PTC Creo

PTC Creo has a very stable and fast interface. It is well suited for handling large assemblies. For example, I used it for updating utility truck bucket assemblies. It was simpler and faster to update parts. With such assemblies small parts like fasteners can get tricky to update, but Creo was great. However, Creo can get tricky when designing parts. It takes more steps to create a geometry than necessary. This reduces the speed to design and user sometimes need to keep track of steps order to design.

I was designing a new bike for a client from scratch. It helped to create a fluid body design with the help of its tools, but sometimes I have repeated tasks to design products which I think they should have a feature where you can copy certain drawing step in a different area of the model.

This software is capable enough to fulfill all requirement of 2d drawing and 3d cad data using extraordinary features.Its less cost make this software as best choice in market.

For multinational corporations with [a] large range of products [PTC Creo] is best in industry software available. For industries in [the] automotive sector like OEM's or TIER 1 industries it is best suited. For small-scale industries with [a] small range of products, it is not recommended as it is very expensive. Technically it has no issues.

PTC Creo is great for assemblies that multiple users are collaborating on. Models can reference other models that someone in another department has released and when those models are changed, the referenced parts and assemblies are changed. These changes are very helpful when working on collaborative machine designs and comparing forging dies with the final parts.

PTC Creo is well suited for ideation of competing design concepts, especially with use of fast FEA simulation, sensitivity studies of design variables, optimization, and the integration of disparate analysis types--stress, thermal, dynamic, mechanisms, and CFD, for example.

I know that it was great for us with our 3D printers and modeling. We made classroom prototypes with students but also used it to make classroom materials, solve problems in our organization, create images/models, etc. I also know many engineers who use this software. Overall we were able to tailor it to our 4th-6th grade students but would be great if there were some modifications that we could make for students.

I liked the training manuals I used to learn some, as I didn’t have CAD background in college or before this job. My coworkers were able to share with me what they learned in PTC training and I was able to get support online and through reading.

PTC Creo is flexible software for part modeling, which helps in solving real-time problems we encounter. Design models can be created more effectively for complex shapes with freestyle capabilities. Sometimes though, while working on large installation files, finding out the small missing parts is difficult and takes a lot of time.

It is best suited for automobile and valve products, working on large assemblies is very easy to control in PTC Creo. It is not really suitable for surface modeling and surface creation.

PTC Creo is well suited for complex assemblies with a large number of files. If you're not familiar with Creo, then you'll likely find it to be a steep learning curve compared to some of the alternatives. Normal functions and the navigation are a bit harder to use when compared to SOLIDWORKS and Inventor. Creo also really shines when it comes to simulations. The advanced simulation and analytics tools that are integrated within, make the process seamless. Whereas, in other scenarios, you have to use a third part simulation tool and are constantly required to re-export your files. Creo also makes it easy to share files with others using another program, as the file structure can easily be translated into varying file types.

If you have very complex designs and you want to make sure that the CAD package isn't allowing you to create impossible geometries, Creo is appropriate. For simple everyday designs, other CAD packages are more user-friendly.
