Multibody – FMX-Move: A simple body-based motion envelope cutout example

Hello all and welcome to another blog post in the multibody series.   Today’s topic represents an add-on to the previous post : How to “position” a body. The workflow example  in the below video explains in more detail how you can leverage these (previously discussed) positioning operations  to create a design like this very easily.   he intent here is to drive the cutout of the blue body parametrically based on the defined range of angular movement of the yellow pin. The workflow example makes use of the Flexible Modeling Move feature to create something like a “simplified motion envelope” driving the cutout opening in the blue body.      (view in My Videos) Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0+ Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Multibody -12 How does this all work with reference parts for MoldDesign and NC?

Some Creo modules or applications such as NC or mold design modules do not yet fully support multibody models (as of Creo 7.0/8.0).   Watch the below video to understand what you can do in these cases and how you can get to the required reference models for these downstream applications.   Thanks for reading and many thanks to my colleague Beat Fretz who provided this example model (view in My Videos) to me.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0+ Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Multibody - How to get rid of a body

(Remove a body versus hide a body vs delete body vs deleting/suppressing contributing features) Hello everyone and welcome to another blog post  in this Creo multibody blog series. Today’s topic: Various way to “get rid of” a body and their differences Let’s have a look at various concepts that you might want to apply depending on what you want to achieve. Creo offers the following: Hide/Show a body As with other objects you can use show/hide commands to control the visibility of bodies. This is just changing the visual appearance toggling the display for a selected body and does neither remove the body object from the model, nor its geometry or mass “Consume a body” in Boolean features Boolean features have a Keep body option, to control whether the tool bodies should be consumed in the operation or whether a copy of their geometry should be used for the Boolean operation. Consumed bodies are shown in the body folder depending on the tree filter settings.   “Remove body” feature This allows you to create a feature to consume a body. The body cannot be used further, and its geometry is removed. Note that the features are not removed or deleted but the geometry created by those features will not show anymore. Remove body is a feature so you can suppress or delete it or roll-back the model to before the Remove-Body feature to get the body back.   Would suppressing contributing features also work to get rid of a body? This could potentially work in very simple examples for cases where these contributing features have no dependent children features and none of the contributing features contribute to or impact other bodies as well. In contrast to that, the remove-body feature leaves the other design features intact and just removes the body at time of its regeneration. Note that the body is still active and used in regeneration states before the remove-body feature.   Good examples that illustrate the benefits and need for a remove body features (where suppressing features wouldn’t help or not be possible are:   a situation where you bring several bodies A,B and C into a part via a single import feature or copy-geometry, or merge/inheritance feature and you want to only remove body B. a situation where you mirror a part design having bodies A,B and C to get A’, B’ and C’ and you just want to get rid of B’     Delete a body The delete body command completely deletes the body from the model for situations where you want to entirely get rid of the body object, free up its name in the name space and entirely remove it from the internal model entity data base. This is possible for two workflows: Delete new empty body Delete a body that doesn’t have any contributing features anymore   (view in My Videos) Thanks for reading.  I hope it was informative. If you liked it, give it a Kudo.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

Take your automation to the next level with Virtual Master Model - Webinar on Oct 12th

As part of our B&W Webinar Week 2021, there is a session about "Take your automation to the next level with Virtual Master Model" with our partner SIGMAXIM.    Keeping rules and logic in Creo has its benefits. But, it also has its drawbacks. Most of us have tried Family Tables Pro/Programs Relations Over loaded assemblies   The Virtual Master Model (VMM) concept gives users the advantage of retaining the information and rules saved in the master model concept without the disadvantage of lugging it around in Creo and Windchill environments. How did VMM make it better? By creating a rules engine and linking it outside Creo. Imagine being able to quickly change and update models without having to dig through code or other logic. Everything users do is based on rules and logic which cascades into other decisions and results. VMM offers the flexibility to keep the resulting Creo data a concise model set without the burden of unnecessary data. ETO can now be included in your automation road map. VMM is smart enough to handle complex and unique rule sets. You could also call it low coding.   When: Oct 12th at 3 pm (CEST)    Here is the recording for you: (view in My Videos) Please feel free to ask your questions.
