InSession Model

Overview

This video demonstrates the InSession Model command in Nitro-CELL, which checks whether a specific model is currently loaded in the Creo Parametric session. This is a useful validation command that can be placed before other operations to confirm a model is available before attempting to modify, save, or export it. The command returns a boolean result indicating whether the named model exists in the current session. The video shows how to use this command as a conditional check in automation workflows, preventing errors that would occur if a command targets a model that is not loaded. It also demonstrates how to combine InSession checks with Open commands for robust workflow design.

Key Steps

1. Enter the InSession Model command with the target model name
2. Execute the command to check if the model is loaded in Creo
3. Read the boolean result from the status column
4. Use the result to conditionally execute subsequent commands
5. Combine with Open commands to load models that are not yet in session

Tips

• Use InSession checks before operations that require a specific model to be active
• Combine with conditional logic in your worksheet to handle both loaded and unloaded scenarios
• This command is lightweight and does not modify the Creo session
