How to provide "Termination condition" in a Kinematic type analysis?

CSi — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 05:42:34 GMT

I am trying to run a Kinematic type analysis. I could not see the option to enable Termination Condition for the analysis in Kinematic type of analysis. How can I terminate the run after meeting a certain specified condition? Thanks!

From "Help Center" - "About Termination Conditions": https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r11.0/usascii/index.html#page/simulate/mech_des/about_termination_conditions.html#

Option to specify termination condition exists only in Dynamic Analysis. I am trying to specify termination condition in a Kinematic Analysis. Is there any workaround?

Hi @CSi ,

A couple more topics down in the Help Center from @VladimirN 's link confirms Termination Conditions are only valid for Dynamic Analyses. For a Kinematic termination workaround, the definition of the analysis and use of motors, constraint limits, etc. can be considered and implemented.

Thanks! Mike.
Is there a example or document describing the same. Would be of much help.

Just wondering, why would PTC enable Termination Conditions only in Dynamic type of analysis?

Dynamic analyses can take a very long time (several hours).

The termination condition is helpful for this (time saving).
