Q Simulate

[Flaviana Bresee]

Itry to use the simulate lite feature in creo parametric because the student license does not include the full simulate program, but nothing happens. When I click simulate, the message log at the bottom reads "Leaving Creo Simulate for the model...." and that's it. I'm trying to do a force analysis, is there another way to do this?

Iam also haveing this problem, makeing the creation of my thesis harder. I've also sent a message to the support about an other question, but it seems like PTC dont care about students. Zero response, for both topic.

Thanks for your answer, however i DID install Creo Simulate along with Parametric and it still didnt work. On the other hand the academic version can't even create a welding so, i'll just get a cracked version.

To access Creo Simulation features in your student version, press the Simulate button located in the Applications tab of PTC Creo. You will get the License Check that tells you that you have no license for Creo Simulate. After you press OK, you will be prompted with a Model Setup window. Select Simulate Lite under Compatibility Mode, then OK.

I have ordered an NI 9860 2-Port Hardware-Selectable NI-XNET C Series Module and 2 CAN-FD capable transceiver cables. Of course my time line for implementation is tight. I would like to write the driver I need before the hw arrives. For many NI devices I can go into MAX and simulate the device. It seems like that option isn't available for serial communications devices like the one I ordered.

Hi MickF,

There is no way to simulate the actual XNET modules in the same way as DAQ devices. For our simulated DAQ devices we are able to return dummy data (such as a simple sine wave for analog inputs), but XNET will have something completely different on every bus and behave differently based on that. Plus, to make use of an XNET Database for testing there needs to be Frames or Signals matching the information in the database coming from your CAN Bus.

That being said, NI-XNET is simple enough to use with a large number of examples in our LabVIEW Example Finder for you to investigate and begin working from. You should also be able to begin working on your NI-XNET Database if you have not already and plan to use one (this is required by all XNET Sessions except Frame Stream Sessions). If you are not familiar with XNET already, I would take this time to investigate some of the examples and take some time to look at our NI-XNET Hardware and Software Manual. Specifically, learn about the different Session types and timing types you will need to use so that you are already familiar with them once you receive your hardware.

sorry to resurrect such an old thread, is this still impossible to simulate? Is there a way to just simulate the module presence in MAX, even if it doesn't provide dummy data? That would be great to test some hardware configuration without testing actual data acquisition, populate some GUI selectors with available hardware names and things like that.

Is it possible to simulate an arbitrary key event from elisp? I am aware of ways that I can find the binding for a given key, and then call that command interactively, but what if that key event is not bound to a command?

You can feed arbitrary events (keystrokes, mouse clicks, etc.) to the command loop by putting them onto unread-command-events. For example, the following will cause the command loop to execute a break the next time it is run:

This will execute the command immediately. Beware, however, that some commands have different behaviour depending on whether they are called interactively, such as defaulting arguments. You'll want to compensate for that by using call-interactively:

This does seem to have some problems though if the second combination doesn't execute a function. So if escape is being used like Meta, then it doesn't work correctly. But it seems to work for commands bound to functions.

I'm very new to app development and I am looking for a way to simulate my location on my work iPad (and maybe even movement along a route) for testing and demonstration purposes. It's a work device and so is my computer, so both have some restrictions in place by our IT department. Also, after some internet research, I am using a PC (not Mac) computer, so I can't do the developer things through iOS.

Apple doesn't allow you to mock your locations at the OS level (unlike Android). You can do that for testing purposes in Xcode Device Simulator. The general way to approach this is to have an object handle location information in your application and make it configurable to either read the system location provider or handle an alternate input source (such as a file) and then use that object to pass location into the app.

To click through your HMI without a PLC (or simulated PLC), I believe @nminchin mentioned using a script to convert tags from OPC to memory tags (as @pturmel notes above) and vice-versa, which would be a slick way to go back and forth.

I have inherited a system built on a MySQL database using InnoDB tables. The system has a bug that shows up under heavy load. I have created some jmeter tests to load up the system hoping to see the bug in a controlled environment. However, I am not stressing the system correctly and the bug is never showing. The current theory is that heavily locked tables are causing a rollback, leaving the user's data in an odd state. This likely means that the transactions are not structured correctly and I want to find and fix that, but I need to find the problem first.

I surmise that if I can create various controlled "table locking loads" in the database I can then run my simulated users on the whole system and force the bug to occur or prove the theory wrong, but I'm not sure how to create such a thing. Does anyone have an idea for how best to do this? At this point I'm not even sure what a poor first version would look like, so any ideas to get me started would help. Thanks!

If you are specifically looking for a locked state for a row in a table (i assume this is what you mean unless you are performing alterations to the table itself on the fly). You can implement this by having a second script initiate a transaction on a set of rows and then pause for some period of time before rolling back or committing the transaction.

The moment you COMMIT or ROLLBACK the transaction in the MySQL prompt, things should continue normally, but until that point the rows will be in a locked state, unavailable for access. Which it sounds like is the condition you are attempting to replicate.

If your project contained the timeliner data (you could check it in Tasks tab), then you select the Simulate Tab, you would get into the Simulate mode automaticly. And the time is set to the start time of your project. At this time, your project haven't start yet, so that you can't see your model. You could start the simulation by click the "Play" button.

I'm just starting to play around with Navisworks. I had the same issue, The only way it worked for me is if the camera is in the same scene as the animations. The video I saw had a separate camera scene, but I'm not exactly sure how they combined the two.

Same here. Although the simulate tab had been working up until today, now when ever I select the simulate tab the model vanishes regardless of whether or not i'm playing the simulation. Anybody got the answer?

Has anybody solved this? I am having the exact same problem in Navisworks Manage 2021. Checked all my far clip settings, done all my selection sets, selected task types, dates included, pressed play, still nothing
