Mapped meshes and spheres
Hello, A quarter cylinder is easy But what about a quarter sphere with the top chopped off? The model really is as simple as it looks. I can't be looking at the meshing problem in the right way....

Charles, Long ago that Ronald Fuchs worked for the PTC (Rasna) Technical Support, unfortunately. A good guy... I think it should be a trivial enhancement. The PP simply should be able to combine...

Hello, I am using the Academic Version of Simulate and I would like that someone (with the commercial version) tries to open either the .prt file or just the result window, I attached both files. Just...

Hi, Academic & Student files cannot be opened in Commercial session. MH

Hello, The .prt file can't be opened with Commercial License. Howerver, it's OK for the result window SW

Thanks Charles! - It was very useful. Finally I have to refine the material curve. - You have written about the residuals. I see the residual value but can I plot the residual curve too? I could check...

I would think you need to calculate this as a computed measure. The regular VM is obviously available, then look up the max prin and min prin and set the sign accordingly. I'm actually working on a...

I am trying to figure out a way to perform a thermal analysis on a design that includes TEC devices. I first thought that I could simply use a material with a negative thermal conductivity but that...

Thanks Paul, I thought along similar lines but with volume regions in a part rather than an assy of parts. I couldn't get it to work. It is a reasonable amount of prep. Consider the following. just...

OK, example 2 (volume regions only, but sphere with the top chopped off). regardspaul

yes, creo simulate stand alone (mechanica) ist fine,until creo 2.user lost regardspaul

Paul, That's what I tried !! I have absolutely no idea what I was doing wrong. I have taken your model and refined in different ways with volume regions as I thought it mattered whether these...

Paul, it's not a bad thing Independent is now history. The 'revolve' of shell elements was easy just so long as the user made sure it was only element edges were along the axis of revolution. Using the...

Paul, OK, I broke my model straight away. Have a look at the attached. A 6deg wedge of sphere rather than a 90deg portion. (6deg because the minimum edge/face angle=5eg) Only 1 angular subdivision....

I think I can repeat the issue. IF the 2 central wedges are selected such that the FIRST wedge - pick triangular surfacesSECOND wedge - does not permit you to pick faces so you have to use datum points...
