Nitro-CELL Execution Worksheets

Overview​

This video explains how Nitro-CELL Execution Worksheets function as the primary mechanism for running Creo automation commands. An Execution Worksheet is a specially structured Excel sheet where each row represents a single Creo operation to be performed in sequence. The video demonstrates how to set up an execution worksheet, define the command flow, and trigger the run. Nitro-CELL processes each row from top to bottom, sending instructions to Creo Parametric and capturing return values or status codes back into the worksheet. This approach gives engineers full visibility into what operations were performed and whether each step succeeded. The video also covers how execution worksheets interact with data worksheets and how to structure multi-step workflows.

Key Steps​

  1. Create a new worksheet or use an existing execution worksheet template
  2. Define your Creo commands row by row in the correct column format
  3. Ensure the worksheet is properly linked to the Nitro-CELL execution engine
  4. Run the execution worksheet to process all commands sequentially
  5. Check the status and return value columns for results after execution

Tips​

  • Name your execution worksheets clearly to distinguish them from data worksheets
  • Use sequential row ordering to control the exact order of Creo operations
  • Review the execution log after each run to identify and troubleshoot any failed commands
