OpenReleased Model

Overview​

This video covers the OpenReleased Model command in Nitro-CELL, which opens a model from a released or controlled directory location. Unlike the standard Open command, OpenReleased is designed for workflows where models are stored in a managed release area separate from the active working directory. This command ensures that the correct released version of a model is loaded into Creo Parametric, which is critical for production and quality-controlled environments. The video demonstrates how to configure the released directory path, specify the model name, and execute the command from the Excel worksheet. It also explains how this command fits into workflows that involve reading released data and writing changes to a separate working area.

Key Steps​

  1. Configure the released directory path in your Nitro-CELL workbook settings
  2. Enter the OpenReleased command with the target model name in the execution worksheet
  3. Execute the command to open the released version of the model in Creo
  4. Verify the correct version was loaded by checking model properties
  5. Use the opened model for downstream operations like parameter reads or exports

Tips​

  • Use OpenReleased when you need to guarantee you are working with the production version of a model
  • Combine with SaveAs commands to copy released models into a working directory for modifications
  • Ensure the released directory path is accessible from the machine running Creo
