PTC Creo simulate exam 1 check your
knowledge module 1-9 Questions and
Answers
_______________ enables the user to perform Static, Modal,
Buckling, Contact, Prestress Static, and Prestress Modal analyses.
Ans: Creo Simulate Structure
Using the Home tab, you can create Ans: all of the above.
Which statement regarding the Simulate Structure process is
FALSE? Ans: An analysis will always fail if the loads and
constraints are applied before the properties are defined.
True or False? Simulate can only analyze parts, not assemblies.
Ans: False
Which model type is NOT an option in Simulate? Ans: Plane
symmetry
_______________ enables the user to perform Static, Modal,
Buckling, Contact, Prestress Static, Prestress Modal, and Vibration
analyses. Ans: Simulate Structure
True or False? The h- and p-versions of the finite element method
are different ways of adding degrees of freedom to the model.

True or False? The Distortion Energy theory is more conservative
than the Maximum Shear Stress theory. Ans: False
Traditional finite element solvers calculate displacements at Ans:
the nodes.
True or False? The strain energy of the total model and
comparative stresses may be used as convergence criteria in
Simulate. Ans: True
Which statement best describes the analysis method used by Creo
Simulate Structure? Ans: It uses the P element version of the
Finite Element Method and enhances its own accuracy by
automatically adjusting the degrees of the polynomial shape
functions until convergence is achieved.
True or False? The Inheritance Feature is the feature to use if you
want to keep the simulation model independent from the CAD
geometry. Ans: True
True or False? The Remove Feature can be combined with the
Inheritance Feature. Ans: True
To prepare an existing CAD model Ans: all of the above.
Where can you find the results of a user-defined measure after an
analysis has been run? Ans: Both A and B.
Measures can be used Ans: for all of the above.
Which fields need to be defined in the Material Definitions dialog
box for a static analysis with no thermal loads? Ans: The name,
density, Poisson's ratio, and Young's modulus are required.
Which type of materials can be handled by Simulate Structure?
Ans: Isotropic, transversely isotropic, and orthotropic materials
