Creo+ and Creo Parametric

HiI am experiencing a visualization issue in Creo Ansys Simulation. (12.4.2.0)The simulation completes successfully and the result legend/color scale is displayed correctly. However, when viewing the results, the part is displayed as a wireframe and the contour plot (fringe colors) is not shown on the geometry.The issue occurs across all simulation types and result types that I have tested.An interesting observation is that when I start a result animation, the contour colors immediately appear and are displayed correctly during the animation. Once the animation stops, the model returns to the wireframe-only display.Has anyone encountered this behavior before?Thanks 

We recently moved from Creo Parametric 9 to 12 and me and several colleagues have an issue with dimensioning in sketcher. Sometimes I have to retry multiple times  to create a dimension between lines/ points etc. The mouse does snap but sometimes the dimension is just not created and nothing happens. Does anyone recognize this and has a possible solution?

According to the developer guide tkusetoc, this function supports passing a drawing view argument to display annotations only in the target view starting from Creo Parametric 2.0 M060. The official documentation states:From Creo Parametric 2.0 M060 onward, you can specify the view in which the annotations for the selected feature and component must be displayed. For the functions ProAnnotationByFeatureShow() and ProAnnotationByComponentShow(), specify the view where the annotations must be displayed. If you pass the input argument view as NULL, the annotations are displayed in all the views.However, during practical development, the function returns error code -9 (PRO_TK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) whenever a valid non-NULL ProView handle is passed to the view parameter. When passing NULL to the view argument, all annotations are displayed across every drawing view as documented, which works as expected. My business requirement is to show feature annotations exclusively in a single specified draw

All,CREO 8: Is there an easy way to not have multiple lines in bom for flexible components in assembly? No duplicates or No duplicate level does not work. I saw something about editing the bom. I did not understand itI tried using family tables instead of flexible models, but having the same problem with multiple lines.WayneF

Hello,I am working on a Creo Toolkit customization that needs to identify features created from a UDF and generate sequences based on the original UDF feature names.As described in CS196043, when a UDF is placed in Creo Parametric, the feature names from the source UDF are not preserved in the resulting model. Because of this behavior, I cannot directly compare the placed feature names with the original UDF feature names.However, in the UDF Placement dialog, under the Options tab, the "Redefine These Features" section displays the original feature names from the source UDF. This information appears to be available somewhere internally within Creo.I reviewed the Creo Toolkit API documentation but could not find an API that provides access to the original UDF feature names.My question is:Is there any Creo Toolkit API that allows access to the original feature names shown in the "Redefine These Features" list? If not directly, is there another supported method to retrieve the mapping betw

What is the best procedure for using current 2D layouts in Creo? This involves large factory layouts built from multiple ME10 2D parts.

Hi, everyone! I was wondering: is there a way to set in parameters or templates the bend position to “add geometry” instead of standard option to the keep wall profile? I would like to have it as default for all my designs from the beggining instead of having to set it manually on every new design. Bend position. Thanks in advance.

Hey,I have used zone section view, I want to increase the X-Hatching size in my drawing view. How can I do it?

Hi All,Is it possible using ProMdlCombStateCreate routine to set different visibility styles(show, blank, wireframe, etc) for several solid object (prt, asm) in the model as in the interactive CREO session?Thanks. 

!--scriptorstartfragment-->Hello, I would like to simulate a mechanism consisting of a pendulum (Point A), a pulley (Point B), and a slider (Point C) in an assembly. The conditions are:- The wire between Point A and Point C is inextensible (constant length, no stretch, no slack).- The wire passes over Point B (pulley).- The pendulum is rigid one-part. My questions are: 1. Is it possible to build such an assembly model using relations or other Creo mechanisms?2. Can this model be used for motion simulation in MDO (Mechanism Dynamics Option)? I tried using relations based on measured distances (Analysis → Measure).However, it seems that the measure feature cannot be used on the left-hand side of a relation, so I could not enforce the constraint properly. Does anyone have suggestions for modeling this kind of system in Creo?(I am useing Creo11) Thank you in advance.``!--scriptorendfragment-->

Hola - We use CreoNC extensively - however, we use Vericut for simulation and never have built a machine model for use within Creo. I’m attempting to do that now.At no point have I been able to make the kinematic machine model appear in the Creo NC window. I’ve read the (thin) information available. I’ve asked Gemini. I then went to the Knowledge Base and downloaded the FADAL VMC file (close enough to the vertical mill I created) and I can’t get that to work either.I am using Windchill - maybe that’s the issue since I don’t have the machine in the pro_mfg_workcell folder, though I did browse to where it is and it accepted the entry.I also cannot find “Machine Play” anywhere, either in NC or ProProcess.Licensing issue? TIA

I have been using CREO MDO for some time to evaluate forces, crank torques etc. It works very well. But what's the best way to dynamic balance a complex mechanism such as a internal combustion engine in MDO?

I would like to set Measured MAX and MIN Value in MDO  within a certain range for BMX Constraint.Model Motion is Rotating 0~90 degree range and MAX and MIN value in whole degree range can be selected in BMX without settingBut are there any way to set MAX and MIN value in a certain degree range (i.e. 30~60deg)? (attached file is simple model for this question. so, I hope solution wihtout modifying MDO setting)  

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0 I currently need to work from home, so I am using the Home Edition license of PROE_DesignEssH in my home office environment. I need to open *.drw files created by my colleagues using PROE_DesignEss (155) (which includes the Creo Language Option License—CHINESE (formerly Pro/ENGINEER)), but the Chinese characters in these files appear as squares (unreadable). How can I resolve this issue, since I need to continue working from home? Thank you. Here are the errors that I faced The characters are displayed as squares (unrecognizable)

Hi everyone,I am facing an issue in my Creo Toolkit application and would appreciate any suggestions.WorkflowI launch my Toolkit application. A UI dialog is displayed where the user enters the required drawing parameters. When the user clicks the Apply button, the drawing is loaded using ProMdlFiletypeLoad(). I then apply a drawing setup (.dtl) file using ProInputFileRead(). The model parameters are updated. The model and drawing are regenerated.ProblemWhen the drawing is first loaded, it appears correctly with the expected formatting and DTL settings.However, as soon as the parameter update/regeneration begins, the drawing temporarily becomes scattered. Dimensions, tables, notes, and other annotations move from their correct locations, almost as if the drawing is momentarily using a different unit system (for example, inches instead of millimeters).I would like to prevent the user from seeing this intermediate scattered state.My questionsIs this expected behavior when loading a drawin

1."Can we perform a 'Cleanup Dimensions' operation across all views of a 2D drawing sheet simultaneously by passing a NULL view pointer in the J-Link API for Creo 10?"2."In Creo customization using J-Link, is it possible to cast a standard pfcDrawing object to a wfcWDrawing object to access Web Foundation Class methods?" 

When I export a PDF, the phantom and hidden lines appear to be the same, but in the Creo drawing, it’s clearly different. The only way I found that will reflect the phantom line geometry is what I did with the line highlighted in yellow. I described how I did it below.Does anyone know how to fix this? I want to use the component display to make the lines phantomopque, and have it reflected when I export a PDF. Yellow - I went to display<Line Style<Modify Lines<PHANTOMFONTBlue - I went to Component Display<PhantomOpqueGreen - Hidden Line Here is the pen table I am usingpen 1 thickness 0.03 cm; geometrypen 2 thickness 0.005 cm; dimensionspen 3 thickness 0.02 cm; hidden; pattern .1 .1 cm;pen 4 thickness 0.005 cmpen 5 thickness 0.03 cm; sheetmetal greenpen 6 thickness 0.015 cm; curve_colorpen 7 thickness 0.001 cmpen 8 thickness 0.015 cm; green textpdf Thank you to anyone who can help.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0 part mass appears incorrect. Please see screen shots with this case. I would like to know why we have 2 density values. I would like to know why "assign material" is greyed out. Here are the errors that I faced no error messages. Incorrect mass

Whether it is able to do Cleanup Dimensions for the entire drawing sheet in Creo 10 via J-Link?

I’m testing out a multibody part design workflow.Everything seems to work well except for the link to the source model.If the source model is moved or renamed, the child models regenerate but I can’t find a way to reestablish the link. Any suggestions?My workflow.Create multibody part. Import the multibody part into a new (empty part) using inheritance. This brings in solid bodies and datums. Do “keep bodies” to keep just the single body that is necessary. Repeat for other bodies. Close parent and child parts, erase from session. Rename or move parent part. Open one of the child parts and try to re-link.

I’m trying to run a validation case in Creo 12 Flow Analysis based on the first example in the link below, but I can’t seem to reproduce the same results shown in the example:https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/simulate/cfd/TurbulentFlow.html#The pipe is designed with an inner radius of 2 mm and a length of 2000 mm.In Flow Analysis, I define the inlet (IN) with a velocity of V = 50 m/s, and the outlet (OUT) as a specified pressure outlet of 0 Pa.The air density is set to 1.225 kg/m3 and the dynamic viscosity to 1.7894e-5 Pa·s.To display the mass-averaged total pressure difference directly as a graph, I use the following expression:plot.MassAvgTotP_Loss = flow.mpt@IN - flow.mpt@OUT#plot.MassAvgTotP_Loss: Mass Avg Tot P Loss IN-OUT [Pa]However, my results are significantly different from the values stated in the example. I get approximately 21,970 Pa difference between the inlet and outlet, while the example shows a pressure drop of 0.73 Pa.What am I

Hey there! I have been using Creo 11 for the longest time and have always been able to get 2D Drawings into a PDF file easily via Export function. Two months ago I upgraded to Creo 12 and created a big assembly. When I tried to export the 2D Drawings I had created, I found that the export to PDF does not work for whatever reason (tried via “Menu - Save As - Export” & “Quick Export”, as well as “Save as” and select PDF in the popup window). The weird part is, that it opens the dialogue window where I can select a location to save the file and I can enter a name, but when I click Save, it does not create any file. Also there is no Message or warning displayed anywhere which could lead me to the cause… Just in case: I know that I can use Print to PDF, but unfortuneately the plot quality is way worse and for this assembly specifically I need an A2 format which is not supported by print to PDF. I have also tried all AI Assistants but none of their tricks worked. I have done many workaro
