For years I’ve studied the tips and tricks of Creo (aka Wildfire or Pro/Engineer), the techniques they don’t teach you in school, the stuff that makes it look easy. That means by the time you finish watching these videos you’ll have some cool new tools to use, perhaps even a new approach to an old problem and we’ll even have some fun along the way.
Sharpen your skills with over 50 instructional videos covering a wide array of topics.
Here we explore a possible usage of multi-bodies in a Skeleton part that drives an assembly of a Geodesic Sphere.
This is an introduction to the creation and use of the User Defined Feature or UDF.
Controlling Area Propagation of an arbitrary blended flow passage along a 3-dimensional path.
Managing a really large assembly, the Starship Enterprise! Use these techniques to leverage true Top Down Design.
Creating and Controlling a line of bolts can be quick, easy and flexible.
Here is a suggested technique to develop a fully parametric vehicle track and/or chain assembly.
So, what if you need a pattern of components where each component varies with respect to their assembly?
When developing a welded assembly, managing a viable simulation model presents the engineer with a unique challenge.
Getting the tube cut list and the "Fish Mouth" definition right is a challenge by itself never mind keeping up with all the changes.
Understanding the options, as well as the nuance of the selection process is critical to the mastery of any CAD tool.
Powerful, flexible, and extremely robust this largely misunderstood feature deserves some special attention.
Associated with every parameter there is an upper and a lower tolerance parameter. Not only can these be displayed on the face of drawing, they can be used in the design process.
Take ten minutes to explore what the Datum Graph can do for you.
There are many options when creating patterns. Find here how to speed up regeneration time as well as allow for great design flexibility with “Turbo” Patterns.
The topic of "Surface Modeling" is rather broad and somewhat ambiguous. In this three part series we will explore a number of the options and usefulness of the Surface Modeling methodology.
This tip explores the differences between Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, the specific Copy Geometry features, and explains the advantages as well as the limitations of each approach.
Managing the development of assembly mechanisms using a skeleton has introduced some special challenges.
Even though it may not have originally been implemented for hoses, learn how to add hoses to you assemblies as Flexible Components!
In this tip we'll discover the subtle nuance that make helical shapes very straight forward as well as flexible.
Many users of have access to the Style Feature with the ISDX Extension but few realize its usefulness.
This tutorial highlights the “Find Tool” as it applies to both Part and Assembly levels as well as to layers.
Here’s a simple way to manage Shared Part Contours.
After watching this lesson and a little practice you'll not hesitate to leverage Mechanica to make better engineering decisions everyday.
Make Engineering Drawings more Attractive as well as Accurate without extra work.
This tutorial covers what it takes to establish Layer Rules, populate the layers in an intelligent manner and allow the user to fully reset the Layer scheme to match their environment.
Explore the Flexibility option at the assembly level. See how to use the Warp Feature with "Flexibility".
Understand how to apply and really make good use of a User Defined Analysis using a Field Point.
See how to use Mechanism Connections along with a Skeleton in a Top-Down design approach!
See how to use sheet-metal features in conjunction with a Top-Down design.
Ever wonder what the options for the Variable Section Sweep tool are all about? Wonder no more!
Learn a new and exciting way to build stability and flexibility into your models.
Challenge Part walk-thru. After you work this part you'll have better understanding of surface modeling techniques.
An excellent primer as an introduction to solid modeling covering many of the basics
This tutorial shows you how to use the Feasibility Study within the Behavioral Modeling Extension in Wildfire
