Data Sheet Creo Simulate ® GAIN EARLY INSIGHT INTO DESIGN PERFORMANCE Creo Simulate gives designers the power to understand structural and thermal product performance ‘on the desktop,’ before resorting to costly, time-consuming physical prototyping. By gaining early insight into product behavior, you can vastly improve product quality while saving time, effort and money. Today’s competitive marketplace is forcing design teams to ‘get it right the first time.’ The reality is, the earlier in the development cycle that designers can understand product performance, the faster a quality product can get to market. When teams must rely on costly, time-consuming physical prototyping to test product behavior, schedules and budgets are quickly compromised. Other CAE tools offer a solution, but they’re usually disconnected from the CAD solution. Thus, engineers must spend valuable time translating data and preparing the model for analysis. Then, each time there’s a design change, designers have to repeat the translation process. Moreover, typical CAE tools require users to have an extensive, specialized skill set. There’s a faster, smarter way to evaluate product performance with a powerful yet easy-to-use simulation solution – Creo Simulate. With Creo Simulate, design engineers can better understand product performance and then optimize the digital design – early in the design cycle, without needing expertise in simulation. Available as a stand-alone or an extension to Creo Parametric, Creo Simulate has the same user interface, workflow and productivity tools that are prevalent throughout Creo. Thus, product designers can enjoy the same industry – leading power, performance and associativity of Creo Parametric for all their analysis needs – without needing to learn a new program. In addition, Creo Simulate analyzes native Creo and Creo Elements/Direct™ models and stores the analyses in the model files. This capability means streamlined data management with no data translation. With the ability to virtually evaluate product performance on screen, Creo Simulate gives engineers the freedom to explore new ideas and design variants, then optimize their designs. Furthermore, engineers have confidence that their new designs will satisfy performance requirements, need fewer changes during physical prototyping and deliver superior value. Creo Simulate allows you to analyze your model and quickly identify problem areas. Once you update the design, you can easily rerun the analysis, without recreating it.
