The system will retain those positions and display states so your working environment stays the same.Īnother change is the way in which the system displays datums. This can be achieved on an operation-byoperation basis. For the Creo 8 release, dialogues and panels from the Creo dashboard can now be floated and docked as the user sees fit. The Creo user interface has remained pretty consistent over the last 20 years – but that’s not to say it hasn’t been consistently improved, too. So, with all this in mind, shall we explore what the worldwide community of Creo can expect to see in Creo 8? Creo 8 – Core user experience

The result is a far broader exploration of a design space and more options at the end of it all. Here, instead of using a combination of topology optimisation and some smart geometry wrangling to achieve a singular optimum, we see a ‘design of experiments’ approach and use of cloud-based compute to explore many more options for inputs (such as materials or manufacturing constraints).

A solid example is the evolution of single-goal generative design tools into a more mature form of generative design. Since then, capabilities have continued to grow. Integration with Ansys’s real-time simulation technology continues apace, in the form of Creo Simulation Live, while for those looking for traditional simulation, there’s been the release of the Creo Ansys Simulation module, which brings to Creo’s UI the Ansys Mechanical solver. We also saw the company’s partnership with Ansys continue to bear fruit. In Creo 7 and its subsequent release cycle, we saw the integration of multibody modelling with some fresh thinking on established modelling methods, as well as the integration of generative design technology from PTC’s 2018 purchase of Frustum. The overwhelming impression is of a company successfully juggling the tasks of reinventing long established workflows, and adding brand-new tools and technologies that have arrived at PTC through acquisition and partnership. Not since the days of the move from Pro/Engineer to Wildfire have we seen this amount of investment in the core tools within the system. Over the last few releases, some interesting things have been happening with PTC’s flagship product design and engineering system, Creo. With Creo 8, PTC continues to successfully juggle the tasks of reinventing long-established workflows and adding brand-new tools and technologies from acquisitions and partnerships, as Al Dean reports
