The PTC Creo Direct 3D direct modeling app in version 3.0 is said to be more powerful and easier to use, enabling the quick creation of concept designs that are fully reusable in PTC Creo Parametric. The Align Freestyle design capability in PTC Creo Parametric enables designers to create and drive freeform designs parametrically by combining organic geometry creation and modification with associative parametric design intent. Also, PTC Creo Layout to support 2D concept engineering activities now provides greater scalability and richer tools with seamless re-use in the 3D parametric environment, according to the company. Key enhancements include the Align Freestyle design functionality, an updated 3D direct modeling application and a design exploration extension. PTC says that the new and enhanced concept design tools in PTC Creo 3.0 are intended to provide product developers and teams increased flexibility and control. That is, users do not have to convert an entire assembly when only a single part needs modification. The technology provides functionality that lets users convert only the data that requires modification. Further, Unite technology allows users to import Autodesk Inventor files and files created with Solid Edge from Siemens PLM Software, also without additional software. With Unite technology, users can open and/or import files created with NX from Siemens PLM Software as well as files from Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA and SolidWorks without additional migration software. These efficiencies, adds PTC, enable improvements in on-time delivery, product quality and desirability by allowing design teams to spend more time innovating and less time on non-value add tasks such as recreating design intent and redundant file management. This technology, explains PTC, allows for consolidation of multiple CAD systems and improved efficiency when working with different CAD tools. The new Unite technology in version 3.0 enables data from major CAD systems to be directly used in the PTC Creo Parametric, Creo Direct, Creo Simulate and Creo Options Modeler apps.
