Re: Material file database (again)
Charles I'm working out how the Output Steps area on the Output tab of the Static Analysis dialog box interacts with the Time Dependence table function in Load Histories, which seems to be the only way...

That's really encouraging Erik, lovely work and you stoke my confidence that I'll get on top of the realities of an evolving product in a sensible amount of time. It is slightly unfortunate that PTC...

A friend of mine, who works at PTC, told me that a couple of months ago the core of Creo Simulate development group (the most experienced developers and managers) was suddenly laid off.You may want to...

How can I get the "material removal simulation" to pause when it´s done? I want to look at the "toolpath" after the simulation.Now it just jumps out from the simulation one millisek after it´s done....

Simulation of contact between unusual shaped bodies in mechanism ?
Hello, I'm facing a new challenge as I have to simulate (or, at least, animate) the behaviour of an assembly based on a cam-follower system. I have defined all needed connections of the main assembly...

We have a few parts that have the density field greyed out (disabled) if you go to the Mass Properties tab on the ribbon interface. However, if you go to the dialog from File > Prepare > Model...

Hi, The highlighted check box in the attached image is ticked by default with the default value of ignore interpenetrations larger than 0mm This means that all contacts will be ignored by default. For...

Re: Sub-assemblies registering as 0 mass in top assembly?
Hi, Does the attached help? It works with assmblies with subassemblies for us. True skeleton parts should be ignored. by mechanisms. 'homemade' skeletons will need to be made part of ground or attached...

I believe that the "for press fit, ignore interpenetrations larger than:" is only for geometry that is initial interference. If the geometry is not in interference/has a gap, then this feature ignored....
View ArticleRe: Sub-assemblies registering as 0 mass in top assembly?
As already mentioned by people here, the problem is in that you have subassemblies that are bodies by themselves - hence have zero mass. Have you had few parts in these subassemblies belong to same...

Hello Emanuel and welcome to the forum. I am going to make two assumptions which you can clarify. 1. You are not using the manufacturing extension2. You want to show the material removal as an...

Making the cuts continously is going to end up as an approximation. Intersecting the cutter with the blank at closely spaced steps may be close enough. What is the desired outcome? Animation of...

Gear teeth profiles still get me but once you get the profile of the hob and the motion that it follows (I'm assuming is it a straight plunge), you can use mechanism to built a series of videos (output...
