Jonathan,

You are correct as to what the word was when I typed my my original reply. The system changed it after it was posted.

O...K...

suppose your 6 resistors are equal. Then following the second equation, the reciprocal of their product must be approximately 10^72; that is, each of them should be about 10^-12 Ohm, that is pico-Ohm range.

Does that seem like a reasonable solution to you?

 

There is one error in your syntax: you use a boolean equals (shows as a boldface "=") in the Find() statement, where you should use an evaluation equals (shows as a regular "=").

The problem is not solvable, as you found out in Mathcad 15 and Prime. I tried a symbolic approach in Mathcad 11, with no solution found.

And I still question your equations because, even if they're a simplification, I think they should still make sense.

 

Finally: this does not look like a filter, because it lacks the frequency-dependent part. For a filter I would expect to see capacitors,

I need to have a parameter in the notes that can retrieve the Creo version number for identification of the model data set "computer application" and "version" IAW ASME Y14.41.  I can not find a hidden parameter or anything to use that will automatically update during revisions.

Thanks again, i think my assumptions didn't have any sense but i just did them to simplify the equations i assumed the caps with 1pf, and the other Gms=1, i know that's not realistic but in matter of math it's fine i think, so from a mathematic perspective they are 8 equations with 8 unknowns(after the assumptions) so i think i'll re-check with the TA who gave me the numbers

 

Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.

We are restricted to DTD 3.27 for a gov't project. We get an error where entries in the original xml files of: Maintlvl "field" and wpinfo "new" are not accepted by arbortext. How can we fix this?

Hello,

 

We get errors when entries inside the the original xml files of:   Maintlvl = "field" and, wpinfo = "new" are not accepted by Arbortext.  How can we fix this?

 

This is not an issue on 2 of our PCs.  The other 4 PCs use a reinstalled ArborText application. 

 

All PCs are set to use DTD 3.27 for this project, it's mandated by the customer for this phase of the project.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.  My direct e-mail is Delores.Annajee@ubtus.com


Re: Fixed hole cycles - G98 or G99 mode

A combination of Option File setting, I know they seem backwards but this works for us.

 

And set the PULLOUT_DIST to 0 to retract to initial plane (G98).

 

In this particular case the drill is moving to Z1.0 (clearance plane) when moving hole to hole, and beginning it's cycle 0.1 above the hole start plane (hole depth in this particular instance happens to be 1.0).

 

Hope that helps

Agreed.If you want users to input certain email addresses in workflow and add them as recipients - then there is no option other than creating a wtuser.

Hi John,

 

Please take a look at the Platform Support page and select the release you are using in the By Product drop down, e.g. PTC Creo 2.0.  This will take you to the platform support page for Creo 2.0, where you can find your machine configuration and verify that you are using a certified and/or supported graphics card & driver version.

 

Thanks,

Amit

Re: hole call out help

If you are still interested in trying maybe this will help:

 

CALLOUT_FORMAT is good for a generic note for holes that always have the same features and their notes will be the same. Because you are wanting to use different features with the holes you need to use the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA to specify the holes configuration and the parameters you want to see for use with that configuration. I'm attaching images to show where the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA is getting information from:

 

Hole-1.png

 

If you had the following in your *.hol file:

 

DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA

HOLE_TYPE  THREAD  DRILLED_DEPTH  THREAD_DEPTH  CSINK  CBORE  EXIT_CSINK  CALLOUT_FORMAT

TAPPED  YES  VAR  VAR  NO  NO  NO  &FASTENER_ID &THREAD_SERIES-&THREAD_CLASS

 

you should get 1/4-28 UNF-2B from the image above.

 

 

For this hole definition and the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA above:

Hole-2.png

you should get the Creo default note. The reason being is you have deselected the thread and it is now a DRILLED hole with no thread.

 

If you want to change the hole to the following:

Hole-3.png

and you want to keep the note format from above you need to add another line for another hole configuration otherwise you would get the Creo default note. In the image above two things were done, the DRILLED_DEPTH was changed to THRU_ALL and a countersink was added. The new line is added and modified as shown:

 

DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA

HOLE_TYPE  THREAD  DRILLED_DEPTH  THREAD_DEPTH  CSINK  CBORE  EXIT_CSINK  CALLOUT_FORMAT

TAPPED  YES  VAR  VAR  NO  NO  NO  &FASTENER_ID &THREAD_SERIES-&THREAD_CLASS

TAPPED  YES  THRU_ALL  VAR  YES  NO  NO  &FASTENER_ID &THREAD_SERIES-&THREAD_CLASS/<CTRL-a>w<CTRL-b><CTRL-a>n<CTRL-b>&CSINKDIAM X &CSINKANGLE


Any holes that don't conform to the two configurations shown display the Creo default note. If you want to use *.hol files and format the notes to what you want, you need a line for each hole configuration.


In the following I get the default Creo note because the hole is THRU_ALL not VAR, so the hole definition doesn't match the format data above:


hole-4.JPG


To get the correct note for a thru hole the following line needs to be added to the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA:

TAPPED  YES  THRU_ALL  VAR  NO  NO  NO  &FASTENER_ID &THREAD_SERIES-&THREAD_CLASS


If you wanted a blind hole, you would change the DRIILED_DEPTH selection and you may or may not need to select Reset on the Note tab since it may or may not update automatically. You don't need to add a line to the *.hol file because it's already there.


If it's still not working I'd need to know the hole configuration to help with the note format or know where exactly the confusion lies. The only other thing I can say is start with one line in the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA, change the parameters and modify the hole in various ways to see what it gives you.

It's version 3.1. In its (in?)finite wisdom PTC has decided that Prime 3 cannot open Prime 3.1 files.

Apparently you're using a full version of Prime 3. I'm using an express version of Prime 3.1 which you could also install, but I'm afraid it might render your Prime 3 lost. So I would advise agfainst trying that.

So I'll show you in pictures what I've done, so you can rebuild it in Prime 3.0.

Her goes:

Add (omega) to definition and all evaluations of Zpq.

Note that I get errors for the Re() and Im() functions because Prime Express considers them 'advanced' functions, too good to freely give away.

And here's the definition of omega as a range.

The definition of a range is: <first value>,<second value>..<end value>

You enter it as e.g. 2.2,2.25;2.6 to get 2.2, 2.25..2.6, then add the other multiplications to it.

Again I get an error message, due to the use of the Re() function.

 

This is my plot of the absolute values (vector length) of the complex numbers:

 

Success!

Luc.

 

If you do run in trouble trying to duplicate the above, don't hesitate to post your file.

I (and many more frequenters of this forum) can open it.

Thanks Kevin-

I'll look into this tomorrow.  In general this is far more complex than it should be compared to all other CAD systems I've ever used.  A simple hole tapped or not with a depth shouldn't require all of this..  Thanks for your time and effort and I'll look into this

 

Thanks

Try this and see if it works. Start out with a variable depth hole adding the countersink and counterbore individually to the hole. The hole note should display the thread call out as the default and when you add a countersink or counterbore it should add the appropriate information. After you see that work change the hole type in the hole feature to THRU_ALL, when you do that the only thing that should display is the thread call out. If you add the countersink or counterbore you should only see the thread call out displayed, save your file and close. Go to the *.hol file and edit the DRILLED_DEPTH value for the desired hole to THRU_ALL, save *.hol file and re-open Creo. Edit the definition of the hole, select the Note tab, and select Reset. If the sequence was done right you should see the correct information displayed.
