Data Sheet PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension ® Optimize your Designs with Ease Wouldn’t it be great if your computer-aided design software automatically determined the best design for you? Think of the time and effort you’d save. That’s exactly what PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension (BMX) does for you by delivering three key capabilities: design studies, smart models, and an open environment that uses calculated results from external programs. When you have multiple design objectives to consider, such as how to maintain product strength while reducing material wall thickness, it can be very tedious and time-consuming to manually calculate the optimum values. Even then you can’t be sure that you have the optimum design because it simply takes too much time to calculate all of the various possibilities that might work. PTC Creo BMX automates this process for you using design studies. To conduct a design study, you simply define your engineering goals, then define where your design is flexible and PTC Creo BMX automatically analyzes countless iterations before arriving at the best solution. PTC PTC Creo BMX raises the level of design automation from simple geometry creation to a fully engineered solution. All you need to do is pick the best design and move on to your next task. PTC Creo BMX can also optimize specific features within a design by creating “smart models.” Smart models capture design and process information so that the model has the built-in intelligence to actually understand its function. PTC Creo BMX captures this knowledge as a feature, which is automatically evaluated against the requirements as the design evolves. This automation will increase your level of confidence that the design will function as intended Page 1 of 3 | PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension the first time. It also means that engineers can focus their energy on developing the design rather than continually checking engineering requirements. The trial-and-error approach to find the desired cross-sectional area along a curve can be extremely time-consuming, but with PTC Creo BMX, it’s fast and easy. PTC Creo BMX saves you time and effort in many ways. For instance, very often you need to use complex formulas to calculate design variables. Usually, these calculations require third-party tools. Just imagine if your design software automatically read the output from those third-party programs and automatically updated your design? Not only would this save you time, but it would also eliminate the need to manually input values, thereby reducing the risk of errors. With PTC Creo BMX, this is more than possible – it’s easy! Only PTC Creo BMX features an open, extensible environment that enables organizations to integrate diverse external tools into their design process.
