1. Understanding Creo Parametric Concepts

• Module Overview:
– In this module, you learn about the basic concepts and benefits of solid modeling using
Creo Parametric. You then learn how complex models can be easily created using a
combination of simple features. Parametric capabilities that are native to Creo Parametric
enable you to easily add design intent and make design changes. Associativity means
that a change made to your solid model design is automatically propagated to all
referenced objects, such as drawings, assemblies, and so on. You also learn how a
model-centric modeler enables the creation of downstream deliverables with references
to, and driven by, the design model.
– Finally, you learn how to recognize some of the basic file extensions used to identify
different types of Creo Parametric objects.
• Objectives:
– Understand solid modeling concepts.
– Understand feature-based concepts.
– Understand parametric concepts.
– Understand associative concepts.
– Understand model-centric concepts.
– Recognize basic Creo Parametric file extensions.

1. Understanding Creo Parametric Concepts
 Understanding Solid Modeling Concepts

• Creo Parametric enables you to create


realistic solid model representations of your
part and assembly models. These virtual
design models can be used to easily visualize
and evaluate your design before costly
prototypes are manufactured.
• The models contain material properties such
as mass, volume, center of gravity, and
surface area.

 Understanding Feature-Based Concepts

• Creo Parametric is a feature-based product development tool. The models are


constructed using a series of easy to understand features rather than confusing
mathematical shapes and entities.
• The geometric definition of a model is defined by the type of features used and the
order in which each feature is placed. Each feature builds upon the previous feature
and can reference any of the preceding features, therefore enabling design intent to
be built into the model.

 Understanding Parametric Concepts

• Creo Parametric models are value-driven that use dimensions and parameters to
define the size and location of features within the model. If you edit the value of a
feature dimension, that feature updates accordingly. The change then
automatically propagates through to related features in the model and eventually
updates the entire part.

 Understanding Associative Concepts

• Bi-directional associativity means that


all changes made to an object in any
mode of Creo Parametric are
automatically reflected in every
related mode.

• Best Practices
• Because drawing and assembly files have associative links to the models
contained in them, these objects cannot be opened without the presence of the
models they contain.
• Essentially, you cannot send your colleague only a drawing file to open. He or she
must have the drawing file along with any model referenced in the drawing. For an
assembly, he or she must have the assembly file and all models used in the
assembly.

1. Understanding Creo Parametric Concepts
 Understanding Model-Centric Concepts

• In a model-centric product development tool, the design model is the common


source for all deliverables utilizing that specific design model. This means that all
downstream deliverables point directly to a common design model. The model is
referenced as components in assemblies, views in a drawing, the cavity of a mold,
geometry meshed in an FEM model, and so on.
• The benefit of using a model-centric development tool is that a change made to the
design model automatically updates all related downstream deliverables.

2. Understanding the Main Interface
 Understanding the Main Interface

• There are many different


areas of the Creo
Parametric user interface
that you utilize when
creating models. The
areas that display depend
upon the function you are
currently performing.

10
2. Understanding the Main Interface
 Understanding the Main Interface

Areas of the main interface include:


• Graphics window – The working area of Creo
Parametric in which you create and modify Creo
Parametric models such as parts, assemblies, and
drawings.
• In Graphics toolbar – Located at the top of the
graphics window, the In Graphics toolbar contains
commonly used tools and filters for the graphics
window display. You can customize the tools and
filters displayed in the In Graphics toolbar.
• Quick Access toolbar – By default, the Quick Access
toolbar is located at the top of the interface. It
contains a commonly used set of commands that are
independent of the tab currently displayed in the
ribbon. These commands are available regardless of
the specific mode or ribbon tab in which you are
working. You can customize the Quick Access
toolbar to add additional commands.

 Understanding the Main Interface

Ribbon – A context-sensitive menu across the top of the interface that contains the majority of
the commands you use in Creo Parametric. The ribbon arranges commands into logical tasks
through tabs and groups.

Dashboard – Locked at the top of the user interface, the dashboard appears when you create
or edit the definition of a feature. The dashboard provides you with controls, inputs, status, and
guidance for performing a task, such as creating or editing a feature. Changes are immediately
visible on the screen. Various dashboard tabs are available with additional feature options.
Dashboard icons on the left include feature controls while the Pause, Preview, Create Feature,
and Cancel Feature options are located on the right.

 Understanding the Main Interface

• Dialog boxes – Content-sensitive


windows which display and prompt you
for additional information.

• Status bar – Located at the bottom of


the interface, the status bar contains
icons for toggling the Navigator and PTC
Creo Parametric browser panes on and
off. It also contains the message log,
regeneration manager, search tool, 3D
box selector, and selection filter.

 Understanding the Folder Browser

• The Navigator is a pane in the Creo


Parametric user interface that contains a
series of tabs across the top.

14
2. Understanding the Main Interface
 Understanding the Web Browser

• The PTC Creo Parametric


browser, or Web browser, is an
integrated content viewer within
Creo Parametric. It works in
conjunction with the Folder
Browser so you can find files on
your computer as well as browse
Web pages. The Web browser is
embedded in the Creo
Parametric interface and slides
over the graphics window. The
Web browser is divided into
three sections: file list, preview
window, and browser controls.

 Setting the Working Directory and Opening and Saving Files

Setting the Working Directory


The working directory is the designated location for
opening files and saving new files. Typically, the
default working directory is the directory from which
Creo Parametric is started. However, there are
three methods to define a new working directory:
• From the Folder Tree or Web browser – Right-
click the folder that is to be the new working
directory and select Set Working Directory.
• From the File menu – Click File > Manage
Session > Select Working Directory. Browse to
and select the directory that is to be the new
working directory. Click OK.
• From the File Open dialog box – Right-click the
folder that is to be the new working directory and
select Set Working Directory
