Multibody - How to create a body intersection curve and what might it be good for?

  Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #14 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about the use of the “Intersect” Feature to create the intersection curve between two bodies (or quilts) You might remember that Creo 7.0 introduced Boolean Operations to perform merge, subtract and intersect operations between bodies. These operations act upon a “target” body which is modified during the Boolean operation. The resulting object there is still a body. In order to create an intersection curve, we therefore cannot use the Body Boolean operations feature, but will use the “Intersect” feature within the “Editing” group.   Starting with Creo 7.0, this “Intersect” feature allows to select bodies as references. In this first example, we select Body 1 (yellow box) and Body  (grey cylinder) and get the full intersection curve as a result. This is illustrated in the image below. (Result is shown in small overlay image)   Note that you could also select just a single body in combination with one or multiple surfaces to get a partial intersection curve. In the example illustrated below we create the intersection curve based on a selection of the grey body 2 and 2 selected (red) surfaces of the yellow body 1.   Finally, what could this intersection curve be used for? Intersection curves allow for a fast creation of a quilt representing the surface contours that are covered by the intersection (in particular for closed curves). You can for example use the curve generated in the first example as input to create a designated area. The image below shows the “Designated Area” feature with the closed intersection curve as input when placed on the yellow Body 1. The resulting quilt is illustrated in the small additional image.   Starting with Creo 9.0 and higher you can also divide/split these surfaces based on those curves. Watch the video below to see an example use case of this. And as I was at video creation, I thought I could also re-emphasize the usage of Body visibility controls The usage of intent surfaces created by features such as “Divide Surface” and “Boolean Operations”     Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo Parametric- Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Multibody – A Geometry Re-use Use Case that became possible with new capabilities in Creo 10.0

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #20 in this multibody blog series.   Today’s blog is about illustrating a use case around geometry re-use that became enabled with the new appearance (and reference) propagations in Creo 10.0’s Body Boolean and Split Body features.  (see Multibody: Appearance and Reference Propagation for Boolean Operations (ptc.com) )  In essence we added two new options to Body Booleans as shown in the image below.   Those options allow you to control color propagation and reference propagation. That means for the below example, that when you subtract the orange and white bodies from the green eyelet part, we can propagate the color to the corresponding mating cut faces, and transfer references from the original to the new surfaces, so that for the attached annotations automatically move to the cut surfaces.       So, what is this good for? An example use case for this might be a scenario where you have standardized cut-outs for a connector where you model the cut-outs as fully detailed and annotated bodies in a library part.   These bodies will then be inserted along with their annotations into the connector part where we then subtract and pattern them. During the subtract operation we can then not only create the target cut-out geometry, but also have the colors and the annotation references be transferred to the cut-out surfaces. All the sematic references of these annotations would thus continue to show in a semantic query for selected annotations. Here you see a video illustrating the workflow for the above example in Creo 10.0     Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative and this is a valuable use case for you. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo Parametric - Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin
