    Isolate Geometry

    Hola I have a plane that was created referencing upstream geometry. I would like to fix this plane in space and remove references to parent geometry. I believe for a surface I can Copy Geom from withing the same part. What is the best way to do this for a plane? In Catia this can be done using...

    Repeat Last Command

    Hey! Does anyone know how I can setup a Creo Map Key (hot key) to repeat the last command? For example, if I hit the Assemble button then I close the Assemble window, I would like to be able to hit 'a' or 'b' etc on the keyboard and for that to open the Assemble window again. Thanks

    Double Click to Edit Sketch

    Hi- Can I set up Creo to make it edit a sketch by double clicking that sketch from the tree? Seems like every other CAD package let's you do this. Thanks!

    Sketch Angular Dim and Origin (Super Basic)

    Hi guys This is my first time using Creo Parametric (and I'm using 6.0 apparently). Within a .sec file I have created the attached sketch. My first question is: where the heck is the origin? When you create a sketch within a part file it gives you one but I don't see it when creating a .sec...

    Sol 105 and Pressure

    Hey! Easy question. Say I have a cylinder that is being crushed by external pressure. The pressure is a pressure field. So maybe on one side has 0.7 MPa and another 0.9 MPa and so on. And this is implemented by Pload2's on all the elements. If I run a Sol 105 linear buckling analysis, will it...

    Assign Material Visual

    Hi Folks In NX, after I assign a material using Tools > Utilities > Materials > Assign Material, is this material property displayed visually somewhere? In Catia a little icon appears in the tree. This is useful so that when you first open a part you immediately know what it is made from. Thanks

    (Another) TYP Question

    Hey Folks I know people have asked about using TYP on drawings ad infinitum on this forum. But I'm wondering how you handle repetitive details in 2D drawings, not repetitive features. So if I'm calling out the hole size in a hole pattern in one view; I use 4X DIA .25 etc, sure. How about a...

    Catia Composites Geo-Lvl

    Hey Folks Can someone explain the Geo-Lvl concept from stack-up files from zones in Catia Composites Design? I have two screenshots. The spreadsheet shows the stack-up from zones output and the explosion is the output after plies-from-zones. This is easy enough to manipulate by swapping excel...

    GD&T Clocking of Hex Cut-Out

    Hey Folks I have tab with two cut-outs. One is a circle and and the other is hex shaped. The design intent is: to have the tab sit flush on the bottom surface (lower image is a top view) to have the hex cutout be aligned to the circle mid plane with a high tolerance ie up-down-left-right in...

    Solid to Shell Contact

    Hey Folks I have a solid body that sits on a shell surface. There is a force acting on the shell from below it that will cause everything to deflect. From what I understand, I can use MD Nastran or Marc to use the in-built contact bodies options. However, I am more inclined to use Linear...

    Curve Maximum or Minimum

    Hey Folks I have a 'Project Curve' curve of a sketch spline projected onto a curved surface. I would like to create a point (3D sketch, I suppose) that lies on the Project Curve and is the closest point on that curve to a plane of my choice (my part symmetry plane). How can I do that?

    Cut-Away View on Sketch Plane

    Hey Guys I have a sketch plane that intersects a solid body. In Catia there's a button that automatically creates a section view when you sketch on that plane, so that your view is not obstructed by the body's matl. Is there a similar option or button in SolidWorks? Thanks

    Sidebar Size

    Hello Can anyone tell me how to change the size of sidebar to allow multiple columns? Catia v5R21. I've attached pictures so you can see what I'm getting at. Thankshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2145e7ad-cf28-4afa-8600-306df89fdd0b&file=before.jpg...
