This is a very useful demonstration that shows how important is to structure the foundation of a product since the beginning of the design phase. However I would like to know with this method how does the designer implement the assembly joints and mechanism connections (pin, slider, etc.) ? because from what I saw every subassembly and part at this stage is defined by the default constraints for placement. thank you
Very good question. I don't have videos on this yet (eventually there will be) and I'm not trying to plug my book but I do cover the two methods in "Top Down Design in Creo Parametric." There is a kind of Skeleton called a Motion Skeleton which essentially consists of an assembly with a sketch, a ground component, and body components. I don't prefer Motion Skeletons because they are limited to 2D motion and they are hard as heck to use and get right. My preferred method is to create multiple standard Skeletons in the assembly. Initially you locate them with the Default constraint, but after they are created, you open them and add the necessary geometry - datum axes, datum points, surfaces, and so on - that are necessary to define mechanism connections. Then you go back to the assembly and Edit Definition of the component to change its placement from Default to the appropriate mechanism connection - Pin, Cylinder, Slider, Gear Pair, Cam, and so on. Let me know if that makes sense.
Thank you this clarified the issue. It will be great if you could make a video about the second method that you mentioned because it seems very very interesting. And from what I have learnt from you so far I am excited to buy your books and learn more about how to use Creo effeciently.

Hi, David, I want to learn surface modelling in Creo, includes style style,free style, skeleton, copy geometry,shrink wrap, copy geometry.please guide me in this regard
Please watch my Top Down Design overview video. This video is a companion to the other videos in the series and my book. Defining the Product Structure up front is about planning and collaboration.
@@rameshdharman9197 To keep things neat and organized. Sometimes you have so much geometry in a complex product it can get overwhelming. Breaking stuff up into multiple skeletons makes them easier to work with. (I hope you'll notice a recurring theme of "ease and simplicity.")

Institutes doesn't teach this. But, it is very important concepts for top down approach. Thanks sir.
Most welcome
Yes they do, at least mine did teach us.
Thank you for the playlist. Very much necessary for a person to appreciate AAX and the importance of Geometry.
U can show me how to do space shuttle

1. Watch my videos. 2. Get a seat of Precision LMS (PTC's online training).
Can you describe WHY you did this? What functionality does this give you down the road?
None of that seems evident in the video.

This is a very usey video. May i know why you have used merge inheritance feature instead of copy geometry.
If you want all the geometry from another model, Merge / Inheritance is quicker and easier than Copy Geometry.
@@CADPLMGuy thanks for your reply. I have one more doubt. What's the reason for creating one more skeleton under structure ?

what is the best design approach mode for a concrete block machine in Creo 7.0
I don't know what a concrete block machine is.
@@CADPLMGuy It's a machine used to make building blocks or bricks
I don't know anything about them.
