Auto-Loads™ for PTC® Creo® Simulate™ is a new plug-in that provides an automated solution for initializing simulation conditions after importing those from a text file.
The main features of the plug-in include:
- Import user’s text document;
- Perform interactive constraints selection;
- Use existing load sets from the user’s text file;
- Apply the imported information and display changes in the browser tree and on the model in a session;
- Validate the correctness of the imported data;
- Create datum points from the <x, y, z> locations with offsets.
Format of the required text file:
SurfaceName
. . .
LOADSET<load_set_name>
FORCES<Fx,Fy,Fz,Mx,My,Mz>
POINT<X,Y,Z>
REFERENCE<SurfaceName>
The video demonstrations below shows how Auto-Loads for Creo Simulate can be used to import loads settings automatically and apply it for the simulation study.
