Creo Simulation Live Extension Overview

The Creo Simulation Live Extension brings instantaneous structural, thermal, and modal analysis into the hands of every engineer directly in the Creo environment. Powered by Ansys technology, it’s ideal for engineers who want real-time feedback while designing – without needing specialized CAE tools, exported data, or long wait times.

The highlights:

  • Real-time 3D model analysis with dynamic updates as you edit features
  • Instant analysis without setting up meshes or leaving the CAD environment
  • Interactive visualization of stress, deformation, temperature, and mode shapes in the model window
  • Seamless integration – no data export/import, mesh prep, or external tools needed

By embedding simulation early in the design process, the Creo Simulation Live Extension helps users catch performance issues 65% faster, reduce prototype creation by 46%, and make more informed design decisions. Accelerate your time-to-market, reduce costs, and deliver your best designs in less time with Creo!

All licenses must be operated within the same country they were purchased. If you need to procure a global license for your organization, please contact us to purchase.

The Creo Simulation Live Extension includes:

  • Ansys-powered analysis
