Data Sheet PTC Creo Advanced Framework Extension ® Go From Design to Fabrication in Record Time PTC Creo Advanced Framework Extension (AFX) gives engineers and designers the power to create structural frameworks much faster using powerful, simple-to-use features that are tailored to specific framework design tasks. An integral part of the PTC Creo product family, PTC Creo AFX provides designers and engineers with a means to dramatically improve the accuracy and productivity of defining structural framework assemblies. Because this module is native to PTC Creo, you can quickly and easily share this intelligent 3D model throughout all phases of the project–design, detailing, analysis, fabrication, and final assembly. Now you can achieve faster structural framework definition and meet or beat even the most aggressive project deadlines. Add PTC Creo AFX to your cache of design tools and dramatically reduce the time to create accurate structures, frames, or assembly lines compared to 2D CAD and traditional 3D CAD solid modeling methods. Key benefits Unified, integral design environment • Fully associative modeling ensures that design changes are reflected throughout the design process • Single digital definition–incorporating all manufacturing information–eliminates management of additional files • Eliminate time-consuming data translation between software applications Simple • Easy to learn and use • Automates many tasks, significantly reducing design time • 100% parametric definition speeds design of a wide variety of framework sections Powerful • Quickly define corner joints and nodes between virtually any section • Eliminate costly changes due to fit up problems or rework Putting together structures using PTC Creo Advanced Framework Extension eliminates fit up errors, saves valuable engineering time, and reduces the cost of development.
