The Creo Plugin that I have been using with ICEM does not seem to be supported in higher versions of ICEM. How can I now import my assemblies into ICEM?

      The Creo Plugin has been changed and now operates via Design Modeler (Geometry) in the Workbench environment. All visible parts will be exported from Creo to DesignModeler. Workbench can be invoked from within Creo and will open with a Geometry cell that contains the exported Creo model. Adjusting the Geometry cell properties to filter the named selections and parameters and then updating it completes the import of the Creo model. Note that so far, there is no support for custom coordinate systems that originate from Creo. The default coordinate system will be used for all parts, rather than any custom coordinate system, so models will need to be transformed to their intended location. These and other operations can be performed by editing the imported part in Design Modeler/Geometry. Once this is done and saved, the Geometry cell can be connected to an ICEM cell on the Workbench project page. When the ICEM cell is is edited, the conversion from Design Modeler native file format (.agdb) to the ICEM geometry file format (.tetin) will take place. From there, you can either continue with ICEM inside the Workbench environment, or extract a copy of the ICEM .tetin file from the Workbench project and move it to the desired working location.
