E WF 3.0). In the config.pro, the option allow_anatomic_features is set to yes. I used a family table to show both the opened and closed positions of the model.

I will be back in Columbus on Monday (in Dayton today). As the spinal bend is challenging to create, and If you still need help and are willing to pay for consulting expenses, I would be happy to come to your office and help you model this feature next week.

Regards,
