Mathcad/Pro/ENGINEER Integration for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0
An introduction to enabling predictive engineering by adding Mathcad "function" to the "form" and "fit" of Pro/ENGINEER.
With the Mathcad/Pro/ENGINEER Integration plug-in, a Pro/TOOLKIT application for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0, design engineers have the ability to apply engineering calculations from Mathcad worksheets to their Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 models.
This integration provides a rudimentary connection between Pro/ENGINEER models and Mathcad worksheets for Wildfire 2.0 users until they upgrade to the full, built-in production capability in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0. This is achieved via custom functions added to the Pro/ENGINEER relations editor. The Mathcad/Pro/ENGINEER Integration Toolkit plug-in is downloaded here from PTC.com and applies only to users of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0.
Capabilities & Benefits:
- Create Pro/ENGINEER relations to identify and open Mathcad worksheets in a Mathcad session which runs in the background
- Enable Mathcad calculations to drive Pro/ENGINEER models by creating relations to return Mathcad results variable values to Pro/ENGINEER for assignment to parameters or dimensions via relations
- Enable Pro/ENGINEER model data to drive Mathcad calculations by creating relations to send Pro/ENGINEER parameter or dimension values to Mathcad as assignment variable values
- Direct bi-directional integration saves time and reduces errors
