• Does not delete geometry
• Continues sketch from previous locations
– UNDO deletes each individual sketched element one at a time
– ESC terminates function keeping the geometry created
10
DynaHandles
• Enhanced Editable tooltips in DynaHandles
– No longer require mouse click in the field before typing values
– Use the TAB key to move to & through fields
11
Extrude Profile Function

15
Revolve Face Function
• Enhanced Modify> Solid Face> Revolve creation by adding Dynamic option
– Easier, faster to define and adjust during preview using the DynaHandle tools
– The DynaHandles appear on the rotation axis that you selected.
16
New Quick BOM
• New Tools> BOM and Table> Create Quick BOM function
– Reduces the number of steps to generate a populated BOM
• Prompts for template to use
• Select items to include in BOM
• Place BOM Table
• Prompt for manual balloon placement
– Tables & template files still required for Quick BOM
• Can use existing Table (.btb) & Template (.btp) files
17
New Quick BOM (Cont’d.)
– Has balloon placement option
– Conversation bar prompts for:• Objects to be included in BOM
• Table placement location
• Balloon attachment position
• Balloon placement location
– Quick BOM result is accessible through regular BOM tool
• Modification
• Additional balloon
• Add/remove
• Output
18
New Quick BOM (Cont’d.)
– The default automatic parameter mapping file for template (.btp) creation is now an editable .csv
• …/Lang /English/BOMParameterMapping.csv
– Set to use File Properties
• An alternate file (BOMParameterMapping-PartProps.csv) is provided to replace default mapping with Part Properties instead of File Properties
– Rename to the default name : BOMParameterMapping.csv
• Case sensitive Header Names
19
New Quick BOM (Cont’d.)
– BOMParameterMapping.csv
20

Translators
• Support for Catia 5 Piping
– Import “Light” piping, BREP & piping attributes created via Catia5 Piping workbench
• Support for NX/Unigraphicsassembly cut feature
22
New 2D Drawing Translators
• New Translators for native 2D Drawing formats
– Catia 4 (.model, .mod, .dlv, .exp)• Versions 4.15 to 4.24.
– Catia 5 (.CATDrawing) • Versions R7 to R24.
– Pro/ENGINEER / Creo (.drw)• Versions Pro/ENGINEER 2000i to Creo 3.0.
– Unigraphics / NX (.prt) • Versions Unigraphics 10 to NX 9.
– Solidworks (.slddrw)• Versions 1999 to 2015.
23
New 2D Drawing Translators (Cont’d.)
– File Types appear in pulldownmenu
• IMPORT
• OPEN FILE
• UG/NX & Catia 4 do not have unique drawing file extensions so a new “drawing” file type is used
– Access controlled through “DRW” license feature
– There are no options for 2D drawing import/open
– Drawing will be created in KeyCreator LAYOUT space
• May have multiple layouts
• No model entities
24
New Text Search
• New Detail> Text Search function to search a .CKD file for text
– Searches within a Part & all its Layouts
25
New Text Search (Cont’d.)
– Lists results found with text & type information
– Dialog is modal & active for any part that is active
26
New Text Search (Cont’d.)
– Search options• General search
– Finds all occurrences of string
– Ignores case
– Wildcards not used
• Match Case option
– Finds exact matches
• Regular Expressions option
– Can use search tools
» Caution * (asterisk) does not behave like an expected wildcard
– Regular expression rules based on Microsoft link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb982727.aspx
27
New Text Search (Cont’d.)
– Search options• Regular expression tips
– Use link below to help explain & understand search tools
www.regex101.com
• La* vs. La.* example:
– La* - finds all occurrences of “L” & all occurrences “a”
– La.* - finds all occurrences of string “La”
– If you were searching for Layout ,You would use the regular expression La.*
28
Part References/Assemblies
• Enhanced Assemblies> Edit> Change All References
– More efficient processing of multiple occurring part references
30
Circular Dimensions
• Improved Circular Dimensions to work on Part References
– Now works as all other dimensions on part references
32

Analysis
• Free 30 day trial of the fullKeyCreator Analysis
• Existing KeyCreator customers with current upgrade to KC13.5 or higher are eligible for trial
• Trial includes all levels of analysis up through our top end solution, Simultaneous Expert with Dynamics [it includes multi-physics, buckling, frequency, large deformation, automatic contact, non-linear materials, etc.]
• After the trial period is complete you will continue to be able to run all features of KCA, except the mesh size will be limited to 2000 nodes .
• KeyCreator Analysis will continue to work for one full year from the date you activate your trial.
• Trial License available through License Wizard
36
Analysis (Cont’d.)
• Major enhancements to KeyCreatorAnalysis
– New improved meshing making it easier to create a quality mesh, improved reliability even with bad geometry
• Small feature suppression added as default setting to suppress very small element for extremely small geometry feature.
• Update meshing library is more robust and has more uniform/smooth tetra/tri/quad meshing.
– In FEA dock, the boundary between the top tree section and the lower dialog section can be moved.
– Enhanced shell analysis accuracy even at low mesh density.
37
Analysis (Cont’d.)
• Other enhancements to Analysis
– Geometry Tolerance for Tie/Glue can now be set
• Tie/Glue ‘Advanced Settings’ requires something selected so the master can be set and displayed.
• Master displayed on main Tie/Glue dialog
– Added plastic strain heat coefficeintoption for Non-Linear Material Von Mises.
– Improved display of contour temperature range when minimum value is near 0.0 for the current temperature units.
– Vector display improvement for principal stress.
– The contouring on/off state is remembered when changing tabs.
38
Analysis (Cont’d.)
• Fixes to Analysis
– Non-linear multipliers were sometimes staying around when the material was replaced by a new material from the library.
– Shell convection and radiation fixed when different thickness shells are used.
– Electrical plane strain model that was copied from a shell model. Shell thickness was still showing up. (This scenario is unlikely).
– Cutting plane integration fixed in the rare case that the cutting plane passes exactly through a face between two interior elements.
– Added warning if a NULL segment is encountered.
39
