PTC adds that when Creo Options Modeler is used with Creo Parametric 3D CAD, it enables teams to validate precise mass and center of gravity as well as check and resolve such issues as interference for modular designs. The new app, which will be available this summer, is said to deliver a dedicated set of capabilities to build accurate, up-to-date, precise 3D-based product assemblies, irrespective of size or complexity. PTC calls its new role-specific app the Options Modeler, and describes it as being built for designers who need to create or validate modular product designs in 3D early in a design cycle. In a related announcement, PTC also announced the 10.1 version of its Windchill PLM (product lifecycle management) software. The Creo 2.0 release delivers more than 490 enhancements to the Creo app family for parametric and direct modeling, sketching, and 2D design. With Creo 2.0, PTC introduces a new role-specific app supporting modular product design that extends the way organizations can approach concept design and delivers significant productivity enhancements to its existing Creo apps. PTC (Needham, MA) has released version 2.0 of its Creo 2.0 product design software. Creo Options Modeler enables users to couple allowable product options, parts structure, and 3D models.
