assign a value to ptc_material_name

[gabrielem]

hi to everyone, I work with creo elements pro 5.0 and ask the question to whom of you know the version: I would like to program the ptc_material_name according to a layout parameter. practically after creating the library of materials I check more than one in the prt and then program them. In this way I would succeed with only one prt to manage two or more different materials (e.g. stainless steel, galvanized sheet etc.) that have different values of withdrawal on the folds etc. any of you do something like that?
thanks to all

Good morning, a performance inapposita area would be very welcome :smile:

coming to the therefore I think that you can start-part the fact of loading n materials in the model. then you can assign later that required, from relationship or from family-table column.

p.s. a question that comes to me (since I do not usually use sheet-metal) is this: are the bending parameters inherent in the material or are managed separately? because if they are managed separately I do not think that it is resolved simply by assigning to the part a different material, you have to go another way.. .

Hi.
a system can be to insert in the prt start-part all the desired materials and in relationships create a set of if that according to your layout parameter assigns the right material.
I have not verified well, but you should also update the fold parameters linked to the material, however check.
a fineness could be to manage the parameter at the level of together so that, you see a welded set, in one blow only you could change the material to all the details that make it.

today I managed to manage in a prt two different materials and assign them according to a parameter. to tell the truth it is not difficult to write in the reports of the prt that the value of the parameter ptc_material_name is equal to the name of the material. the problem is that then I can not regenerate the development of the sheet because it does not change the factor y. while changing all the other parameters present in the material file that I assign such as the specific weight or description. instead if I check manually first a material and then I change it with another I also change the development and this makes me mad!!! I know it's a bit twisted the speech, today I tried to force the value of the y_factor parameter but without result. . .

Hi.
I did a test, very quickly, with this method:
ptc_material_name = "fep01-8"
ptc_initial_bend_y_factor:mtrl_167 = 0.9, where mtrl_167 is the id of the parameter.
Looks like it works. Try, and let me know.

Sorry, I was a little busy at work and I was temporarily suspended this job. Today I try and let you know thank you very kind

Hello everyone, excuse the intrusion but I have a similar problem: having an internal die casting foundry we can produce the same detail with more alloys that have similar characteristics (depending on the shop office as the turns) and should insert in our paper mill all possible materials.
when you impose the material in clay you can assign only one material but "import" in the other materials not assigned, is there a way to be able to display materials in a table or paper? I've been looking for and I'm at a dead end...

Thank you so much!! !

Bye-bye
It's useless for you to ask the same question in more arguments. Are you clear?
