Density Transfer from Creo Elements/Direct to Creo Parametric
Creo+
User Interface Location: File > Import, or File > Open.
Description
In Creo+, the transfer of density information from Creo Elements/Direct to Creo+ is optimized.​​ The Open and Import workflows automatically create a dedicated material for each imported part. The material density is set to the Base Density of the respective source part.​ The material name is derived from the source part name, by adding the suffix _MTRL to each part name. In addition, the part parameter PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL is automatically set to the created material. ​With this enhancement, the original density information for imported models is leveraged automatically.​​
Benefits
Density information was previously transferred only as a parameter that had to be linked via a relation to the target model density. This was a cumbersome process, and it required a regeneration when opening the model.​
Now, with the enhanced interoperability​ between Creo Elements/Direct and Creo+,Creo Elements/Direct data can be leveraged easily in . You no longer need to use relations in import templates to assign density.​
Additional Information
Tips:
In addition to the previous parameter CED_DENSITY, there is now a new component parameter called CED_COMPONENT_INSTANCE_DENSITY. This parameter is set to the instance-level density value.
Limitations:
No known limitations.
Does this replace existing functionality?
No.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:
None.
