How do I maintain my Creo session connection to the Windchill server when the server is time to break the connection when it sees no workspace activity? Not all modeling activity requires server interaction.

We have a timeout set within the Windchill environment. We we are creating models, with the Creo session connected to Windchill, the creation time regularly exceeds this timeout setting. We are often disconnected from Windchill while in the middle of a sketch or other Creo activity that doesn't involve server interaction. This causes us to lose design work or even end up with a corrupted workspace. We are trying to find something that could run in the background of our session that mimics server activity and thus keeps our Creo session with Windchill alive.
