Creo, as you might remember, was announced in October 2010 to replace existing Pro/Engineer, CoCreate, and ProductView products. The biggest news at the PlanetPTC Live 2011 event was the launch of the first set of Creo applications. Interested in more tips and tricks, as well as PTC Creo news, customer stories, and more? Subscribe to PTC Express, our e-newsletter, for regular updates.Assemblies are as easy to simulate as individual piece parts. To learn more, read the PTC Creo Help Center page, Static Analysis. (Note, if you have not already, you'll need to register to access material.) To see a demonstration of these steps, watch this video on the PTC University Learning Exchange. This graph also shows that the middle of the beam had the most displacement. Results display in a graph similar to the one shown below.
Click OK and Show on the Result Window Definition dialog. On your model, select the curve you want to measure. In the Graph Location frame, click the cursor button to define the curve that you want to use as a measure. The Result Window Definition dialog opens. Click the icon that looks like a paper and pencil that allows you to Edit the selected definition. To view the results as a graph, following these steps: A color scale displays on the right side of the analysis, identifying the displacement range. Results appear like this:Īs expected, in this example, the middle of the beam was where it displaced the most. For the purpose of this tip, change the Quantity to Displacement, and then click the OK and Show button. Note that you can display Stress, Displacement, or others in the Quantity tab. On the Analyses and Design Studies dialog, click the report icon to Review results of a Design Study or Finite Element analysis. Once you run the analysis, to view the results as a finite element analysis, following these steps: This dialog appears whether or not there were errors in running the analysis. Review the results and then click Close on the dialog. The Diagnostics: Analysis dialog (shown below) displays whether there were any errors in running the analysis. On the Analyses and Design Studies dialog, click the green flag button to Start run.
The Static Analysis Definition dialog opens.
On the dialog, click File > New Static. The Analyses and Design Studies dialog box opens. On the ribbon bar menu, click Analyses and Studies. Next, run a static analysis by following these steps: On the Force/Moment Load dialog box, make edits in the Force frame in order to apply a certain force to the surface.Ī downward force was applied on this part. On your model, select the surface to which you want to apply the load. Click Force/Moment from the ribbon bar menu. On your model, select the end surfaces. In the ribbon bar menu, click Displacement. Next, follow these steps to apply constraints to your part.
Click OK on the Material Assignment dialog box.
In the Properties frame, click the More button next to the Materials list box. The Material Assignment dialog box opens, which is shown below. With your file open, click Material Assignment. Creo simulate how to#
Here’s how to run an analysis: Step 1: Assign a materialīefore you run an analysis, you need to assign a material to your model. With Creo Simulate, you can automate your static analysis and you can be confident that your calculations are accurate. Hopefully you’re not using a pen and paper to work out your calculations now.
As an engineering student, I bet you spent countless hours scribbling the answers to equations for statics class.
