Creo Parametric - Creo Simulate Convergence Methods

[@jonbixby2317]

Creo Simulate (like Pro/Mechanica) felt like to me that I had to know how to interpret BOTH the data going into the pending analysis to be read and also the output of said analysis. If I was ignorant of the various inputs, then I had little business attempting to use the data being offered as an output of the analysis. A man has got to know his limitations. You make this Simulate package come across as understandable. Your MIT credentials and time working at PTC are on great display lately with these "advanced" Creo Parametric tutorials. Thank you "professor".

Really appreciate you posting this! They breezed over a lot of this stuff in my FEA class.

How should we determine the optimum convergence percentage for particular fea run?why can't we keep convergence percentage very low or say 5% in every simulation run?..

[@AbhishekKumar-vf5ep]

Sir can we increase no of grid for capturing better fea results?

I suggest you watch some of my other videos on Creo Simulate. This is a complicated answer. Creo Simulate uses Geometric Element Analysis, not Finite Element Analysis. In GEA, you increase the polynomial order to get better results, not the number of elements like in traditional FEA. But you can add Mesh Controls to areas of the model to get more elements if the analysis is not converging to a solution.

Is the Auto GEM button available in all versions of CREO Simulate?

[@CADPLMGuy]

It’s not available in Creo Simulate Lite.
