Ergonomic Design and Vision: Expanded ergonomic tools help designers recognize the uniqueness of users while helping ensure products comply with safety, health, and workplace standards.
Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Detailing Improvements: Continued investment in model-based product design, especially in surface finishing and welds, means that users can include specialized downstream manufacturing information right on the model. PTC’s generative design technology also adds capabilities to define optimization studies with designed-in safety factors and natural frequency limits.
More Powerful Simulation and Generative Design Capabilities: Advanced multiphysics from Ansys have been integrated into the Creo simulation portfolio. Usability and Productivity: Investments across the core modeling environment focus on usability and productivity, including updates to the model tree to make it faster to structure, document and understand design intent, and a new function for dividing surfaces to improve analysis and product definition. PTC launched the ninth version of its Creo computer-aided design (CAD) software. Creo 9 helps engineers deliver product designs in less time and encourages innovation with emerging technologies such as generative design, real-time simulation, and additive manufacturing, the company reports.
