Question

Simulate Results Template .rwt not showing in drop down menu.

Simulate results templates are context sensitive, that is they only show up in the drop-down menu if they apply to the analysis type selected. 

 

Templates can be stored for re-use in a common folder.

config file setting      sim_pp_template_dir      path

A programming error in CREO that has been present up to CREO 4 M020 prevents some templates from showing due to the context sensitive filtering being done by CREO.

 

The fix is to edit the header in the .rwt file using a text editor such as notepad or notepad+ +

 

This is my specific example.  There may be additional issues with this header for varying analysis types.

 

Here is the incorrect header.

<results>
<header product="mechanica" studytype="4" analysistype="8" nonLinearTemplate="true"/>

 

Here is the corrected header.

 

<results>
<header product="mechanica" studytype="4" analysistype="8" nonLinearTemplate="false"/>

 

I posted this because I had solved this years ago, but lost and forgot the solution.

If you find this useful for other .rwt header errors, please post your solution.
