I am using Creo Simulate - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M070
Looking for guidance on how to use stress and/or deformation results from an assembly of parts... and then use those as an input to a more detailed analysis of each component piece part.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for confirmation. Please close the tread then.
You may add measures to get more details.
Thanks for your reply-
I am familiar with measures but don't believe the ones I really need are there?
I could measure displacements on each part and use a forced displacement constraint at appropriate locations on the piece part BUT that won't let me optimize that part because any geometric changes would negate the validity of those displacement constraints.
I could measure stress, but stress is not an input for a new analysis and is related to displacement.
I think I need to measure "forces at the boundaries of the part of interest???" but one can only sometimes get valid forces at the constraint locations of the original assembly I think.
I've never done this before: If you have more insight into how I can do this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

How to measure resultant force for a specific component in Creo Simulate
Create a measure as following steps:
1. Measure under Home tab > New
2. Select Force, Resultant as Quantity
3. Select Components as Spatial Evaluation
4. Select the first component and second component.
That certainly looks like the correct answer, thank you. I don't know how I failed to find it when looking around. I seem to recall that the only force resultants I could get from Creo measures where at points that were constraints for the assembly. I'll take a peek as soon as I can. Thanks very much.
