In case you are missing the protk.dat file, you can download it below. This folder is typically:įor PTC Creo Parametric 5.0: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 5.0.3.0\Common Filesįor PTC Creo Parametric 4.0: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 4.0\M080\Common Filesįor PTC Creo Parametric 3.0: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 3.0\M190\Common Filesįor PTC Creo Parametric 2.0: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M150įrom here the installer knows to place the protk.dat file into \text\protk.datĮdit the protk.dat file to update the paths to the COMSOL installation. The COMSOL installer places this file in a folder relative to the Common Folder of the PTC Creo Parametric installation, which you have specified during installation of LiveLink for PTC Creo Parametric. The file contains the path to the COMSOL installation (in two locations). PTC Creo Parametric finds this add-in based on the information in a file called protk.dat. Problems that might result in the add-in not being loaded are that PTC Creo Parametric is installed after the COMSOL installation, PTC Creo Parametric is updated or installed in a different location, or that the COMSOL installation is moved. The paths listed there to the COMSOL installation have to be correct for the add-in to be loaded. Click the Info button to get more info about the add-in. In the dialog box with the same name, LiveLink for COMSOL should be listed as running. If the add-in is loaded and running a COMSOL Multiphysics tab appears in PTC Creo Parametric.Īnother way to check if the add-in is running in PTC Creo Parametric is to select the Tools tab then to click the button Auxiliary Applications. For parameter selection to work in PTC Creo Parametric an add-in needs to be loaded by PTC Creo Parametric.
