It’s no secret that the release of Creo Parametric 2.0 came with a whole range of new features and functions. And, with these came significant improvements to design productivity and performance. But, you don’t just need to take our word for it. Take a look at these 4 videos to see how Creo Parametric compares in a direct comparison to Pro/E Wildfire 5.0.
Mathcad Prime 2.0 is built around the concept of doing more with less. It develops the success of Mathcad Prime 1.0, offering an increasing number of options for users. Mathcad Prime 2.0 provides users with a richer set of capabilities, to enhance that existing Mathcad feature set and solve larger problems. And, we know that it offers the best combination so far of power and ease of use. So, what are the features of Mathcad Prime 2.0 that you need to know about?
Creo Parametric has improved the workflow used to improve sketching. Now, you are able to start sketching after only two clicks. For example, to being to sketch an extrude feature just start the extrude tool (located in the ribbon user interface) and then select the sketch plane. That’s it. Two clicks and you are ready to start sketching. You can also do the reverse. This time, we will select the sketch plane and then the extrude tool. Start by selecting the front datum plane as the sketch plane and then start the extrude tool. Regardless of your approach, after just two clicks you are ready to begin sketching.
Having the ability and the freedom to share that data, pass that information, from design, manufacturing, quality with ease can only help to improve product development and product potential. Many manufacturers are often restricted in the with their CAD tools. They don’t support a flexible, agile process, to make sure that this is all seamless.
Any product development process will involve numerous drawings and models. These come from different stages of the product development. But they all need to be stored and managed in a way that makes it easy for anyone to find the version they are after. Having an effective product data management (PDM) tool means companies can have a full understanding of all the drawings and models relating to an individual product both during and after development.
As you know all too well, many design changes occur late in the process or even many months after the original design was created. Late stage design changes can be a real problem for companies. You want to be able to respond quickly to the challenge, without having to sacrifice your design intent. But, this isn’t always easy to do.
In this definitive Creo Parametric 2.0 guide, I'll take you through the key new features and functions in Creo. Some of my favourite enhancements within Creo Parametric are around the user experience that we have changed in the product. One of the first things you notice when you fire up Creo Parametric is the new user interface. We've implemented the Microsoft fluent-based UI. This allows you to access the commands more easily. We've grouped certain commands for you. We've added a command finder for you, so that you can easily locate the commands in the ribbon. All this makes it much easier to work with your model, define the geometry you want to do, and it streamlines the design process for you.
Industry research shows that the root cause of 56% of all errors identified in products and engineering projects are introduced in the requirements phase. So, it’s better to get it right the first time. Mechanical, electrical, and software design is driven by accurate product requirements. However, poor communication of requirements to and across all engineering disciplines are documented to be costly and time consuming:
Creo Parametric is a powerful tool, ideal for anyone who uses 3D CAD modelling for design and product development. But, as well as impressive capability, there are also some great Creo Parametric features that mean it is now easier and more straightforward for you to get on with the job of designing and developing products. Take a look below to find out 5 of the great Creo Parametric features.
