Program details:
-
PTC Creo
Creo: Our powerful 3D design and engineering platform comes with a complete range of capabilities like augmented reality, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, generative design, additive manufacturing, and Ansys-powered simulation tools ranging from real-time to high fidelity simulation and analysis—all in one platform.
Real-time design guidance and optimization: Incorporate simulation early in your design process and utilize Ansys-powered, real-time structural, modal, thermal, and fluid flow analyses to modify and iterate on your designs.
Optimize your designs: Our AI-driven generative design software autonomously creates optimal designs from requirements you define, including preferred materials and manufacturing processes.
Smart connected design: Design smart connected products and understand how your products are being used and performing against spec.
Augmented reality design share: Use augmented reality to create more meaningful interactions between your designs and people. Instead of sharing designs through a flat, 2D-monitor or piece of paper, bring them into the real world where stakeholders can experience them in 3D—at scale, in context, anywhere in the world, instantly.
Additive manufacturing: Only Creo gives you the power and flexibility you need to design, optimize, innovate, validate, and run a print check—all in one environment. Add lattices to optimize and strengthen your designs with little weight.
