Hello all,
is there anyone who has "integrated" Creo Simulate file into Windchill.
I understand that the result file which could be a few GB big will not be uploaded into Windchill but there are other types of file generated which could be useful to have along with the WTpart.
I am trying to define a process.
So far we have this
The CAD designer creates his design model and set it to an appropriate State in PDMLink
The FEA engineer creates a FEA Model using Inheritance features from the Design Model
The FEA engineer remove what is not needed from the Design Model (eg some cosmetic such as chamfer/radius)
The FEA engineer applies its constraints, load, mesh, conditions etc... This generates some files which we are hoping to manage in PDMLink and that they are seen by PDMLink as dependencies of the FEA Model which will be checked in to PDMLink.
At the moment we are investigating what is the best way to manage in PDMLink all those data and dependencies.
The picture we have with the above is that by looking at the Design Model one can see there is an inherated which is a FEA model (because of its name, or location).
In case of a future change, or a customer complains, we can quickly go back to what the FEA designer has done.
Obviously a report is created and added to the WTPart but the report could be "disconnected" from the constraints created by the FEA engineering. With our process we are hoping that we can quickly know what the FEA engineer has done at a given time in the past.
I hope this makes sense to all and you can provide me some feedback and compare with how you currently work.
Thank you and best regards
