Did You Know? Creating Lattice Features with Creo 4.0

One of the benefits of additive manufacturing is that it lets you manufacture complex shapes that would otherwise prove difficult or impossible to produce with traditional processes. Imagine sending these models to be injection molded:But with additive manufacturing, lattice structures

Did You Know? PTC Creo 3.0 Enhancements: Standard Hardware and Fasteners

With the release of PTC Creo 3.0, PTC Creo Parametric users now have access to an expanded library of standard parts and fasteners as well as an intuitive user interface to speed up the process of adding hardware to your assembly design. Jim Barrett Smith, Product Manager at PTC, gives an overview of the new capabilities:   To define the position of a fastener, select the datum point, axis, or a hole. You can select two aligning surfaces to define a fastener connection with a thread. Or, you can select two opposing surfaces to define a fastener and nut connection.   Next, select a fastener from the comprehensive library of fasteners. Choose the size of the thread or measure the thread size using an existing hole.     Selecting a fastener from the standard parts library   You have the option to set the length of the fastener yourself, or to have it set automatically. You can also control the hole tolerance and choose whether to have a counterbore on the top, the bottom, or both.   Setting the length of the fastener     There is a 2D preview in the dialog which updates with as you define the fastener details. Furthermore, you can click Preview to see a 3D view of the fastener in the graphics area.   You can get a 3D view of the fastener by selecting Preview     When you are satisfied, click OK to assemble the fastener.   After a fastener is assembled, you have the ability to reassemble or redefine it. Furthermore, if you reassemble an existing fastener onto a pattern, you will have the option to pattern the fastener. This saves significant time and effort.  If needed, you can choose to delete all patterned fasteners by simply selecting one and clicking Delete.     Check out our video tutorial on the PTC University Learning Exchange (“PTC Creo Intelligent Fastener (Lite)”) to learn more. Stay tuned to our “Did You Know” blog series as we cover all of the exciting, new enhancements in PTC Creo 3.0.     For more in-depth product feature explanations, visit our Tech Tips area.   Have some ideas about what PTC Creo product features you’d like to learn more about? Send me a message or leave a comment below and we’ll write up the best ideas from the community. Thanks for reading, looking forward to all of your feedback!   In case you missed it, check out our recent Did You Know posts covering PTC Creo 3.0 enhancements: Flexible Pattern Tool in the PTC Creo Flexible Modeling Extension Aligning Freestyle Geometry

Multibody – Another look at patterning bodies with Creo 11 and higher

Welcome to Blog Post #21 in Our Multibody Series!   In today’s post, we’re diving into a powerful new capability introduced in Creo 11—the ability to reference an existing point/coordinate system based pattern in a geometry pattern of type "point" pattern. This enhancement can significantly streamline your workflow, especially when working with complex body patterns. To get started, check out the What’s New video linked below. The first section highlights the benefits of the new “From Pattern” option in point patterns, which helps accelerate regeneration using the “Identical” or “Flexible” regeneration modes. Around the 50-second mark, the video also demonstrates some useful body patterning techniques.     While the video covers the basics, here are a few key tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this feature: Patterning Bodies with Coordinate Systems Use a pattern of coordinate systems to define both the position and orientation of each body pattern member precisely. Using Curves for Placement of Coordinate Systems If your bodies lie on a plane, consider sketching a curve with points that define their future locations. Then, replicate a coordinate system along that curve using the “Follow the Curve” option. This approach makes it easy to align all coordinate systems—for example, pointing them inward. Leverage the “From Pattern” Option When creating a Point Pattern, use the new “From Pattern” option to inherit the structure of an existing pattern. Set the Alternate Origin When defining the body pattern, be sure to select the first coordinate system as the alternate origin for the lead pattern member. This step ensures the correct orientation relationship is maintained during replication. Merging Patterned Bodies When merging patterned bodies, always select the body pattern feature in the Modifying Bodies collector of the Boolean Merge feature. This ensures the model updates parametrically if the number of bodies in the pattern changes.   Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin
