Fix problem introduced in Creo 3 Creo Simulate fasteners and materials fail instead of being suppressed while in a simplified rep causing meshing failures and analysis running failures or to terminate and fail.

Hi,

I have found as of Creo 3 M080 that using simplified reps can cause issues with running Structural analysis in Simulate.

Simplified reps cause materials, fasteners, or other simulate features related to components excluded by the reps to fail in Creo 3 where in Creo 2 they would have been suppressed.

This causes you to have to delete them in order to trouble shoot large assemblies (isolate areas of the assembly) or to do analysis on different configurations no,

Please vote on this issue and submit a PTC case if you have maintenances.

sample files in creo 2 & 3 are attached to the product idea and our case number can also be found using the link above.

Thanks,
