See how your product design will perform in the real world with these simulation tools
Simulation in Creo allows you to virtually test and validate product designs before physical prototyping. This saves costs, accelerates time to market by resolving issues early, and empowers better design decisions for optimized product performance and reliability.
CAD simulation involves using computer-aided design software to digitally replicate real-world conditions and behaviors of products. It allows engineers to test and analyze designs virtually before physical prototyping. By simulating factors like stress, heat, fluid flow, and motion, CAD simulation helps identify potential issues, optimize designs for performance and efficiency, and reduce the need for costly physical testing. This iterative process accelerates product development cycles, enhances product quality, and ultimately lowers development costs.
Evaluates structural integrity by simulating how designs respond to physical forces like stress, vibration, and heat.
Simulates motion and interactions between components to ensure proper functionality and clearance analysis.
Analyzes fluid flow patterns and thermal effects within designs, crucial for optimizing aerodynamics and heat management.
Designed parts, assemblies, and mechanisms need to be analyzed so that real-world effects and their behavior during intended use can be predicted. In order to do this, PTC offers several capabilities, some of which are listed below:
Creo Fatigue Advisor Extension: Analyze how your product performs under repeated loading and unloading.
Creo Human Factors Analysis Extension: Insert digital human models into your designs to investigate ergonomic and human factors issues.
Mathcad: Using PTC Mathcad’s rich array of mathematical functionality, you can document your most critical engineering calculations as easily as you can write them.
Creo Flow Analysis: This is a computational fluid dynamics tool used to easily simulate fluid flow. This helps predict the performance of a system or product involving internal or external fluid flow and heat transfer.
Creo Clearance and Creepage Extension: Increase the safety and reliability of your 3D electromechanical designs.
Creo Mechanism Dynamics Option: Analyze how your product will behave given real-world forces such as gravity and friction.
Creo Simulation Extension: Evaluate structural, thermal and modal product performance on your digital model before resorting to costly, time-consuming physical prototyping.
Creo Mold Analysis Extension: Simulate the injection molding of plastic parts.
Creo EZ Tolerance Analysis Extension: Visualize geometric tolerances (GTOL) to be sure all components of your product fit together.
