Productinformatie Creo Elements/Direct
Creo Elements/Direct is for innovative leaders in discrete manufacturing and other industries who are facing intense time-to-market pressure. Many of the world’s bestknown product development companies depend on the Creo Elements/Direct product family for an Direct 3D product development process in order to meet shorter design cycles, create one-off product designs quickly, and respond to unpredictable design requirement changes.
If you are looking for maximum ease and flexibility in creating one-off designs or radically repurposing designs, an “Direct modeling” approach to 3D design is the right choice. Most companies add 3D modeling to their product design process to overcome increased pressures in manufacturing, such as shortened time-to-market, customer demand for new products, and increasingly complex customer requirements. Creo Elements/Direct addresses these challenges with Direct 3D CAD, CAE, and product data management that provide the optimal level of design flexibility. The combination of Creo Elements/Direct with PTC’s other software solutions delivers an integral Product Development System (PDS) – which enables manufacturers to optimize their product development processes.
Direct Modeling – The Ultimate in Flexibility
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling™, the world’s #1 Direct 3D CAD system, is the easiest 3D CAD system to learn and use. The Creo Elements/Direct product family provides a lightweight 3D design approach that can help you advance many of your engineering processes, including:
> Concept development
> Verification and validation
> System design
> Design outsourcing
> Detailed design
Creo Elements/Direct delivers speed, flexibility, and responsiveness-to-change for customers pursuing a lightweight design strategy. As the pioneer and leading provider of Direct modeling, PTC and Creo Elements/Direct provide you with unique flexibility throughout your entire product development process. When designing in 3D with Creo Elements/Direct, your models stay lightweight and flexible through direct, “on-the-fly” geometry interactions. This allows you to quickly incorporate downstream 3D design changes and radically repurpose designs using Windows®- like characteristics – including cutting, copying, and pasting geometry – which makes the initial training and overall learning curve on Creo Elements/Direct products fast and easy.
Lightweight.
Intuitively design products using direct, on-the-fly interactions with model geometry.
Creo Elements/Direct uniquely captures less model definition information, for a genuinely lightweight and flexible product design process. You intuitively interact with model geometry in real time through direct, on-the-fly interactions. Product designs evolve freely without designers needing to anticipate downstream design changes or maintain embedded design logic such as tangency conditions. As a result, lightweight model geometry is central to the flexibility of your Creo Elements/Direct direct 3D CAD system. Consequently, your Direct modeling files are, on average, one-third the size of parametric modeling files, which makes your models easier to access, modify, archive, and share.
Flexible.
Easily address unexpected and radical product design changes.
Since you’re creating and modifying model geometry using direct, on-the-fly interactions, your initial training and ramp-up on the software are much easier. But it also means that when you’re working with the Creo Elements/Direct direct 3D CAD system, you can easily pick up a design where others left off – much like the way you can open up and immediately continue working on an existing Microsoft Word® document. Creo Elements/Direct Modeling provides flexibility in several other ways, by giving you the ability to address unexpected and radical changes to product designs, respond to changes in design team composition, and work easily with design data from any 3D or 2D CAD system as if it were native design data.
Fast.
Easy to learn and easy to use, Creo Elements/Direct lets engineers shave weeks – even months – from project schedules.
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, with its Direct approach to 3D design, is faster and easier to learn and use than other 3D CAD systems. Existing 2D designers can transfer their skills and quickly adopt 3D Direct modeling in a matter of weeks. Creo Elements/Direct offers the simplicity of 2D with the power of 3D. Creo Elements/Direct customer Carl Zeiss® Meditec explains: “We just don’t have time to spend worrying about our design tools, and with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, we don’t have to. Anybody can pick it up and run with it.” The speed of 3D design and the short learning curve of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling enable Carl Zeiss Meditec to stay ahead of its competition and cut weeks – even months – from project schedules.
