Creo Trial Issue

I thought that the trial period was 30 days but I got a popup saying "Time Remaining - Your Creo Parametric8.0 trial will expire in - 18813 days, -19 hours and -9 minutes.", is it an error or whats "18813 days" mean? Also, after 30days I wont be allowed to use trial anymore or will be able to use some of the functions still?

Enabling Creo Parametric DEBUG logging for Windchill Interactions using Environment Variables

Applicable Release: Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0   Description: In this video, we will be enabling DEBUG Logs For Creo Parametric by setting environment variables from Command Prompt window If the CMD window is launched with Admin Privilege (Run as Administrator), the variables will be set as system level. Else, will be set at user level. The user may need to log off and log-in for the variables to take effect.

Multibody - How to display, use or call-out a body parameter – Part 2 (new in Creo 8.0)

Hello everyone and welcome back to the multibody blog series. This post also attempts to answer another body parameter related question: How can I display call-out a body parameter in a generic way? We received a question and enhancement idea from customers adopting Creo 7.0 asking for Leader Note Callouts for Bodies, similar to existing notations available for models, features etc as described in the Creo help here. (in short: Previously, when attaching a leader note to a model (component) you can get the value of a specific parameter for the attachment model. This can be achieved with the following syntax: &<param_name>:att_mdl  e.g &BOM_PART_NO:att_mdl)   An analogue workflow is now supported for body parameters. We implemented and added this to Creo 8.0. This enhancement allows you to call out the values of body parameters into a leader note that is attached to that body. To call out the value of a specific body parameter, you need to use the following syntax inside the leader note that is attached to that body: &<body-parameter-name>:att_body For example, if you have a body parameter called Description, you could create a leader note with the callout &Description:att_body  or call out the body’s material using &PTC_ASSIGNED_MATERIAL:att_body   When you create a leader note with this syntax, Creo Parametric checks the body to which the note leader is attached. If the called parameter exists for that body, then the body parameter gets evaluated and the parameter value is shown in the note. In the case of an assembly, Creo Parametric looks for the called parameter in the body of the component to which the note is attached. The callout is supported for all the environments and modes that already support :att_mdl.   Example: All bodies have a DESCRIPTION parameter called out using &Description:att_body      Thanks for reading. I hope it was informative.   Back to Creo 7.0 & 8.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin

PTC Additive Manufacturing Survey - PARTICIPANTS NEEDED

The Creo Product Management team acknowledges the additive manufacturing industry has been quickly evolving and many of our customers are moving beyond prototyping and into final part production. Based on that, you may be aware that we have been working over the past releases of Creo to support this transition through robust additive manufacturing software. A lot of these efforts were made possible thanks to constant feedback from our users that helped drive our product. On that note, we’re currently seeking feedback specific to additive manufacturing in order to validate our assumptions and strengthen our pipeline for the next several releases. We would like to hear from you as we plan to build a better product and experience, please use the link below to answer the survey:   PTC Additive Manufacturing Survey.

Tip for Sketching

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!

Lattice Structures in Creo: What You Should Know About Analysis and Licensing

  With the wide-spread use of additive manufacturing, you now have more options than ever before for part and assembly design. That’s because without the restrictions of traditional manufacturing, more intricate structures can now be used to optimize weight, strength, and even heat distribution.   (For an overall introduction, read our Beginner’s Guide to Lattice Structures in Additive Manufacturing.)   In a recent presentation from PTC University, Matt Huybrecht discussed and demonstrated new features in Creo that support lattice structures for those who want to use them. However, before you start, a few questions came up that we thought you might find interesting:   Can I do a structural analysis on stochastic lattices? YES! The DISPLAY of the geometry is that of simplified representation geometry, but the lattice geometry does contribute to mass properties calculations. Therefore, you can leverage it in structural analyses.   How is the additive manufacturing functionality licensed in Creo Parametric and what are the differences? There are two licenses available:       Creo Additive Manufacturing Extension (AMX) – An add-on extension that provides lattice structure creation and optimization and printer tray setup. It includes basic additive manufacturing capabilities, including: Out-of-the-box 3D printer support for Stratasys and 3D Systems printers. Model preparation (tessellation) Printer tray setup Global scaling Printability validation Model interrogation Calculations of build material Option to order 3D print       Creo Additive Manufacturing Plus Extension – An add-on extension that provides 3D metal printer connectivity, printer management, and tools to automate support structure generation.    For even more guidance from the PTC University team, check out the new LEARN classes now available online.

07 - Multibody – How to display, use or call-out a body parameter – Part 1

Hello everyone and welcome to blog post #7 in this multibody blog series. This post also attempts to answer another body parameter related question: How can I display, use or call-out a body parameter? If you want to call out a body parameter then you have to use the syntax as explained in the Creo help here.   &<param_name>:BID_<body_feature_ID> Or &<param_name>:BID_<body_userdefined_name>   Note: For bodies that have the default name (body 1, body 2, etc) you cannot use the system-defined default body name but you have to use the body’s Feature ID. (The reason is that the system-defined names such as body 1, body 2, etc are localized and translated into other languages and therefore not representing stable references across languages.)   Example: Let’s assume we have 2 bodies. Here their names and parameters list.     To call out the parameter “MY_BODY_INFO” for both bodies, we can now use the following for body 1 &MY_BODY_INFO:BID_-5778   And one of the following options for the WHEEL body (which has id 6105) &MY_BODY_INFO:BID_6105 &MY_BODY_INFO:BID_WHEEL   So if you create a note and enter: You will see the resulting note text being: I think we have a preference of using body names. Therefore the system automatically tries to convert the body IDs to body names where possible. So when you go back to the call-out symbol definition, you will see it being changed to   Thanks for reading. I hope it was informative.   Back to Creo 7.0 Multibody Home: Start Here!   Enjoy!....Martin
