tbl_model : SET_RELATIONS
Overview
This video demonstrates the tbl_model SET_RELATIONS command in Nitro-CELL, which sets relations on Creo models using data from an Excel table. Relations are equations in Creo that drive dimensions, parameters, and feature behavior. For each model row in the table, the command applies the specified relations text to the model, enabling engineers to standardize or update design logic across multiple models from a spreadsheet. This is powerful for enforcing consistent design rules or deploying updated equations to a batch of models. The video covers structuring the relations data, executing the command, and verifying the relations were applied.
Key Steps
- Create an Excel table with model names and relations text to apply
- Ensure all target models are accessible in the Creo session
- Enter the tbl_model SET_RELATIONS command referencing the table
- Execute the command to apply relations to all listed models
- Verify the relations were set correctly and regenerate the models
Tips
- Relations syntax must follow Creo's relation format exactly
- Use GET_RELATIONS first to capture existing relations as a reference
- Regenerate models after setting relations to apply the new logic
