GENIUS TOOLS Model Processor

This task replaces a model built on the first level with another model (corresponds to unconditional replacement in Creo Parametric).

The cross-task settings can be found in the chapter General task settings.

Model filter

This task can revise the following models: Assemblies

The task-specific settings are:

1.Name of the model to be replaced

Enter the name of the model to be replaced without the suffix. As soon as you have made an entry, another line for a further entry appears automatically. You can use RegEx. The icon opens the RegEx Editor.

Imports content from a CSV file to fill the input fields.

All entries are deleted, regardless of whether the entries were made manually or imported from a CSV file.

2.Name of the new model

Enter the name of the new model without the ending.

3.Options

You can activate additional options using the checkbox:

–Retrieve single models with same name
Reloading the model can be used, for example, to reload exploded family table instances. In this case, the assembly is loaded without the family table instances. The family table instances of the exploded family table are then reloaded. The family table instances are automatically replaced by the individual parts. You can then clean up the display in the model tree again with a regeneration (Force regeneration).

Alternatively, after reloading the models, the assembly can also be saved, closed and reloaded. After updating the model tree, you can see whether the parts have been replaced correctly. However, the saved part must also be reloaded so that the graphical representation of the newly installed part is correct. (The family table variant is detached from the family table).
