Creo Parametric - Mechanisms and Cam Synthesis Curves

[@nicholastenison6019]

Best Creo Tutorial I have seen, more than just a simple example and in depth knowledge of cool features

[@CADPLMGuy]

Thanks. The models and most of the demo comes from PTC's Mechanisms classes from the Wildfire days.

wow. This is so good! I'll definitely need to re-watch and practice, but as someone who has never used any of these creo features I now feel like I have a much better understanding of the process and workflow required to achieve the end result. Very helpful as always thank you so much!

[@CADPLMGuy]

Thanks, Sean. Cam synthesis curves have a very specific purpose and they are extremely useful for that particular design problem. It's one of those little nuggets that are good to keep in your toolbox, and I like how this technique simulates the desired motion, and then backs out the geometry necessary to achieve that.

Hi sir, thanks for the video, I learnt a lot but when I am replicating the same my cam synthesis curve is shown to be just a plain circle instead of the normal cam shape you get at 14:54. Any help would be immensely helpful

Very nice presentation of how to define a cam curve. Have you ever used an modified sine in stead of a cosine function to drive a vavle?

[@CADPLMGuy]

I have not.

Could you please add videos about the Measure icon in the mechanism app?

[@CADPLMGuy]

That is on my To Do list. Just have never thought of a good scenario.

Video was perfect and I really liked the way you taught. When I'm trying to replicate the same I'm getting a error like " Assembly failed " , " The mechanism constraint couldn't satisfy ", " The mechanism couldn't assemble ". I'm getting this error whenever I try to include cams mechanism. Could you help me out

[@CADPLMGuy]

Setting the config option enable_implied_joints to no might help.

@@CADPLMGuy . Thank you. Will try
