PTC enhanced the design, simulation, manufacturing and more latest versions of its desktop CAD software, as well as the cloud-based Creo+ was added.
Brian Thompson, General manager of Creo at PTC said:
Creo 11 and Creo+ will ameliorate the significant design engineers use every day
1. Multi-body concepts.
In this new version designers may have access to work simultaneously with multiple sheet metal and bodies in the same design.
2. Shrinkwrap update.
An updated Shrinkwrap features helps users can transfer solid bodies from parts of an assembly into a single multi part in a way easier and faster.
3. Enclosure volume update.
The new point in Creo 11 have permission for users to calculate the minimum bounding box of a part, assembly for packaging as well.
4. Improved cabling tools.
We are easier in manipulating cable locations and adding removing locations tool to use as well as placing custom components and splices. Moreover, harness settings can be modified during the routing process, and the cabling tree has been improved for better visibility into the harness structure and cabling entities.
5. ECAD transparency control.
The transparency of overlapping ECAD is geared to meet the controlling demand of users which enhance the vision into their PCB designs.
6. Improved composite design.
These are new funtionality for transitions, laminate sections and draping simulations. Futhermore, Designers not only use zone-based design to automatically build piles from zones but increase manufacturing capabilities including extended ply boundaries, core sampling and the exported ability to laser systems.
7. More powerful MBD tools.
Creo 11 is ameliorated in model-based definition (MBD) tools that not only help to easily manage design data but makes it quicker to create MBD annotations for cylinderical features. ISO 22081 standard for general tolerances is also updated.
8. Better generative design.
It is witnessed some significant changes with supporting for bearing load and constraints for planar symmetry, minimum feature size as well.
9. Simulation enhancements.
The Ansys-powered Creo Simulation Live in expanded results for all studies, also adding conjugate heat transfer which users enable to stimulate heat transfer between solid geometry and fluid bodies.
10. Manufacturing improvements.
On the additive side, users can now connect multiple lattices with different cell types with a single, continuous lattice structure, and adjust pore size for stochastic lattices. Creo 11 also allow users exporting 3MF and STL options. For subtractive manufacturing, features 4 axis rotary milling and improvements to both trajectory milling, the 4-axis area turing interface has also added.
11. Creo+ updates.
Today, Creo+ was updated alongside the launch of Creo 11, bringing several cloud-specific improvements. In addition to core enhancements, Creo+ now features easier collaboration tools, including support for mechanism assemblies. Usability upgrades allow users to monitor and report network connectivity and set shortcuts for launching Creo+.
