The solutions Creo Parametric integrated by CAD/CAM/CAE allow to project quicker, than ever, as much as possible promoting emergence of the new ideas and quality improvement that finally leads to creation of outstanding products.
Creo Parametric (before Pro/ENGINEER) is an instrument for ensuring of quality and exact digital models. Creo Parametric is the main tool in the system of product development of PTC which allows to define in details a form, functions and suitability of products. Connection to the Internet allows groups to have access to necessary resources, information and opportunities — from conceptual development before production of products. The reliable digital Creo Parametric models are completely associative. Made anywhere, changes of a product lead to universal updating of the end results. It provides trust to digital products, necessary for investment of the considerable capital into attraction of resources, production capacities and the organization of mass production.
The full range of solutions of CAD/CAM/CAE on the single integrated platform From design services and production companies constantly is required to develop more and more products for smaller time, without sacrificing at the same time either novelty, or quality. Integrated solutions of CAD/CAM/CAE Creo Parametric are the conventional standard and give to the user all necessary for reduction of time and quality improvement of design. The unlimited scalability of Creo Parametric allows in process of growth of requirements to increase number of users and thanks to connection of new modules to expand functionality of a system. As the product Creo Parametric is an integral part of a System of Product development (Product Development System) of PTC, the user means automated 3D - design can be successfully integrated with the solutions PTC, best in the industry. Windchill for information management and processes, Creo View (before ProductView™) for creation of difficult models and interactive visualization, Mathcad Prime for engineering calculations and Arbortext for the dynamic publication of documents treat them.

PTC Creo Parametric 2.0
In the summer of 2012 the PTC corporation submitted to users the revolutionary software product – Creo 2.0 developed based on the solution PRO/Engineer. Creo Paramentic 2.0 is equipped a large number of useful applications which simplify work and create 3-ekhmerny models from 2-dimensional drawings. Using the autonomous Creo Sketch application it is possible to create manually sketches of project intentions and to add to them different special effects. The ready sketch can be transferred to Creo Paramentic and to create from it professional 3-ekhmerny model. Thanks to other application – Creo Layot – it is possible to create in a short time 3-ekhmerny projects based on 2-dimensional means of conceptual design.
The Creo Flexible Modeling Extension add-on module gives the chance to make changes to the project at any design stage and also to edit different types of geometrical elements, including roundings off and arrays. Moreover, the possibility of making changes at late design stages and optimization of simplification of the project for the analysis at the subsequent stages appeared.
Import of data of CAD from other systems at the expense of a complete set of the existing 2-dimensional drawings with new 3-ekhmerny became available using the Creo Legancy Migration Extension add-on module. It is also possible to create three-dimensional summaries directly from the existing 2-dimensional drawings. Creo Direct – the autonomous CAD 3D application intended for work of a wide range of specialists. Easily accustoms non-core users and those who pass from 2D to 3D CAD. Allows to save the general intention of the project at transfer of 3-ekhmerny models from the Creo Direct application in Creo Paramentic and back.
Using Creo Simulate already on early blueprint stages it is possible to create 3D virtual prototypes of products, and members of the working groups at any time can carry out an inspection of structural and thermal properties of construction. As a result engineers obtain all information on a product in advance at the expense of what it is possible to receive higher quality of a product at smaller costs.
For minimization of the errors connected with creation of three-dimensional configurations of products from complex structures there is Creo Options Modeler which performs check. For maximum efficiency founders of Creo 2.0 recommend to use the intellectual Windchill functions as much as possible.
And for a detailed and evident view of technical documentation it is possible to use 3D illustrations created in the autonomous Creo Illustrate application.
The Creo View MCAD application using which it is possible to browse quickly projects of products and quickly to obtain all project information, even during the work of a large number of employees. It has high high-speed performance and scalability and also the intuitive, focused on tasks interface, supports Creo and all basic three-dimensional data of MCAD, including drawings, images and documents from a set of sources. What is the most important, for viewing data it is not necessary to start the application in which they were created.
