Did You Know? Stand-Alone Datum Feature Symbols in Creo 4.0

In Creo 4.0, we introduced a number of features to make using model-based definition more seamless in your 3D CAD software. Among the changes: datum feature symbols can now be used as stand-alone annotations. In this post, our expert shows you how to make the most of this new feature.If

Multibody – Clearance & Creepage Analysis

Multibody – Clearance & Creepage Analysis,   Hello all and welcome to another blog post in the multibody series.   In today’s topic I would like to make you aware of the multibody setup possibilities for clearance and creepage analysis. With the introduction of bodies in Creo Parametric 7.0, we also introduced support of the COMPARATIVE_TRACKING_INDEX parameter for bodies. If you add it to individual bodies of a part, you can define and control the conductivity definition separately for different bodies within a part. The attached video shows an example on a fuse part by defining conductive ends as body with a different CTI value. Once the body level parameter values are defined, you can see the conductive highlighting including the metallic ends of the fuse and excluding the red inner body. (view in My Videos)   Thanks for reading & watching.  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

Motors as Features - Relations

With Mechanism Motors now being features, you can also define relations, create UDFs, reroute them etc. Attached video shows an example of adding a relation to one of the Motor's coefficients. Note that the result of this relation is also visible in the dashboard as the value is greyed-out and is no longer accessible due to the added relation (A=100).

13. Multibody – What are these Construction bodies?

Hello all and welcome to another blog post in this multibody blog series. Todays topic: Construction bodies! Construction body are a pretty unique, powerful concept in Creo’s multibody implementation. As such it is really important to know about them and to understand how to use them. So, what are construction bodies? Construction bodies are bodies that are used for the design of your model, but do not contribute to the final geometry or mass. That means that similar on how you used quilts in the past to create additional geometry helping with the construction of your design, you can now do the very same with solid geometry. The construction attribute of these bodies will then help you to differentiate that geometry and automatically exclude it. Excluding them from mass properties is just one out of more than a dozen workflows where they are treated special. You will find more details in the video.   (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

Diagram Retirement

As you all know Pro/Diagram is being superseded by Creo Schematics.  In Creo 4.0 we are restricting access to Pro/Diagram via a hidden configuration option and in Creo 5.0 we will officially retire Pro/Diagram turning it off completely.   To turn Pro/Diagram back on you need to add enable_obsolete_modes True to your configuration file and start Creo.

Did You Know? Customize the Model Tree for Maximum Usability

A not-quite-right user interface can be a real nuisance day after day. But, an interface that’s just right for Sally might be all wrong for Tomas. Achieving true “one-size-fits-all” status is probably impossible. That’s why the Creo Parametric model tree is customizable. After all, your software is kind of like that Journey song … you know … “Any way you want it, that’s the way you need it. Any way you want it.”   Here are some tips for getting the model tree just how you want it.   Pick Your Columns and Column Widths.   Do you need to see more parameters in the model tree? Or, do you need to minimize columns and expand the graphics area, so you have more room to work? No problem. Here’s how to do it.   At the top of the model tree, click Settings and select Tree Columns. Add/remove displayed columns. Customize the width of the model tree, as well as the width of the other columns, using the dialog window (shown below) or by dragging the column separators in the model tree after you click Apply to add any new columns.   You’ll notice the model tree itself is defined as a column that can’t be removed from the list of displayed columns (see below). And you can set its width in the same way you set the width of individual columns. Additionally, you can quickly switch between showing and hiding the additional columns. Hiding columns can be useful when you want to shrink the size of left pane and maximize the graphics area.   Set Display Filters   Of course, some standard features, suppressed objects, and annotations appear in the model tree by default. However, did you know you can customize these model tree display filters for part and assembly modes? Here’s how:   At the top of the model tree, click Settings and select Tree Filters. Use the dialog window to select features to display in the model tree. Saving Your Model Tree Customizations   Model tree column settings, including column width, and model tree display filters are automatically stored, by mode, in the creo_parametric_customization.ui file. These settings load automatically when you open a new Creo Parametric session.   Model tree settings can be imported and exported in user customization file types (*.ui).   Want to see more? Watch the video below You don’t need to worry about messing up your current settings when you make changes to the model tree. You’ll notice several places where you can reset default settings when needed. You can even apply the reset to the current mode or all modes.

01- Multibody – Intro, Model tree interaction and What’s that default body doing?

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!

Copy Geometry, Simplify Meshes, Manipulate Rounds: Tips from the Creo Masters

As promised, here is Post 1 in the new series of Creo tips from our expert product managers.   Each post includes about 15 minutes of video how-tos aimed at skilling up your CAD proficiency—whether you’ve just started using Creo or consider yourself an old pro.   So much for the ado. Let’s jump in!   1. Getting Granular: Copy Geometry from Multiple Components You can pass any type of geometric reference information and user-defined parameters to and from parts, skeleton models, and assemblies using the Copy Geometry feature. Normally, you can only copy geometry (like curves, surfaces, or datum planes) from a single source component.   However, in this tutorial, Creo Product Manager, Arnaud van de Veerdonk shows you how to manually copy geometry from multiple assembly components using a single shrink wrap feature.   Watch how to do it:     2. Simplify Your Mesh by Removing Small Features … Quickly and Easily   Simplifying a model by removing small geometric features, holes, and areas that increase the complexity of the mesh can speed up analysis and simulation processes. But you might find it time-consuming to remove these features manually.   In the tutorial below, Martin Neumueller, Director of Product Management, shows how to quickly defeature a model in preparation for simulation with flexible modeling and geometry search capabilities provided in Creo Simulate and Creo Parametric.     3. Manipulate Rounds Like a Boss: 3 Tricks   You've maybe noticed that Creo creates default, context-sensitive transitions when you add rounds to a model. These are just the default and, like most other elements, they can be changed to fit your needs.   In this short tutorial Paul Sagar, VP of Product Management, shows you 3 tricks for creating advanced round geometry inside Creo. You'll learn how to:  Add a round to 3 intersecting edges. Understand the power of round pieces Apply different round values to a tangent chain of edges. Extend a round along a tangent chain of edges, controlling the end transition geometry. Watch this short tutorial to learn how:      For more tips from our experts, watch the Tips from the Creo Masters main page.
