    Add BSP thread to 2D drawing in CREO 2.0

    Update: I discovered that a hole feature is correctly dimensioned with a note. However, a cosmetic thread does not have such a note. See also this thread: https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/thread/111536 Apparently there is no way of parametrizing a cosmetic thread, and the info must be inserted...

    Add BSP thread to 2D drawing in CREO 2.0

    Hi all, I want to add BSP thread diameter on my 2D drawing, e.g. G1/4" I created a .hol file which I used to create the hole in the 3D model. However, the hole diameter on the drawing simply reads 13,16. This is the info in the .hol file: 1/4-19 0.518 19 11.8 0.4646 71% 17/32 0.5312 0 0 0 0 0...

    Adams/View - start and end of translation

    Okay, I discovered Contact under Special Forces :) My simulation failed at first because I was using STEP files which were imported as shells instead of solids. I will try to continue with this model, as I'm new to Adams and everything I do is already sufficiently complex for me... Thanks for...

    Adams/View - start and end of translation

    Hi all, I'm trying to model a hydraulic cylinder in Adams/View. I'd like to have the piston sliding inside the cylinder. A translational joint constraints the sliding direction, but the piston is still able to move through the cylinder. How do I make the piston stop, so it cannot pass through...
