Material properties on CAD files What are the benefits of correct material properties on CAD files?
• Density → Correct mass of CAD files
• Center of Gravity (COG) defenition in all configurations
• Moments of Inertia
• Correct Structural/Thermal properties (FEM)
• Sheetmetal properties (e.g. bend factors)
• Appearances
• Material list extraction from assemblies
• ...
PLM & CAD Consultancy
How can Creo assist? • Correct material database
• Assign exaggerated density properties to startparts to force correct mass
assignments to parts
• Show mass column
• Show material column
PLM & CAD Consultancy
User Defined Columns
Behavior Modeling eXtension
• Embed design requirements within models to solve optimization
problems involving multiple design goals and perpetually satisfy
performance criteria
• Assess model sensitivity to understand the effects of change on design
objectives
• Integrate results with external applications
• Enable consideration of all design requirements, regardless of
construction method, to produce optimal designs
The powerful design optimization capabilities of PTC Creo
help you improve detailed design, reverse engineering, and
verification and validation processes, by supporting robust
design initiatives.

Demo • Behavior modeling

Sensitivity / Optimizations in assemblies • The same studies can be done in assemblies, by modifying part dimensions
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Example 1 , optimize image
Philips
Healthcare
Jorden de Wolff

Example 2, optimize models

How to handle Imported Parts • Use startparts on import parts (since Pro/ENGINEER Wildfie 5)
• Fixing files, if required, using mapkeys
• Naming conventions
• U-Tools! Now available for Creo Parametric 3.0
• Save-As / Rename automatically
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Import assemblies
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Benefits: • Correct units
• Correct parameters (ModelCheck)
• Correct Layers
• Correct Notes
• Correct Simplified Reps
• Mass????
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Assign mass props manually
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Analysis Mass Properties
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Names of imported parts • “Default” names can give duplicates
• “space” containing items give manifold_solid_brep_xxx.prt
• How to keep link to original names? (supplier building block?)
• Solution, create mapkey that: Add analysis feature, relation
Description=rel_model_name
Verify relation
Delete analysis feature
PLM & CAD Consultancy
U-Tools • sBatch (part of U-Tools) is a tool, developed by USG Engineering, that can run
a mapkey on multiple Creo files in batchmode
• From local drive or using Windchill workspace
• Stand Alone and/or integrated in Pro/ENGINEER or Creo Parametric
• Download from USG Website
• Useful for batch PDF print, cleanup layers, assign materials, create e.g. STEP
files etc.…

Save As / Rename, use Excel • Use Save-As or Rename to give the
files a unique name
• Use Excel as name generator
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Save As / Rename, use Excel • In Save As dialogbox, select all files and Actions, Save a Copy
• Error indicators show filenames with more than 32 characters-> enter dummy
name
• Use File, Save in Save As dialogbox
• Accept default name
• A .txt file will be saved in workdirectory
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Save As / Rename, use Excel • Open .txt file in Excel
• Finish the Text Import Wizard on default
• Create unique names in second column
• Save Excel file, accept defaults
• Return to Creo Parametric
PLM & CAD Consultancy
Save As / Rename, use Excel • In Creo, Save As dialogbox, Load file
• Notice the new filenames
