Data Sheet PTC Creo Advanced Assembly Extension ® Take the Complexity out of Designing, Managing, and Sharing Large Assemblies PTC Creo Advanced Assembly (AAX) helps users simplify complex designs and allows for the development of advanced content with better control, design intent propagation, and system integration. With its advanced tools for top-down assembly design, PTC Creo AAX streamlines the flow of information from design to manufacturing, helping you reach the optimal design, including customized designs, in far less time. Plan and manage large assemblies Using top-down design tools, it’s easy to plan out the skeleton of the assembly so that individual components can be designed in the context of the overall structure. As a result, the complexity of managing various relationships between components is simplified. PTC Creo AAX also makes it easy to simultaneously share key geometry features among multiple design teams, and simplifies very large assemblies using tools like Default Envelopes. A design assembly containing many objects can easily be represented by a solid part with less detail in order to reduce the number of objects retrieved and to decrease load times. custom criteria with minimal effort. Even better, all downstream deliverables, such as production drawings and manufacturing information, are updated automatically with each change making customization simple, fast, and error-free. Design automation with ease The ability to quickly customize product designs to meet a customer’s specific needs can give you a powerful competitive advantage. The customization process can, however, be time-consuming and error-prone. With PTC Creo AAX, you can automate the design by driving designs based on specific Page 1 of 3 | PTC Creo Advanced Assembly Extension PTC Creo AAX offers advanced assembly capabilities, such as skeleton models and data-sharing features, to support top-down design. Design criteria related to the assembly can easily be communicated to teams working concurrently on designs.

Data Sheet Key benefits • Improve performance by simplifying large assemblies. Use top-down design tools to build the skeleton model and share down-stream design intent, giving you greater flexibility and control over the entire structure • Make changes with confidence, knowing that all modifications are automatically propagated from the design to the manufacturing information Smart design intent • Programmatically automate the customization of your product lines based on input parameters • Deliver accurate and updated drawings as well as manufacturing deliverables in record time for a customized...
