    Changing import coordinate systems

    Create additional coordinate systems within the Part/assembly and assemble the igs data to these that way the Igs can be translated by reorienting the co ordinate systems but will export relative to the global. I would suggest creating one co ordinate system per import then you can control...

    Topology bus no longer working

    Got an answer out of PTC the topology bus works on WF3 M140 and then is unusable until WF4 M150, but hats off to PTC they have fixed a date code WF3 M250 for me to download.

    proe surface generation question?

    Here is a quick surfacing of the end of your wing for you as an example any problems mail mehttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ef7693b5-8b08-48a7-b79e-9fb046326c9c&file=prt0001.prt.1

    proe surface generation question?

    The geometry is not that complex upto the end of the wind creating the sections along the length of the wing and then using surface blend, picking the sections in turn will give you this fairly easily if you can imagine the wing being similar to a chinese lantern and you are creating the wire...

    Pro-e Point Import

    You will have to either create a curve through points which if planer you can then fill to attain an area, or sketch using the points as reference producing a closed shape which you can the then fill and query the area. Or if the points are scans through a shape you could try creating a boundary...

    Topology bus no longer working

    I use the topology bus infrequently but the option is useful when you wish to alter the number of defining sections within a surface that is defined from a file (.ibl) but for some reason the option no longer appears to work under wildfire 3 date code M230, I'm not sure if this has been moved to...

    Turbine last stage blade Cyclic symmetry problem v12.1

    Managed to solve this one. Ansys 11 and 12 permit cyclic symmetry within one part which is not possible within this multiple part blade assembly, but in 13 I was able to create the two halves of the strut rotated apart by one pitch as a single part in pro/e and then reading the complete blade...

    Turbine last stage blade Cyclic symmetry problem v12.1

    I'm Creating a turbine last stage blade 36" long with a sector of the disc included. I have realigned the global co ordinates to pass through the model c of g and also make the specification of the rotational axis easier or so I thought. The matching of the meshes for symmetry works for the...

    What is the best way to import multiple models into Mechanical project

    Check the units in your 3d software ansys won't import metric and imperial models within the same analysis, another thing to check is are they both solids.

    Fixing IGES File surface data

    one of the early ways to fix a gap before entering pro/e heal geometry menu's is to export the iges from pro/e as the software must attempt to heal the geometry it'self during the export and then read in the newly generated file, it may not help you but it's worth a try Secondly the iges...

    Dividing Only Surfaces

    There is an easier way to approach your problem in workbench you need to create a local co-ordinate system around the are in question this may take a few attempts to get the location correct based on your global co-ordinate system if there isn't a suitable edge locally you can pick, then in the...

    Datum curves from file , how can i create it??

    I use ibl files all the time for turbine blade geometry, the geometry is broken in to section heights with each section split into four curves, there are generally 120 points per section, 10 for the leading edge and trailing edge radii and 50 points for the pressure and suction surfaces stopping...

    Associative Topology Bus

    Thanks Hora, but I have already done that but for some reason in 2001 it does not recognise that, the 'filename' with a suffix of .ibl has been modified i.e a later date, I'm really hoping that PTC had a hidden config to enable pro/e to read more than just the likes of iges files which is the...

    Associative Topology Bus

    In wildfire it appears if you enable the topobus it is possible to update features that are created by reading in file data such as iges and .ibl data by deleting the original source file and replacing with the new file with the amended data by asking pro to update, , the problem I have is we...

    Choices in Software for Stress Analysis??

    Pro/e willl import directly into ansys and their other software Design Space. Both of theses packages on version 7 are begining to look similar. Check their website out but I have no complaints.

    Rounds

    Rounds are often controlled from the surrounding surfaces. So switch tangency to phantom and then switch to wire frame the lines of tangency will now be chain dotted and a tangency error will be more evident. Try putting in a smaller round first and then increase the rad until it fails or...

    DXF Output

    PTC dont publish much on data transfer between systems i.e Proe to DXF or any other format but if you look in your installation of proe this was mine below d:\PTC\proe2001\test\intf_configs\dxf_export.pro you'll find the setup for the conversion of the lines from Pro/e to DXF. We use a...

    uses of customization in proe

    A good site that has varoius configs for pro/e is the following: http://www.fawcett.com/index.php You have to join but at no cost to view/download the files Will give you a colourmap configwin lights and model tree configs.

    ProE Airfoil Extrusion? How?

    We generate a <filename>.ibl file for aerodynamic forms used in steam turbines. The format is below. We split the aerofoil into four curves the nose and trailing edge radii and the pressure and suction surfaces. We generally as a rule use 50 points on the pressure and suction surfaces and 10 on...
