Re-using a preload step
Hi, Take a bolted structure with fasteners preloaded and then subjected to many loadcases. Contact interfaces making the problem non-linear. Using SPA. No changes to geometry and mesh re-used. The...

Re: Basic mechanism question
I played with this using cams. Creo really should be more forgiving in this effort but it is not. It took me a couple of attempts to get it to pay attention to my intent. Attached you will find a...

Re: Basic mechanism question
Hi Antonius, We have collision detection but doesn´t seem to work when we run a analyses. It only works when we drag the components manually. It´s under Model properties -> Collision detection Or...

You seem to have a few more options in your collision detection dialog... (Creo 2.0 M040) Interesting: enable_advanced_collision *no/yes !!! more fun with mechanism... These are the motion profiles...

Hello all I need to run an optimization analysis that requires LDA. The goal is to minimize or maximize a specific measure whatever is its value in any of the "user defined output steps". _ Hopefully...

Enlarge (double-click) and read PTC's comments on impact with two moving bodies.

Yes....that one I have seen before. Thanks.
View ArticleRe: Is it possible to calculate impact between two moving bodies in Mechanica?
What is Mechanica Motion? I've heard of Mechanism, and I've heard of (and used quite a bit!) Mechanica; but this article, and another one you linked recently, mention Mechanica Motion which I've...

Perhaps the Motion is under the below Applications tab (Creo Parametric 3.0):
View ArticleAccess previous simulations in simulate lite,
I have Creo 2.0 and the simulate lite package that came with it. I ran a few simulations on single components and I am trying to access the old simulations I already ran and just change the forces and...

Unfortunately, no; you'll have to re-run the preload phase for each different load case you want to look at.

Steven, No, this model cannot be shared. Any trivial contact model will do to illustrate; fasteners are optional. Thanks
View ArticleRe: Is it possible to calculate impact between two moving bodies in Mechanica?
Based upon my own research and PTC's comments, I would have to say that the software does not support the type of analysis you're seeking.

If the Creo Simulate 2.0 is a commercial version, and the Creo Simulate 2.0 Lite is a student version, then the files will not be compatiable.

Re: Performing a Drop test analysis in Creo-simulate for a plastic component.
Anoop, The model has no properties, and it's just a collection of closed quilts. I trimmed the model so you can see inside (below image). It's hollow inside, not a solid, and it doesn't even have a...

Guess that answers the question. My intention was to model an impact similar to a car crash but seems that I might need to study Sping Idealizations as per H. Mai's reply. Regards,Lucky

Hi I was exporing my earlier preload question and 'Stig's' question. In Creo 3 we have the useful 'account for stiffness' function for fasteners which saves effort and the need for a calculator. We get...
