Nitro-PROGRAM, Assembly LOGIC

Overview

This video demonstrates how to use Nitro-PROGRAM to create and manage Pro/PROGRAM logic at the assembly level in PTC Creo Parametric. Assembly programs control which components are included or excluded from an assembly based on parameter values and conditional logic. The video shows how Nitro-PROGRAM handles assembly-specific program elements such as component EXECUTE statements, assembly-level IF-ENDIF conditions, and component suppression logic. It covers the differences between part-level and assembly-level Pro/PROGRAM editing, and how Nitro-PROGRAM adapts its interface to work with assembly structures and component references.

Key Steps

1. Open a Creo assembly and launch Nitro-PROGRAM to load the assembly Pro/PROGRAM
2. Review the assembly-level program structure including component references
3. Add IF-ENDIF conditions to control component inclusion or exclusion
4. Configure EXECUTE statements for assembly components
5. Write the program and regenerate to verify component suppression behavior

Tips

• Assembly programs control components rather than features — the logic scope is different from parts
• Use meaningful parameter names that describe the assembly configuration options
• Test all configuration paths to ensure components are correctly included or excluded
