Check concepts for feasibilty early in the process: Early analysis and validation of design alternatives to support concept design

PTC Creo Simulate

10

• Scalable • Choose your combination of solutions

• Interoperable • Users can share the same model, while using the right tool for their role

• Leverage existing models to create new concepts

• Concepts can be analyzed early in the process, preventing re-modeling later on

• Time to Value • No time wasted recreating concepts

• Explore more concepts in the same time, improve product quality

• Reduce Time to Market

• Less opportunity for errors in model creation

Why Concept Design with Creo?

11

Creo Layout

12

Sketching Tools – Familiar tools for geometry creation

– Toggle construction mode on and off

Sketching Guides – Snap geometry to important locations

• Horizontal, vertical, parallel, perpendicular, equal size, etc.

– Not a permanent constraint, just a placement guide

– Touch buffer

• Determines which entities to reference w/ guides

• Add / remove references in

– Idle mode

– Active geometry tool

– Geometry dragging

• Can be configured

– Number of references in guide queue

– How long it takes to “touch” a reference

2D Authoring Environment

Unconstrained Easy Drafting

13

Import data from standard 2D formats – DXF, IGES, DWG, DRW, MI, etc.

– Select which entities to import

Import cross sections from the Creo Parametric App – Part or assembly

– Create structure in Layout from the assembly components

– Preview the cross section on the solid model during import

Import raster images using the trace sketch – TIFF, JPEG, etc.


Reuse Data From 2D and 3D Models

14

Public and Private data – By default data is private (configurable)

– Private data is only visible within the concept design

– Designate data as Public when it should be available to 3D

User Defined Tags – Assign a Tag to any group of entities

Structure Nodes – Create, modify, and reorder product structure

– Automatically create structure groups from imported data or file

– Entities have unique membership in no more than one group


Data Organization

15

Use standard or custom drawing formats – Create new designs with a format

– Swap formats as needed

– Set the concept scale

– Set the concept text size

Dimension your designs – Use dimensions as references or

– Drive geometry with them

• Graphic indication of growth direction

• Lock growth direction or entire dimension

– Type / placement options in RMB menu


2D Detailing

16

Favorite Views Filmstrip – Easily save a zoom level and location to each frame

– The frame contains a thumbnail of the saved view

– Recall these saved views at any time

– Give the views names and comments

– Drag to reorder the saved views

– Collapse the filmstrip to maximize screen area


Navigation / Misc.

17

Direct Assembly of Creo Layout – Creo Layout files can be added to assemblies

– Layout file is a node in the model tree

– Acts as a special type of skeleton model

– Geometry tagged as Public will appear in 3D

• Curves, planes, axes, points, coordinate systems

– Use Layout as assembly reference for components

Basic 3D Integration

2D Layouts in Assemblies

18

Copy Geometry or External Copy Geometry – Select references from Layout file

– Associativity maintained to original Layout file

Create Part Features Referencing Layout Geometry – Build feature intent on top of 2D geometry

– Changes made in 2D Layout are reflected in 3D

Basic 3D Integration

Reference 2D geometry to create part features

19

Create 3 concepts for a “Cutting Tool”

Select one of them to add – Dimensions

– Structure

– Make public

Create a part based on the layout

Add the layout to an assembly

Creo Direct

21

Direct modeling is een manier van 3D modelleren, waarbij de geometrie gecreeerd wordt op het oog i.p.v. op basis van dimensies – PTC Creo Direct modellen hebben altijd een plaats in de ruimte o.b.v. coordinaten

en dimensies en is dus volledig bepaald

– Geometrie creeeren op het oog kan echter ook omdat er geen nadruk gelegd wordt op het bematen van het model

Direct modeling kan geen gebruik maken van bestaande geometrie van het eigen model of andere modellen – Geometrie kan gebruikt worden, echter zal er geen afhankelijkheid gevormd

worden

Doordat Direct modeling geen referenties of vaste dimensie schema’s gebruikt kan direct de wijziging doorgevoerd worden die je voor ogen hebt – Juist, er hoeven geen relaties aangepast te worden. Ideaal dus voor concept

design, waarbij wijzigingen in het model niet voorzien kunnen worden.
