tbl_model : GET_RELATIONS

Overview​

This video demonstrates the tbl_model GET_RELATIONS command in Nitro-CELL, which retrieves relations from Creo models listed in an Excel table. Relations are equations in Creo that drive dimensions, parameters, and feature behavior. For each model in the table, the command extracts the relations text and writes it back to the worksheet, enabling engineers to audit, compare, or document model logic across multiple models from a single spreadsheet. The video covers setting up the model list, executing the extraction, and reviewing the returned relations data.

Key Steps​

  1. Create an Excel table listing models whose relations should be retrieved
  2. Enter the tbl_model GET_RELATIONS command referencing the table
  3. Execute the command to extract relations from all listed models
  4. Review the relations text written to the worksheet for each model
  5. Use the data for auditing, comparison, or documentation purposes

Tips​

  • Relations are returned as text strings that can be compared across models
  • Useful for auditing design intent and logic consistency across a model set
  • Combine with SET_RELATIONS to update relations after review
