Creo Parametric 3.0 - Simplified Reps (Assembly Tutorial)

[@quinnquynguyen8129]

Thank you! 5:30-6:20 was exactly what I sought! How to exclude some parts in an assy, and save the result as a rep. So I could make my dwg sheet 2 show the assy with the parts included, and sheet 3 show the assy excluding those parts. Happy New Year and Valentine's Day!

awesome video !!

Thanks!!

what is the best design approach mode for a concrete block machine in Creo 7.0

[@SeanMcDonnell33]

Definitely helpful. I like the part where you defined the meaning of each type of representation, however did I miss the part where you define what 'default' representation means? Is it basically the same thing as a 'master representation'?

[@CADPLMGuy]

Ah, that's a matter of personal prejudice. I don't use the Default Rep. By setting the Default Rep, you control which Simplified Rep is retrieved by default and used in the Default All Combination State. I personally don't like people setting that to anything other than the Master Rep - usually when people use it, they set it to a Custom Rep - because it can give the wrong impression to people if components are excluded. Since I don't use the Default Rep, it ends up being the same as Master.

@@CADPLMGuy After watching both of your simp rep videos and getting up to speed with the terminology here... that actually makes sense. Thank you!

Thanks very much by the video. If I have many types of wheels with different diameters that the screws are assembled into the “master rep”, is it necessary create the subassemblies for simplified reps?

[@CADPLMGuy]

Subassemblies and Simplified Reps are two different things. The former is a design tool while the latter is for large assembly management (in other words, lightening the load on your computer).

[@oscarsk587]

Thanks a lot! Your videos are very helpful, I have a question, what if I need to use the same part in two or more diferents simplified reps? I need do that with one large assembly in my work.

[@oscarsk587]

As complement I can tell you that the part I will use in diferent simplified reps, will be positioned in diferent places

[@CADPLMGuy]

Simplified Reps are a Large Assembly Management tool, not a design tool. They are used to improve your computer's performance. If you need the same component in different places in the same assembly, you should be using a design tool like Component Flexibility, Mechanism Connections, or Family Tables - not Simplified Reps.

​@@CADPLMGuy ok thanks for point that out! I will look in your channel a video that takl abou those tools that you mention, thanks a lot again!

[@oscarsk587]

​@@CADPLMGuy Continue with my working I have other two questions about simplified reps: 1. Can a welding feature be assigined to one simplified rep? and if possible how I can do that? because it doesn't appear in the window when I choose which components will be part of my simplified rep 2. Is there a way to show one of my simplified reps as the defaul rep when some one open my assemblie? My boss is asking me that one of the simplified reps be shown as the first you see when other engineer open the model in CREO I hope you can answer me these questions and thanks a lot again for your help!

[@CADPLMGuy]

1. At the assembly level, I don't believe so. 2. You can use the View Manager to redefine the Default Rep.
