Assembly Modeling Entities, Idealizations, and Connections
If you have created modeling entities and idealizations in part mode, Creo Simulate disregards them in assembly mode. You must define them in assembly mode if you want to use them in this mode.
The following is a list of the modeling entities, idealizations, and connections that are ignored in assembly mode:
|
Modeling Entities
|
Idealizations and Connections
|
|---|---|
|
materials applied to geometry
|
spot welds
|
|
constraints in native mode
|
contacts
|
|
loads in native mode
|
|
|
measures
|
 |
In FEM mode, Creo Simulate respects part-level loads and constraints at the assembly level.
|
For example, if you are working in native mode and you model the individual parts of your assembly in part mode, the software ignores the loads you assigned to each part after you access Creo Simulate from assembly mode. When you access Creo Simulate from assembly mode, you can then define loads relevant to the assembly as a whole.
In any case, modeling entities that you assign while working from assembly mode have no bearing on modeling entities you assign while working from part mode, and the reverse.
