Creo 5.0 also introduces improvements to surfacing, sheet metal design and the application of draft features involving rounds.īeginning with version 5.0, Creo users can also now design in Creo while maintaining the perspective display mode.

Key enhancements cited by the company include an improved user interface, geometry creation with sketch regions and volume helical sweeps.

PTC says that, after users define objectives and constraints, Creo’s new Topology Optimization capability will create optimized, parametric geometry. The Creo Topology Optimization Extension will be available as part of the first maintenance build of Creo 5.0, which is scheduled for release this summer, according to PTC. This, PTC explains, enables users to create optimized and efficient parts. Additionally, the extension allows users to connect with the Materialise online library of print drivers and profiles.Ĭreo 5.0’s new Creo Topology Optimization Extension is said to automatically create optimized designs based on a defined set of objectives and constraints.

Version 5.0 introduces the Creo Additive Manufacturing Plus Extension for Materialise, which extends these capabilities to metal parts, allowing users to print production-grade parts directly from Creo.

A new Flow Analysis extension for use with Creo 5.0 offers designers the tools to execute CFD-based analyses of liquids and gases early and often during the design process.
