Creo 9: A Powerful CAD Software for Modern Design Challenges
Creo 9 is the latest version of PTC's flagship CAD software, which offers customer-driven enhancements, tools that speed innovation, enhance collaboration, and replace assumptions with facts. In this article, we will explore some of the key features and benefits of Creo 9 that make it a compelling choice for product design and development.
Usability and Productivity
Creo 9 improves the user experience and efficiency of everyday tasks with several updates to the model tree, sketcher, multibody, Freestyle and ECAD. Some of the highlights include:
- A new toolbar in the model tree that provides faster access and clearer design intent.
- A new divide and unify surface capability that can be used for MBD, simulation, geometry creation and appearance assignment.
- A new brush tool in Freestyle that enables sculpting-like capabilities to easily manipulate control meshes.
- A new mirror function in Freestyle based on the selected datum plane.
Design for Ergonomics
Creo 9 helps you optimize your designs for human interaction, safety, comfort and usability with new features for Manikin and Vision. You can now:
- Customize Manikin dimensions to account for different body shapes and sizes.
- Enhance Manikin manipulation with a user-friendly interface and gap analysis.
- Evaluate sightlines with Vision to ensure quality and safety of cameras, displays and Manikins.
Model-Based Definition and Detailing Improvements
Creo 9 gives you powerful MBD tools to provide greater clarity with less effort. You can now:
- Create MBD symbols that are compliant with the latest ASME/ISO standards.
- Use new weld symbols and drawing hatch patterns to simplify detailing.
- Leverage EZ Tolerance Analysis to perform center bias option and simple fit analysis.
Simulation and Additive Manufacturing
Creo 9 also introduces breakthrough capabilities in the area of simulation and additive manufacturing, powered by Ansys and generative design technologies. You can now:
- Create optimal designs based on your objectives and constraints with generative design.
- Perform multi-physics simulations with thermal and structural analysis together.
- Support lattice features for fluids and assign different loads or properties to specific regions with divide surfaces.
These are just some of the many features and benefits of Creo 9 that make it a powerful CAD software for modern design challenges. To learn more about Creo 9, visit PTC's blog or PTC's help center.
