2D Detailing: Non-Linear Cross Hatching Styles

Attached to this blog post is a short presentation on the new enhancement to support non-linear cross-hatching styles in Creo 4.0. Although I'm listing this enhancement under the 2D Detailing area, it is also available in 3D models and Creo Layout. Any questions or feedback you have related to the support for non-linear cross hatching styles 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 this enhancement.   Also, don't forget to follow the main blog post for 2D Detailing - which will have links to other 2D Detailing-related content 2D Detailing Home: Start Here!

Multibody - How to save out a single body to .stp, .stl?

Hello everyone and welcome to another blog post in this multibody blog series. This is a mini-post based on a question that I received: “If I have a designed a multibody model, how can I save out a single body to STEP , .STL or any other format?” The answer is pretty straightforward and involves either the remove-body feature (see blog post #10) or construction bodies (see blog post #13) or derived models (see blog post #12 and later).   Method #1: Remove all other bodies using the remove-body feature Export(“Save A Copy”) the model to your desired format Undo the remove / delete the remove-body feature / suppress the remove-body feature Method #2: Set all other bodies to “Construction body” Invoke Export(“Save A Copy”) the model to your desired format Open the “Options”-menu in the “Save A Copy” dialog and ensure the Construction Body checkbox is unchecked Finishing the operation will then only save the remaining (non-construction) body The problem here might be that you need to remember which bodies to unset as construction afterwards if applicable Method #3: Create a derived model that only contains the body to be saved The easiest way to do this would be to select the body and then invoke “Create part from body” from the right mouse button menu. This creates a new part only containing the selected body allowing you to export it on its own Or Create new part and bring the desired body into the new part manually by using  the “External Copy Geometry” feature (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

Episode 36 - Club Car: Shaping tomorrow’s mobility - where will it take us?

“You may wonder what kind of vehicle is next for Club Car, but the answer is that the future is here, the future is now.”   Known for its brand of gold carts, Club Car is at the forefront of electric vehicle innovation, reinventing utility vehicles that work just about anywhere you can think of.  They're all about designing vehicles that are fun, practical and of course eco-friendly, and you can spot their rides zooming around golf courses, resorts, farms and even college campuses.   In this episode, we meet Dan Dykstra, who takes us on an immersive tour with the CRU, allowing us to experience first-hand the thrill of cruising around in this innovative vehicle. We delve into the versatility of the CRU, from leisurely backyard adventures to practical urban roaming. And we learn about Club Car’s dedication to electric vehicles for sustainability.   We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division - he explains the importance of Simulation Live and how important it is for Club Car.

Episode 35 - Tatum Robotics: Hands-On Innovation for the DeafBlind Community

“Her favourite show used to be Friends, and growing up she could hear it and she could read the captions, and it was so exciting for her that she could get that moment back.”   In the modern world we have an abundance of technology that helps us with our communication, information gathering and entertainment needs. But most of this is inaccessible for DeafBlind individuals whose primary language is tactile sign. It can be difficult for them to access news headlines, or to even find out what the weather will be like later on in the day.    Tatum Robotics is advancing accessibility by developing a robot hand that can communicate with DeafBlind people through tactile sign and allow them to access the internet. Designed to allow for as much movement as possible, the T1 Fingerspelling Hand features 18 degrees of freedom whilst still feeling as much as possible like holding a real human hand. DeafBlind people’s main source of communication is usually through human interpreters, who can’t be with them all of the time, so this technology will open up a world of interaction for them.    Our producer Curt Nickish went to meet Samantha Johnson, the founder of Tatum Robotics, in their headquarters in Boston. She demonstrates how one of the robot hands works and emphasizes the importance of testing with members of the deafblind community to capture all of the complexities of tactile sign language.

Did You Know? PTC Creo 3.0 Enhancements: Standard Hardware and Fasteners

With the release of PTC Creo 3.0, PTC Creo Parametric users now have access to an expanded library of standard parts and fasteners as well as an intuitive user interface to speed up the process of adding hardware to your assembly design. Jim Barrett Smith, Product Manager at PTC, gives an overview of the new capabilities:   To define the position of a fastener, select the datum point, axis, or a hole. You can select two aligning surfaces to define a fastener connection with a thread. Or, you can select two opposing surfaces to define a fastener and nut connection.   Next, select a fastener from the comprehensive library of fasteners. Choose the size of the thread or measure the thread size using an existing hole.     Selecting a fastener from the standard parts library   You have the option to set the length of the fastener yourself, or to have it set automatically. You can also control the hole tolerance and choose whether to have a counterbore on the top, the bottom, or both.   Setting the length of the fastener     There is a 2D preview in the dialog which updates with as you define the fastener details. Furthermore, you can click Preview to see a 3D view of the fastener in the graphics area.   You can get a 3D view of the fastener by selecting Preview     When you are satisfied, click OK to assemble the fastener.   After a fastener is assembled, you have the ability to reassemble or redefine it. Furthermore, if you reassemble an existing fastener onto a pattern, you will have the option to pattern the fastener. This saves significant time and effort.  If needed, you can choose to delete all patterned fasteners by simply selecting one and clicking Delete.     Check out our video tutorial on the PTC University Learning Exchange (“PTC Creo Intelligent Fastener (Lite)”) to learn more. Stay tuned to our “Did You Know” blog series as we cover all of the exciting, new enhancements in PTC Creo 3.0.     For more in-depth product feature explanations, visit our Tech Tips area.   Have some ideas about what PTC Creo product features you’d like to learn more about? Send me a message or leave a comment below and we’ll write up the best ideas from the community. Thanks for reading, looking forward to all of your feedback!   In case you missed it, check out our recent Did You Know posts covering PTC Creo 3.0 enhancements: Flexible Pattern Tool in the PTC Creo Flexible Modeling Extension Aligning Freestyle Geometry

Episode 32 - Vestas: How large can wind turbines get, and is bigger always better?

“The technology challenges we are facing as an industry are not so much how do we grow the size of turbines, but how do we increase their efficiency at their current size.”   Wind power is playing a huge role in the global renewable energy landscape. In the United States, electricity generation from wind power is on course to potentially surpass coal-fired electricity generation by 2026. Across Europe, this is already the case, with electricity generation from wind exceeding coal for the first time in the region in Q4 2023*. Vestas Wind Systems, based in Denmark, are world leaders in wind turbines, they’ve installed more than any other company in the world. They have more than 40 years of experience in wind energy and were the first company to reach the 100 GW landmarks for both the installation and service of wind turbines.   With higher than ever demand for wind energy, wind turbines are getting larger. However, that creates its own challenges, not least ensuring the whole supply chain stays sustainable. In this episode, we find out how Vestas is taking on that challenge through initiatives such as ensuring crucial components like blades are recyclable, or that wind turbine towers can be made using low-emission steel.   Our producer Peter Nørgaard Mathiasen went to the Vestas headquarters in Aarhus, Denmark, to meet Pedro Pastilha, the Head of Onshore Product Management. He tells us more about the wind industry and the future of wind production.
