This task adds a material to the model and can assign it. It is also possible to specify whether the skeleton model is also to be reworked.
The cross-task settings can be found in the chapter General task settings.
Model filter
This task can revise the following models: Parts
The task-specific settings are:
1.Material File
Enter the path to the material file without the file extension. The extension is automatically recognized by Creo when it is added.
Variables are available to describe the directory path more generically:
–@pro_material_dir@ describes the path to the .mpx file and is located under: Project directory/materials
–@project_dir@ describes the path from the Creo configuration pro_material_dir
2.Options
–Set as Current Material: Indicates if the new material is assigned to the current model.
–Enable this task for Skeleton Models (Non-Standard): Indicates if skeleton models are also to be reworked.
Please note: By default, the task does not assign material to skeleton models as this is not supported in Creo. However, there are exceptions where this may still be useful. |
Limitations
–Adding material files to assemblies is not supported.
–If you want to replace materials in sheet metal parts, you should look at the configuration option material_upd_smt_bend_table. This allows you to define how to handle SMT_Y_FACTOR (bend factor) and the bend tables.
–You can change the corresponding configuration options with the task Set Config Options during Model Processor runtime. The option only affects automatic substitution, not manual editing of the material.
Tip: You can use Variables. |
