      Preface

      Creo Parametric 4.0 is a parametric, feature-based solid modeling tool that not only unites the three-dimensional (3D) parametric features with two-dimensional (2D) tools, but also addresses every design-through-manufacturing process. The continuous enhancements in the software has made it a complete PLM software. The software is capable of performing analysis with an ease. Its compatibility with CAM software is remarkable. Based mainly on the user feedback, this solid modeling tool is remarkably user-friendly as compared to its previous versions and it allows you to be productive from day one.

      To support education, PTC gives free educational version of the Creo to students with a license of 1 year. You can get your free version of software by visiting the following link:

      The Creo Parametric 4.0 Black Book is the second edition of our series on Creo Parametric. With lots of additions and thorough review, we present a book to help professionals as well as learners in creating some of the most complex solid models. The book follows a step by step methodology. In this book, we have tried to give real-world examples with real challenges in designing. We have tried to reduce the gap between university use of Creo Parametric and industrial use of Creo Parametric. In this edition of book, we have included many new features of Creo Parametric like 3D printing, MBD (Model Based Definition), Family tables, Mechanism Design, 3D PDFs, and so on. There are about 60 topics newly added in this book which were not in the previous edition. The book covers almost all the information required by a learner to master Creo Parametric. The book starts with sketching and ends at advanced topics like Sheetmetal, Surface Design, 3D Printing and MBD. Some of the salient features of this book are :

      In-Depth explanation of concepts

      Every new topic of this book starts with the explanation of the basic concepts. In this way, the user becomes capable of relating the things with real world.

      Topics Covered

      Every chapter starts with a list of topics being covered in that chapter. In this way, the user can easy find the topic of his/her interest easily.

      Instruction through illustration

      The instructions to perform any action are provided by maximum number of illustrations so that the user can perform the actions discussed in the book easily and effectively. There are about 1200 small and large illustrations that make the learning process effective.

      Tutorial point of view

      At the end of concept’s explanation, the tutorial make the understanding of users firm and long lasting. Almost each chapter of the book has tutorials that are real world projects. Moreover most of the tools in this book are discussed in the form of tutorials.

      Project

      Free projects and exercises are provided to students for practicing.

      For Faculty

      Figure-17. New File Options dialog box

      • Select the desired template and click on the OK button to create the file.

      The description of various file types displayed in the New dialog box is given next.

      Layout

      The Layout radio button in the New dialog box is used to create new layout files. Layout files are used to create layouts based on the ideas. In the layout environment, we can create 2D sketches, we can import images, we can import and edit other layouts, and so on.

      Sketch

      The Sketch radio button is used to create sketches which are the base blocks for 3D models.

      Part

      The Part radio button is used to create 3D models. There are four sub-types for this radio button; Solid, Sheetmetal, Bulk, and Harness.

      • The Solid sub-type is used to create solid/surface 3D models.

      • The Sheetmetal sub-type is used to create sheetmetal models.

      • The Bulk sub-type is used to create representation of model elements in assembly. For example, you need a generator of specific kind in your assembly but you do not want to model it, then you can save generator in the bill of material (BOM) by making it a bulk part.

      • The Harness sub-type is used to creating wiring in the model. This button is generally active when you are working in an assembly and from within the assembly, you need wire harness or pipe harness.

      Assembly

      The Assembly radio button is used to create assemblies of solid/sheetmetal parts. There are 10 sub-types for this radio button; Design, Interchange, Verify, Process Plan, NC Model, Mold layout, External simplified representation, Configurable Module, Configurable product, and ECAD.

      • The Design sub-type is used to create assembly designs.

      • The Interchange sub-type is used to create a special type of assembly that you can create and then use in a design assembly. An interchange assembly consists of models that are related either by function or representation. You can create both functional interchanges (to replace functionally equivalent components) and simplify interchanges (to substitute components in a simplified representation) in the same interchange assembly. Interchange assemblies, like family tables and layouts, provide a powerful method of automatic replacement.

      • The Verify sub-type is used to verify the model with respect to the point cloud generated by laser scanner. We get a scan data from the laser scanner for the manufactured assembly and then we compare it with our model.

      • The Process Plan sub-type is used to document the process of assembling/dis-assembling parts in the assembly.

      • The NC Model sub-type is used to create manufacturing model of the assembly.

      • The Mold layout sub-type is used to create layouts for molds.

      • The External simplified representation sub-type is used to create representations of the assembly. These representations can be saved independent of the parent assembly file.

      • The Configurable module sub-type is used to create modules that consist of parts and assemblies interrelated to each other by some related. The module can be configured with the help of variables.

      • The Configurable product sub-type is used to create configurable assemblies.

      • The ECAD sub-type is used to create electronic board design.

      Manufacturing

      The Manufacturing radio button is used to create manufacturing models for creating nc codes of cnc machines. There are 8 sub-types available for this radio button; NC assembly, Expert Machinist, CMM, Sheetmetal, Cast cavity, Mold cavity, Harness, Process plan, and Additive Manufacturing.

      • The NC assembly sub-type is used to create assembly model for manufacturing a component on nc machine like turning centers and milling centers.

      • The Expert Machinist sub-type is used to perform the same work as done in NC assembly sub-type. But, the Expert Machinist is a lite version of NC assembly and is having limited tools to perform action. A book with the name Creo Manufacturing 2.0 for Designers and Machinists is already available in the market on this topic from same author.

      • The CMM sub-type is used to create programs for Coordinate Measuring Machines.

      • The Sheetmetal sub-type is used to generate nc codes for sheetmetal forming machines.

      • The Cast cavity sub-type is used to create cavity for casting the model part.

      • The Mold cavity sub-type is used to create mold for the model part.

      • The Harness sub-type is used to create wiring/piping for manufacturing/lay outing.

      • The Process plan sub-type is used to generate manufacturing process plan.

      • The Additive Manufacturing sub-type is used to create products by 3D printing and other additive manufacturing techniques.

      Drawing
