Creo Parametric - Component Flexibility | Tutorial

This Creo Parametric tutorial video shows you how to define Flexibility in both parts and assemblies in order to have values and characteristics change depending on the assembly into which they are placed. It also shows how to define Component Flexibility on the fly as you're placing a component.

Hello Mr. Dave,
I've learnt more from your videos.
Thanks for contributing your knowledge and experience here.
Thank you...

Hello sir,
Thanks for the tutorial.It was helpful.I have understood the tutorial except how to give relation in relation dialogue box as you have not explained it.Can you please explain?

This seems like a good solution for varying components according to assemblies, but not for assembling components in various positions.

Hello sir, I have a hose pipe that I want to move as the rest of my assembly moves, however whenever I use drag tool to move the assembly, the hose pipe doesnt move. Could you help me out?

This was very helpful, thank you! Is there any way to show the spring as stretched/compressed in an assembly but in a relaxed/free state in an exploded view?

The NEW VALUE here is given as an input value like 18 or someting. Is it possible to make a drop down (like a list, 18, 20, 22, so that the user can't put arbitrary number or even if they can they have an option like pro program to see what value they can choose ) of NEW VALUE to choose. Thank you

Has this been updated? This is so clunky and time consuming. much easier in SolidWorks and its dynamic i.e. the spring moves in real time. Does Creo have anything like this?

Thank you sir for such a nice video. I am eager to know that will it work in simulation...just like when it is connected with two parts of a mechanism and one part of the mechanism is moved using "drag component" command? ....as we usually see in simulation of pin joint when the one the part is driven using servo motor.

Can you animate this? I have been unable to figure out how to model animate the spring and the assembly together. When in animation mode, I hit regenerate, it only updates the top level and not the lower level. Thoughts or ideas on how to go about doing this? I think it may have something to do with body definitions but not sure.
Also I subscribed to you.

Is there a video on how the extension spring was made?

Hi,

Thanks for thetips.
But : When I select the 2 points, nothing appear in the dimension box...

I wonder if I need a specifique licence to do it... Strange because I can access the menu of flexible, but not use it ?

Hope you can help,
Tutorial very clear btw

Best

Would this type of connection apply if installed on a non-Rigid constraint? What if the blue piece was on a Slider constraint?
Are those parameters important for this to work?
