Inferior design practices will often inflate product development costs, due to wasted material, excessive shipping expense, and poor product performance. Ideally, Engineering would be able to embed real-world design requirements -- even for multiple objectives -- within the digital model, so that these criteria are perpetually satisfied within the product development process.
With PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension, this optimized way of designing is a reality. PTC Creo’s powerful design optimization capabilities help you improve detailed design, reverse engineering, and verification and validation processes, by supporting Design for Six Sigma and robust design initiatives.
The efficient design and optimization of sophisticated products is a constant challenge. Incompatible CAD tools, an inability to reuse product design data downstream and with extended teams, and difficulty collaborating between engineers aggravates these challenges. To stay competitive in today’s market, organizations need new ways to address these challenges.
PTC’s CAD software and solutions enable companies to optimize their products through the creation of digital prototypes. This includes the initial product concepts and styling, 2D and 3D design, simulation and analysis, and engineering calculations. For many years, the CAD market was labeled as stagnant, lacking signs of new innovation. Yet increasing complexity of product designs and competition has caused organizations to want more from their CAD solutions.
Manufacturers are searching to find new ways to reduce development costs, identify and eliminate errors earlier in the design cycle, increase design collaboration across disciplines and with extended team members, and optimize product designs for cost and customer requirements. Over the past 25 years, PTC has worked with thousands of manufacturers around the world to help them unlock the potential of their product designs.
PTC Creo is an easy-to-use, scalable suite of product design apps for creating, simulating, analyzing and viewing product designs, and leveraging them downstream. The suite is built on a common data model with a common user interface, and embraces 2D, 3D, parametric and direct CAD modeling technologies. This enables you to select the right tool for the task at hand while allowing the product design data to move seamlessly between apps with no duplication or rework.. When combined with the capabilities of PTC Mathcad, design optimization and analysis can begin prior to 2D/3D modeling, helping to more efficiently drive the geometry creation. Additionally, when used in conjunction with PTC Windchill, all the product data can easily be managed throughout the entire product lifecycle.
PTC Mathcad is the industry standard for solving, documenting, sharing and reusing vital engineering calculations. Its easy-to-use live mathematical notation, powerful communications capabilities, and open architecture allow engineers and organizations to optimize their critical design and engineering processes. PTC Mathcad easily displays calculations, text, data, and images in a single worksheet, enabling knowledge capture, data reuse and design verification. PTC Mathcad integrates with other best-in-class PTC products like PTC Creo and PTC Windchill, to increase productivity, improve process efficiency, and allow for better collaboration between individuals and teams.
PTC Windchill securely tracks, stores and shares all versions and iterations of CAD models, created in PTC Creo or other MCAD applications, ensuring that everyone is utilizing the same information. PTC Windchill can also manage related content such as ECAD files, software source code, documentation, requirements, manufacturing information, service information, part/supplier data, calculations and illustrations to provide complete control over the entire product structure.
Many companies prefer to start concept designs in 2D to quickly explore multiple options before moving to build more complex 3D models. With Creo 4.0, PTC delivers on its vision for enabling companies to make the most of this early stage of their product development process. The new releases of Creo Parametric, Creo Direct™, the free Creo Sketch™ (now available on Mac OS X with this release), and Creo Layout™ combine to greatly enhance collaboration, innovation and design exploration during concept design. Since all Creo apps share a common data model, 2D geometry and design data can be easily shared by all users and apps and can be re-used later in the design process to accelerate the transition to the detailed design phase.
In Creo Layout 4.0, PTC is helping to solve the specific problem of transitioning from 2D to 3D, allowing users to easily create a layout of complex assemblies, quickly explore design alternatives, import a variety of 2D CAD file types, sketch and modify 2D geometry, organize information with groups, tags and structure as well as dimensions, notes and tables. Once created, a 2D design in Creo Layout can serve as the basis for 3D models, allowing users to create assemblies in 2D or reference 2D geometry to create part features, and any changes made in 2D are reflected in 3D upon regeneration.
In the new release, PTC delivers more than 490 enhancements to the Creo app family, all designed to optimize the user experience and increase design productivity.
Creo Parametric enables increased productivity and streamlining of the overall product design process with:Overall, Creo Parametric delivers state-of-the-art user experience, new capabilities, automates common tasks, improves performance with streamlined workflows and enables dramatically improved overall design productivity.
Beyond Creo Parametric, PTC delivers significant enhancements to other Creo apps. New capabilities in Creo Direct help accelerate bid-proposals and early concept design. Casual users can now quickly and easily create new compelling 3D designs. They also can easily modify models by reference to existing geometry of available parts and assemblies or quickly, but precisely place multiple parts and assemblies into position with the new intelligent snapping capabilities.
And as Creo Direct seamlessly works with Creo Parametric and other Creo apps, any 3D design can be shared by users across the enterprise design process.
In addition, this latest release greatly simplifies the installation process for Creo, only downloading and installing the Creo apps specific to a customer’s environment and license entitlement. This speeds download and significantly simplifies installation and configuration enabling teams to get up and running with Creo more quickly than ever before.
More information will be shared at PTC’s upcoming annual user event, PlanetPTC Live.
Creo Options Modeler is available for purchase today as an extension of Creo Parametric. It is expected to be available as a stand-alone app in June 2012. All other Creo 4.0 apps are available now. Active maintenance customers can download the release from the software downloads page.
Leaders of product companies and managers with product line profit-loss responsibility are increasingly pressured to reduce costs and time to market. Without continuous and accurate product information, and effective processes to develop and support those products, corporate profitability can be placed at risk.
To compete effectively and sustain their success, product companies must continuously strive for excellence both in the products they deliver and the service they provide. If the business excels in one area alone, or if it is unable to deliver successful product introductions repeatedly, any gains achieved will be short-lived.
In today’s global market, the only way to stay ahead of the competition is to provide better products, better service and a better customer experience every time. With an approach that consists of mutual value planning, a holistic recommendation for people, processes, technology, and governance to ensure the realization of value, PTC is a trusted partner for product and service advantage.
Modelcam Technologies provides a wide variety of Services from ART to PART from Concept Design to Industrial Modeling and Analysis for final Manufacturing.
