Creo Highlights

What's New PTC is proud to introduce Creo 11, the latest versions of their award-winning, powerful, yet easy-to-use CAD system. Creo helps you deliver your best designs in less time, with new composite tools and enhancements for electrification and ergonomics design, MBD, simulation-driven design, and manufacturing.  Creo+, available via SaaS, provides innovative cloud-based tools for real-time collaboration and streamlined license management and deployment. Creo 11 is better than ever, with exciting improvements to the tools you use every day.

Exceptional usability and productivity With every release, Creo introduces improvements to make design engineers more productive every day. Creo now supports multibody concepts for designs containing multiple sheet metal and regular bodies, allowing you to better design sheet metal parts in context. In addition, you can now transfer solid bodies from parts of an assembly into a single multibody part using the Shrink-wrap feature, making it easier and faster to work with your complex designs. Creo now features an enhanced enclosure volume feature, to optimize and calculate the minimum bounding box of your part or assembly for packaging optimization.

New features and functionality

• Electrification: Creo has improved cabling and ECAD-MCAD collaboration capabilities to power your circuitry and cabling designs.
  Cabling tools for manipulation of locations have been improved. Locations can now be placed tangent to any Coordinate System axis and the “Remove Locations” tool has been completely overhauled for easier use. Placement of custom components and splices has been enhanced, and harness settings can now be changed during routing. Additionally, the cabling tree has been updated for greater visibility of harness structure and cabling entities.
  ECAD capabilities have also been extended with the addition of Transparency Control, for improved visibility of PCB stack-up and overlapping ECAD layers.
• Composites: Design engineers are finding applications of composite materials in more products than ever, and Creo 11 continues to expand composites design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities. Creo has expanded functionality for transitions, laminate sections, and draping simulations. You can even use zone-based design to define and automatically build plies from zones. Manufacturing has been enhanced with extended ply boundaries, core sampling and the ability to export to leading laser projection systems.
• Model-based definition: Creo now gives you even more powerful model-based definition tools to provide greater clarity with less effort. Now you can easily organize your design data in simple tables that can be read by humans and machines, with both user-defined text, parameter callouts, and semantic references.
  Creating MBD annotations for cylindrical features is quicker, and semantic query is now available for inheritance models. GD&T Advisor has been updated to support ISO 22081 standard for general tolerances, for combined simplified hole callouts and enriched definition for slab and slot features.
• Simulation: Creo includes new simulation-driven design capabilities, for better design ideation, guidance, and validation. Creo’s award-winning generative design has been improved with minimum feature size constraints, bearing load support and planar symmetry constraints.
  Creo Simulation Live now includes conjugate heat transfer to enable heat transfer between solid geometry and fluid bodies, as well as expanded results for all types of CSL studies. And Creo Ansys Simulation also has transient structure analysis, which is used to determine the dynamic response of a structure with a time-dependent load.
  
  

Creo Features

Creo Enables the latest in Design

Generative Design Creo introduces breakthrough capabilitie s in the area of AI-driven generative design. Creo Generative Design creates optimized product designs with the power of the cloud. Simultaneously explore numerous innovative design options, with top options automatically highlighted. Generative Design automatically delivers high-quality, lower-cost, manufacturable designs, all within the Creo design environment. Deliver your best designs in less time with Creo Generative Design.	Ansys Powered Simulation Creo Ansys Simulation: a high-fidelity, high accuracy simulation tool with Ansys solvers embedded into Creo. Creo Ansys Simulation is designed specifically engineers to analyze the performance is 3D prototypes before committing to real-world production. Creo Ansys Simulation comes fully featured and leverages Ansys' capabilities for thermal, structural and modal analyses, allowing engineers to make informed decisions as they refine their design.	Additive Manufacturing Creo closes the gap between 3D CAD and Additive Manufacturing. With Creo you can design, optimize, validate and run a print-check all-in-one environment, reducing the overall process time, tedium and mistakes. You can leverage lattices in your design to reduce weight, and you can print in polymers and in metal. When you're ready, define the print tray and send the file straight to your desired 3D printer. No need to switch between software packages, as these capabilities are all deeply integrated into Creo.
