Demos & Tech Tips

Today, most manufacturers are leveraging a variety of 3D CAD packages in their product development activities. Some companies have adopted CAD tools to support different design processes while others are required to use multiple tools due to acquisitions or customer requirements. Using multi-CAD product design, manufacturers have the power to define a single product despite the complexity of a heterogeneous design environment. This Tech Tip will show you how to work productively within a multi-CAD environment. Learn how to directly open and import a range of file types from other CAD systems to consolidate one master assembly. You will also learn how to use PTC Creo Parametric Flexible Modeling tools to add parametric design intent to the imported data.

Many designers experience software crashes and poor performance when loading and working with large assemblies. This forces users to work with partial views of a large assembly which often leads to poor design change decisions and incomplete validation checks, like interference for example. This Tech Tip will familiarize you with tools that enable quick loading, viewing and validation of large assemblies to achieve reduced cycle times and potential errors. Quickly locate and focus on relevant details of interest without waiting for entire models to load.

Need to make aesthetic products? Do you have complex geometry well suited to surface modeling construction techniques? In this technical session, you will learn about the many uses of surfaces in PTC Creo Parametric. This session will focus on the use of PTC Creo Parametric Interactive Surface Design Extension (ISDX).

Did you know that you can simulate the NC machine kinematics during tool path play? This webcast will discuss how to create a 3-axis milling machine tool assembly using mechanism joints, and how to set up the NC environment to display the machine tool motion and check for collisions during tool path play.

Need to make aesthetic products? Do you have complex geometry well suited to surface modeling construction techniques? In this technical session, you will learn about the many uses of surfaces in PTC Creo Parametric. You will learn tips from a PTC expert for basic surfacing capabilities including why surfaces should be used, the types of surfaces available, and techniques for creating and/or modifying solid models with surfaces. We'll respond to some common inquiries we've received about this topic, and a specialist will be on hand to answer your questions.
