DCADCAMCAE feature based, associative solid modeling software. It is one of a suite of 1. D orthographic views, finite element analysis, direct and parametric modelling, sub divisional and NURBSsurfacing, and NC and tooling functionality for mechanical designers. New products and design tools, faster modeling, and enhanced collaboration simplify your product development and make you more productive. SOLIDWORKS 2017 for Designers book is written to help the readers effectively use the modeling and assembly tools by utilizing the parametric and featurebased. Creo ElementsParametric compete directly with Solidworks, CATIA, and NXSolid Edge. It was created by Parametric Technology Corporation PTC and was the first of its kind to market. The application runs on Microsoft Windows. The UNIX version was discontinued after 4. UNIX on Solaris. 3 The name changed to Creo 1. ProENGINEER Wildfire 5. PTC Creo ElementsPro,4 took place on October 2. PTCs announcement of Creo, a new design software application suite. Creo ElementsPro will be discontinued after version 2 in favor of the Creo design suite. OvervieweditCreo ElementsPro formerly ProENGINEER, PTCs parametric, integrated 3. D CADCAMCAE solution, is used by discrete manufacturers for mechanical engineering, design and manufacturing. ProENGINEER was the industrys first rule based constraint sometimes called parametric or variational 3. D CAD modeling system. The parametric modeling approach uses parameters, dimensions, features, and relationships to capture intended product behavior and create a recipe which enables design automation and the optimization of design and product development processes. This design approach is used by companies whose product strategy is family based or platform driven, where a prescriptive design strategy is fundamental to the success of the design process by embedding engineering constraints and relationships to quickly optimize the design, or where the resulting geometry may be complex or based upon equations. Creo ElementsPro provides a complete set of design, analysis and manufacturing capabilities on one, integral, scalable platform. These required capabilities include Solid Modeling, Surfacing, Rendering, Data Interoperability, Routed Systems Design, Simulation, Tolerance Analysis, and NC and Tooling Design. Creo ElementsPro can be used to create a complete 3. D digital model of manufactured goods. The models consist of 2. D and 3. D solid model data which can also be used downstream in finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, tooling design, and CNC manufacturing. All data are associative and interchangeable between the CAD, CAE and CAM modules without conversion. A product and its entire bill of materials BOM can be modeled accurately with fully associative engineering drawings, and revision control information. The associativity functionality in Creo ElementsPro enables users to make changes in the design at any time during the product development process and automatically update downstream deliverables. This capability enables concurrent engineering design, analysis and manufacturing engineers working in parallel and streamlines product development processes. Summary of capabilitieseditCreo ElementsPro is a software application within the CAIDCADCAMCAE category. Creo ElementsPro is a parametric, feature based modeling architecture incorporated into a single database philosophy with rule based design capabilities. It provides in depth control of complex geometry, as exemplified by the trajpar parameter. The capabilities of the product can be split into the three main headings of Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing. This data is then documented in a standard 2. D production drawing or the 3. D drawing standard ASME Y1. Product DesigneditCreo ElementsPro offers a range of tools to enable the generation of a complete digital representation of the product being designed. In addition to the general geometry tools there is also the ability to generate geometry of other integrated design disciplines such as industrial and standard pipe work and complete wiring definitions. Newtek Tricaster Virtual Set Editor. Tools are also available to support collaborative development. A number of concept design tools that provide up front Industrial Design concepts can then be used in the downstream process of engineering the product. These range from conceptual Industrial design sketches, reverse engineering with point cloud data and comprehensive free form surface. AnalysiseditCreo ElementsPro has numerous analysis tools available and covers thermal, static, dynamic and fatigue finite element analysis along with other tools all designed to help with the development of the product. These tools include human factors, manufacturing tolerance, mould flow and design optimization. The design optimization can be used at a geometry level to obtain the optimum design dimensions and in conjunction with the finite element analysis. Surface ModelingeditCreo has a good surface modeling capabilities also. Using commands like Boundary blend and Sweep we can create surface models. Advance options like Style Interactive Surface Design Extension ISDX and Freestyle 6 provide more capabilities to designer to create complicated models with ease. Manufacturing. By using the fundamental abilities of the software with regards to the single data source principle, it provides a rich set of tools in the manufacturing environment in the form of tooling design and simulated CNC machining and output. Tooling options cover specialty tools for molding, die casting and progressive tooling design. Release HistoryeditVersion. Year. Release 7. 19. Release 8. Release 9. Release 1. 0Release 1.
