Exploring Creo Simulations and Design Iterations – Looking for Insights and Collaboration

19 Aug, 2024 12:55 PM

Hey Team,

I hope everyone’s doing great! I’m diving deep into a project that revolves around simulation and design iterations in Creo, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences. Specifically, I’m working on:

1.Simulation in Creo (Analytical/CAE)

How do you approach stress analysis and deflections in your designs?
Any tips for managing thermal considerations, like stress and heat distribution, in Creo?
What’s your strategy for fatigue analysis? How do you predict component lifespan under cyclic loads?
How do you factor in kinematic and dynamic aspects, such as motion analysis and vibrations?

2.Design Iterations

How do you ensure your designs are both reliable and optimized?
What challenges have you faced in making designs feasible for manufacturing and assembly?
How do you balance the requirements for installation and maintenance in your design process?
What’s your process for iterating designs based on simulation results to meet all project goals?

If anyone has some insights, tips, or even just experiences to share, it would be awesome to collaborate and learn together. And help me with it , can also make and send to me.

Send me your Mails if you want to make above said things for the model file

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Best,

Jaswinder Chopra

Hello Jaswinder,

I have very limited experience of structural analyses in Creo (and none with thermal simulations), but I can share a few links that you might find useful:

The last one is unfortunately in Italian, but I hope Google Translate can help making it sufficiently understandable.

First, I would suggest searching on the web for some reports on "simple geometry" including thermal loadcases and trying to replicate them in Creo - ideally I would look for analyses performed with well-known CAE suites like Ansys or Altair... before starting with your specific geometry. This will help you understand if settings in Creo about mesh, loads, constraints, etc. are correct.

For your question on design iterations, I would suggest looking at "Behavioral modeling extension" (BMX), which allows to run multiple analyses iterating combinations of dimensions: if you set correctly the boundaries of this "study" you may get an optimized result for your loadcase. Always consider some suitable safety factors according to the reliability of material datasheets you're using. See this demo:

As for fatigue, there's a "Fatigue Advisor Extension" which you might have access depending on your Creo license. I have never used it, but you may find some information on PTC's website.

Best regards and good luck for your simulations!
