Blog Post 01 -    I wrote a blog post about the topic of Multibody – Intro, Model tree interaction and What’s that default body doing? I figured it made sense to provide a more thorough explanation that would attempt to answer all the questions likely to come up. Check it out and if you have any additional questions/comments, add them under the blog post itself. Thanks! Martin (view in My Videos)   Back to Creo 7.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!

The best advice for anyone that has trouble in Sketcher is to keep the sketch simple. Do not try and make a single sketch that encompasses the entire model shape with all cuts and rounded or chamfered edges. Rather, create multiple sketches that are simple, with fewer entities. Fewer entities are easier to control when you start making design changes. Take this muffler model, for example:        The first solid geometry for this model started as this:        Followed by this:      Then this:        Simple sketches of few entities were created, and the solid geometry started to take shape. The sketches should consist of small bites of geometry, not the whole shape at once. For more on Sketching and other topics, check out PTC University's Creo: Fundamentals and Productivity Tools!

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #6 in this multibody blog series.   I got asked recently : How can I display a user-defined body parameter in the model tree? If you are interested in that as well, here is how you do it. Let’s walk through an example step-by-step.   Step 1) Let’s assign a body parameter (and let’s call it for example “MY_BODY_PARAM”)   Step 2) Open the Model Tree Columns display dialog   Step 3) Select the Type: Body Params     Step 4) You might notice that the list shows system parameters related to bodies (e.g. PTC_ASSIGNED_MATERIAL), but not the newly added user-defined parameter  Step 5) Manually enter the user-defined-parameter (in our example “MY_BODY_PARAM”) into the Name field     and click the double-arrow to move it into the displayed columns     Step 6) Click “OK” and ensure model tree columns are displayed. Now you should be able to see your body parameters as part of the displayed model tree columns   q.e.d. 🙂  I hope that helped.   Back to Creo 7.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin
