In Generative Design, you can now define a remote force load through a point and apply it to preserved geometry surfaces. The total load at the point can behave in one of two ways:

  • Deformable (Default): Allows the connected bodies to deform without adding stiffness to the system.
  • Rigid: Prevents deformation of the connected bodies and adds stiffness to the system.

Additionally, you can define Deformable or Rigid behavior for moment loads. Unlike force loads, moment loads do not require a remote point but instead send the centroid of the selected areas to the optimization solver.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location:

1.In the Generative Design application, click Loads > Force. The Force Load dialog box opens.

2.In the Distribution list, select Total load at point.

Benefits:

This enhancement enables you to easily apply a distributed force over the selected reference, ensuring the load is accurately applied. It allows you to capture the design intent more effectively while maintaining the necessary loading conditions without compromising accuracy.

Additional Information:

  • Limitations: Defining a force load through a point is supported only in Structural studies.
  • Does this replace existing functionality? No.
  • Configuration Option: No specific configuration option is associated with this functionality.

With this new feature, you gain more control and flexibility in applying force and moment loads, optimizing your generative design process.
