INNEO Startup TOOLS

HIGHLIGHTS

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

INNEO Startup TOOLS reduces the TCO of a company’s product development environment and guarantees the security of your investments, while providing high transparency and standardisation in your company.

• Configuration of the PTC product development environment

• Applications for central and graphical management of the installation and the working environment including system management

• Harmonised objects, concepts and templates• Company specific customisation for industries

and departments• Integrated CAD applications containing

intuitive ring menu (Quick Access), tolerance table, library viewer, parameter manager, multiple dimension editing, creation of model variants using forms, material editor …

• Adjustment of the working environment to different Creo releases

• Multi-lingual and support for international parameter and data concept

• Unicode-enabled

Apps for product development

All tools close at hand. Always have an overview.

One working environment with central management• Configuration files for Creo Parametric

settings: drawing, BOM, mapkeys, ModelCHECK configuration

• Synchronised objects: start parts, symbols, formats, reports, UDFs

• PTC Creo Parametric examples with assemblies, parts and drawings

The working environment is critical for the efficient deployment of computer applications. The more complex the situation, the more important this component becomes. The start-up time for the user until he can actually begin creating value, must be optimised. A well thought out working environment, adapted to the needs of the company, automatically ensures a much higher degree of standardisation and provides the basis for working guidelines.

• Guidelines for installation, start objects, naming conventions, filing, plotting, parameters, layers, simplified representations, forms and templates as well as company specific concepts

• International parameter and data concept – use product development data across sites

Formats, reports, tables

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES FOR YOU

• Central administration and organisation of the PTC product development environment

• Faster implementation of the PTC product family (Creo Parametric, Creo Simulate, Creo Layout, Creo Direct, Windchill)

• Documentation• Transparent installation and

implementation

• Standardisation and structuring • Enhancement in daily productivity • Quick access to important functions and

tasks through configurable, mode and selection sensitive ring menu

• Eliminates setup time• Harmonised working environment

HIGHLIGHTS BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES FOR YOU

CAD applications: GENIUS TOOLS for CreoAll CAD applications are based on programming interfaces certified by PTC and can be customised specifically for projects to meet different enterprise requirements.

• Faster variant creation through design automation of parts and assemblies

• Automated and standardised BOM creation with Parameter Manager

• Fast position number assignment• Quickly find objects with the graphical

library manager• Intelligent, standards-compliant features

library

GENIUS TOOLS LibraryThe graphical library manager and viewer allows the convenient retrieval, copy, insert, copied and insert preconfigured objects (parts, assemblies, UDFs, sketches and report tables) from the standard library. Previews can be created by double-clicking and the selection files (mnu) can be modified conveniently through the editor. In addition to the preview images, PDF or HTML help documents can added. The Google-like search also includes parameter values such as designation or name.

GENIUS TOOLS ParameterParameter manager for comfortable editing of administrative information (description, drawing number, designer, …) of parts, assemblies and drawings. Parameters to be edited (name, type, display text, …) are specified in a parameter definition file (multiple parameter definition files supported).

GENIUS TOOLS DimensionThis auxiliary application allows quick and simultaneous modification of all dimension values and dimension symbols of a feature, part, assembly or an assembly sub-component. Dimensions are highlighted dynamically when moving the cursor over the dimension symbol. Active filter allows you to display only the dimensions with changed symbols.

GENIUS TOOLS FormsGenerates user-defined form masks to control parts and assemblies.A form can be created for every model (PRT/ASM) to oversee and quickly modify properties (dimensions, parameters, features, components, variant table values, mapkeys). The form is saved in the model and can be used for all modifications.

Design TOOLS The design library of Startup TOOLS – function-oriented design• Set mechanical engineering standards

rather than redefining them • Automatically adapt design elements to

standards • Simply integrate DIN (standards)

information instead of carrying out a cumbersome search

• Create standards-compliant and intelligent shaft elements such as undercuts, slots, cones, gearing

GENIUS TOOLS Quick Access • Configurable, mode and selection sensitive

ring menu for executing mapkeys• Company-wide organisation and deployment

of mapkeys• Graphical editor for configuration and

assignment of mapkey commands

GENIUS TOOLS Utilities A collection of tools for retrieving or creating drawings of the same name, number generator, material selection and exporting drawing BOMs or any desired drawing tables to MS-EXCEL.

“Startup TOOLS helps facilitate work because our processes have speeded up. Operations that were impossible before are now a breeze.”Zimmer GmbH

“I can’t imagine working without Startup TOOLS anymore. By working with Startup TOOLS it means I am about 50% faster than previously when performing similar tasks. This means these useful tools do not only simplify the work, but also accelerate it – and productivity is increased.”

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Configuration and central administration of the working environmentCentral storage of all configuration settings and objects as well as the possibility to graphically configure diverse working environments ensures support for all user requirements of a Creo Parametric, Creo Direct, Creo Layout and Creo Simulate workplace (including Pro/INTRALINK, Windchill PDMLink). The working environment considers site-specific needs, such as language, plot environment, installation standards as well as license and software availability.

Configurable requirements (selection) • Use of a specific installation (release or

build)• Choose a startkey• Display available licenses • Contents of all configuration files

(config.sup, config.pro) and therefore all references to relevant settings (plot environment, drawing setups, libraries, …)

• Locale for Creo Parametric, Creo Simulate, Creo Layout, Creo Direct, Windchill

• Definition of additional variables

Configurator

Start Client

Project management BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES FOR YOU

• User and computer group working environments control

• GUI management of the installation (no scripting necessary)

• Supports different working environments• Web-based administration • Optimised performance and reduced

network load through caching mechanism for add-on applications

• Definitions such as which user works on which project with a specific configuration

• Windchill integration• License management• Cloning of working environments• Laptop synchronisation / travelling mode

• Initialisation of additional applications before launching or after exiting the application

• Startkey synchronisation

The central organisation allows you to cover specific user or workplace based requirements.

“By introducing INNEO Startup TOOLS we have successfully achieved a high level of standardisation of the features that can be used without restricting the individual freedom of our designers. This way we were able to reduce the number of tools and setup time in manufacturing significantly.”

SMC Pneumatik GmbH

“Utilising Startup TOOLS enhances the administration of the individual seats. The environment can be adapted to new project tasks easier and faster, therefore faster start of workgroups and further jobs is guaranteed.” […] “Work is about 15 – 20% more efficient and therefore faster!” […] “The individual designer is provided with programme customisations that either aren’t available otherwise or would require lots more effort without Startup TOOLS.”
