Guidelines for Exporting Loads to Creo Simulate Structure Mode
Keep the following in mind when you create load sets to transfer to Creo Simulate Structure Mode:
• You can only save one load set with each component file. Part files have .prt extensions, and assembly files have .asm extensions.
• If you save a load set in a component file a second time (in the same or a different session of Mechanism Design), the second export will overwrite the first one.
• If you create a load set for a particular analysis, and then rerun the analysis, the values of the load set with the new analysis results are not automatically updated. You must create the load set once more.
• Each load set includes only measurable loads for a single rigid body.
• The same units are used for the loads and the component to save the load set.
• You must run an analysis in the same session of Mechanism Dynamics in which you create the load set.
• After you save a load set with a component file, you must open that component file in Creo Simulate to access the load set. If the component is a part or subassembly that is part of a top-level assembly, you cannot open the top-level assembly and access the Mechanism Dynamics load set.
• Load export is only available for Creo Simulate Structure Mode.
