This presentation includes handy design resources and discusses the importance of drafting and drawing creation in the engineering process. Nat walked USF engineering students through some of the dimensioning and tolerancing basics outlined in the
The style function in Creo can be used to quickly display cables, or create custom curves to use in swept features. Here are the steps required to create a cable between two connectors. Using assembly
The following slides are a quick and dirty summary of how and why we simplify CAD models for analysis. There is a lot of thought and experience that goes into the simplification decision making process, but the presentation
In this video Nat McCormick demonstrates the power of mapkeys in PTC Creo Parametric 3.0. These mapkeys can make your life as an engineer or designer much easier. Nat creates mapkeys to be used in
In this video Nat McCormick demonstrates how creating custom intent selection sets can save time and effort when modeling in Creo Parametric 3.0. He shows how to edit or remove edges from default intent chains
In this video Nat McCormick shows how to create a family table in a Creo part to generate multiple configurations quickly. He then shows how to show the parameters you care about in a table
In engineering and mechanical design, the need to exchange CAD data is required on a routine basis. Parametric CAD systems maintain links between files that can fail if the files are missing or if their
