Hi
i would like to visualize a signal from a cable to a sps using vuforia studio. the signal should then be displayed with ptc creo view. unfortunately i can't figure out how to go about the whole thing. Could anyone help me?
thanks in advance

Hi, if you really want to show the signal in Creo View, you would need to create an animation in Creo Illustrate. (Maybe an sphere that moves along the cable)

If you want to show the signal in Vuforia View, you can do the same or move a texture on you cable that represents the signal. Something similar is described here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio/Simulate-Fluid-Flow/m-p/670190#M8349

Hi @AS_12358642 , what of display is required there , do you have a picture?

When you want something like color depending on the signal, or different cintensity along the cable, I think as @sebben refered to the post , that could be done by shaders (GLSL for Chrome preview, Android and iOS and HLSL for HoloLens 2 devices). The shader coould use paramters which could be changed dynamicaly by setting of the shader property. So that you could be able to display some space distrubtion what could be change during the time. To have impression what is possible with shaders you can visit that page https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=signal

and general shader informaiton https://thebookofshaders.com/ e.g. https://thebookofshaders.com/07/ https://thebookofshaders.com/11/

thanks for the help and sorry for the late reply. is this approach the only way? wouldn't it be possible to make the cad model light up with a simple javascript?

Thank you for the message. I don't think I would use a shader for it though. Is there a way to make the part light up with java script?

Yes that is also possible. Something like this is done in this post:

Let me know if this is helping you.
