Did You Know? Using Sketch-Based Features and Dimension Draggers

Using PTC Creo Parametric sketch-based features, you can quickly draw and edit geometry. While creating a new sketch-based feature, you can either select a sketch or a sketch plane first, and then open the tool (click Model > Extrude), or you can open the tool and then select a

Import and Export Wavefront (*.obj) files directly in Freestyle

PTC now allows users to import and export standard Wavefront (*.obj) files in Freestyle.  The OBJ file could be created from other subdivisional modeler tools and imported geometry can contain multiple shapes.  Freestyle will provide additional control on import such as the facet units the ability to flip the normal direction of the control mesh.

FMX: Video - Exposure of Flexible Modeling tools in Sheet Metal

Attached please find a video on the exposure of Flexible Modeling tools in Sheet Metal. It focuses on selection and geometry modification tools that are available in regular part mode and had been adapted for the Sheet Metal environment to honor guidelines such as constant wall thickness and other specific rules. In particular note how Move and Remove refine the selection automatically and how other tools like substitute, offset, etc are only allowed for side surfaces. Pattern recognition and propagation are supported for operations such as move.   Have fun! Looking forward to your feedback.   Best regards..Martin

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.

MBD: Datum Targets

Attached to this blog post are two pieces of content that should help you as you try out the new enhancements to Datum Targets in Creo 4.0. Any questions or feedback you have related to Datum Targets should be provided as comments to the blog post. That will be the easiest way for me to keep track of the comments and also be able to provide timely responses to your questions. If you follow this post, you can be notified of those comments as well and be able to learn from what others are asking. I may also periodically update this post to add some new details or information related to Datum Targets.   Also, don't forget to follow the main blog post for MBD - which will have links to other MBD-related content.

Improvements to Closed Curve handling in Style

PTC has improved how Style deals with closed curves.  Users can now create closed curves as periodic or nonperiodic curves.  A new option is available to toggle between the different states of the closed curve, however, all newly created closed curves are defined as periodic by default.
