Manikin Lite: We talked about the release of the Pro/Manikin tools when they were announced sometime ago. CAM Lite brings basic 2/5 axis milling tools, allowing you to machine basic prismatic parts, but in full 5 axis positioning if you need it. PTC’s NC related tools got a boost with the company’s aquisition of NC graphics last year. The system guides you through setting up loads and constraints and full results inspection and visualisation tools.ĬAM Lite: PTC has had Pro/NC for a long time and while there’s been some adoptance, CAM is something that needs serious attention in terms of sales and development to make sure it gains traction. The interface guides you through the process of carrying structural analysis of not only parts (as is done in SolidWorks and Inventor) but also assemblies. What PTC has announced today is bringing a taster of these technologies with stripped back or ‘Lite’ functionality to every user – based on three areas.ĬAE lite: This follows the basic FEA tools found in other systems, using the Pro/Mechnica technology to create a simplified user interface to analysis. With the product and range of technology that the company has in its arsenal, with everything from analysis and simulation, through CAM and into digital mockup, the fact that there was no real way to gain a step into those areas, was a real sticking point.

Suggested Techniques for Increasing Performance when Working with Large Assembly Drawings at ' htt p://s_25/howto /vew1046/v ew1046.htm' Kindly refer following documents: TPI 111330 "Increasing The Per-Process Memory Limit in Windows XP Professional (32-bit) for Pro/ENGINEER via Microsoft's /3GB switch." at ' ww.ptc.com /appserver /cs/view/s olution.js p?n=111330' As I already informed you about Microsoft windows limitation regarding memory utilization. Dedicate the graphic card to Pro/ENGINEER by setting the performance properties of the graphic card. Run Pro/ENGINEER without any config.pro file loaded.ģ. Set the config.pro option "graphics" to "win32_gdi"Ģ. Note: You must set this option in the main config.pro (mine is in C:\PTC-Apps\wildfire2\text\config.pro) BEFORE you launch WildfireĪlso Google "PTC Certified drivers" for a list of approved drivers for your card.ġ. I don't think you'll get the maximum performance out of your graphics card, but if you see an improvment at least you'll know you're on the right trac I opened a call with PTC recently and below is the response from tech support (I tried option one - setting the config graphics option to win32_gdi - and saw a huge performance improvement). I'm jumping in a little late here but there is a config option you can set that may help the performance.
