Density Transfer from Creo Elements/Direct to Creo Parametric
Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0
User Interface Location: > , or > .
Description
In Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0, the transfer of density information from to Creo Parametric 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 and Creo Parametric , data can be leveraged easily in Creo Parametric. 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. |
