Description
Starting with Creo+, Creo Intelligent Fastener introduces two new options:
Adding a second nut.
Adding a third washer.
These options support applications that require a combination of using three washers and HER (High Electrical Resistance) nut, particularly electrical connections. Using two nuts is a common method of preventing a nut from loosening.
These options are disabled by default and must be enabled in the Creo Intelligent Fastener options.
