Re: Fasteners on symmetry plane
Really? I don't have WF5 installed on my machine, but I know you can do this (thermal and contact) in Creo. Can you either post your model or show how you set your model up?

Hi Erik, I can see from the image that it's possible to apply a temporal variation on the bulk temperature by defining an equation or table, but I'm more interested in having the convection coefficient...

Re: Multiple convection coefficients?
Hi Paul You're right it looks like it's only the bulk temperature. Maybe you can work with that in a similar fashion as heat transfer is proportional to convection condition times temp difference. If...

I've retried yesterday and it works but you have to specify, also in thermal mode, a contact region between pieces since you have a contact region in structure mode.The problem is the good design of...

Re: Making a mirror part
Giulio, You can create a mirror component in assembly mode, but after examining your model, you have some features that cannot be mirrored. The idea is to open the model in assembly mode as shown in...

At the end of the way, there is no manner to mirror a part keeping the model tree unlinked from the "father" part (in the sense that I can't modify entirely the model tree, only suppress the feature...

Nobody else have never tried something like this and can give some suggestions?

Re: Making a mirror part
Giulio, There is way to mirror and keep the features apart from the parent part, as I have demonstrated below. I mirrored the below part and kept all the features. This was performed under Save...
View ArticleRe: Making a mirror part
I think what Giulio is referring to is that the part is made normal and then everything is mirrored. What we need is a way to make the part using a mirrored universe (I just heard 10 programmers drop...

Perhaps there is more than one problem within this discussion? I couldn't even mirror the attached part (pb113041.prt.1.zip). Could you?

Gurus, I've just been assisting a colleague (who's new to Mechanica) to set up an analysis. This analysis lends itself to cyclic symmetry, albeit only two-fold. He's successfully split the surfaces...

View ArticleRe: 180° Cyclic Symmetry
Jonathan, I may be wrong from what I can see in the model you shared, but it looks like you have applied a cyclic symmetry constraint incorrectly. The help inside Creo Simulate does not seem to provide...

Don, We had a similar meshing issue - inexplicably, suppressing the cyclic constraint allowed it to mesh, and after resuming it still meshed! Chris, I've used cyclic symmetry plenty of times before and...

Jonathan, Another colleague of mine looked at it too and, like me, right away said this is not an application for cyclic symmetry (CS) - together we have about 45 years of FEA experience. The general...

Thanks Chris. I hadn't spotted that the surfaces weren't identical - I thought they should have been, but as mentioned it isn't my model. Per my reply above I also found meshing errors, but for some...

Mapped Mesh on Fillet
