  • Top Enhancements in PTC Creo® Parametric™ 3.0
    Data Sheet Extension Top Enhancements in PTC Creo® Parametric™ 3.0 The Essential 3D Parametric CAD Solution PTC Creo Parametric, PTC’s 3D parametric modeling system, provides the broadest range of powerful yet flexible 3D CAD capa- bilities to help you address your most pressing design challenges. It uses proven technologies from Pro/ENGINEER®, plus hundreds of new capabilities to unlock design productivity. Here are some of the top enhancements in PTC Creo Parametric 3.0. Unparalleled multi-CAD data handling capabilities As well as being able to import neutral file formats (e.g., STEP, IGES, DXF, etc.) directly into PTC Creo Parametric, users can now both import and open CATIA®, SolidWorks®, and Siemens® NX TM files without the need for a separate translator or access to the native authoring software. With the addition of collaboration extensions, users can also collaborate with non-native PTC Creo software and receive automatic updates of geometry TM changes from CATIA®, SolidWorks TM , and Siemens NX inside PTC Creo Parametric. Drive Freestyle geometry parametrically With the introduction of a new Align capability inside Freestyle, PTC Creo Parametric users can now create and drive their freeform, stylized designs parametrically. Users have the ability to connect their Freestyle geometry to other external geometry with positional, tangent, or normal conditions. Any changes made to this external geometry will automatically update the Freestyle geometry during regeneration, maintaining the appropriate connection. This allows users to more effectively combine freeform, organic geometry with dimension based design intent.

  • Simulation Comparison Between PTC/Creo and Professional CAE
    2017 International Conference on Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (ICMME 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-440-0 Simulation Comparison Between PTC/Creo and Professional CAE Software Li-xin WANG*, Jun-hui LIU and Lin-kai CHEN School of Mechanical Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Henan Zhengzhou 450001, China *Corresponding author Keywords: PTC/Creo, Mechanism analysis, Structure analysis, Adams, Ansys. Abstract. CAE is an indispensable tool for mechanical design engineers, and is widely used in product development process. This paper discuss the differences and linkages of the two most commonly used mechanism simulation and strength calculation in the design process. For the same model respectively, simulations using PTC/Creo Vs. Ansys and PTC/Creo Vs. MSC Adams are conducted. The results show that PTC/Creo software is simple to use, easy to modify and accurate enough upon the simulation. However, it is a bit rougher and shallower than the professional CAE software .So, for mechanical design engineers, PTC/Creo simulation tools should be preferred, and the profound analysis should be the duty of professional CAE engineers. Introduction With the development and popularization of CAD technology, three-dimensional software design is more and more commonly used in modern mechanical design. At present, the general understanding is that CAD software is responsible for three-dimensional modeling of parts, components and machine assembly, and static interference analysis. Although CAD software also provides integrated CAE tools (mechanism simulation, structural analysis, thermal analysis, etc.). However, most people are accustomed to the simplified model, and export the model to the professional finite element analysis software (Ansys, Nastran, Abaqus) and virtual prototyping software (MSC.Adams, LMS Virtual.Lab, etc.) for analysis.
