Creo 3D design packages for more roles in the enterprise

Creo provides packages to meet the varied demands of roles

outside the design engineering teams who need to participate
in product development. These packages combine Creo apps
and extensions to deliver the optimal set of capabilities for
roles such as analysts, industrial designers and others. Now
everyone – CAD experts and casual users alike – can access
2D and 3D design data with easy to use tools that enable
them to contribute to product development more effectively
and efficiently.

Creo Analyst

This powerful virtual prototyping package provides you a complete

range of structural and thermal analysis capabilities, including
advanced, nonlinear CAE features. In addition, you can streamline
your CAE workflow using direct modeling capabilities that help
you prepare models for analysis faster than ever before. You can
quickly edit models to de-feature or simplify the geometry with less
frustration without waiting for the design engineer to do the task.

Creo Concept Engineer

This package is tailored for design engineers who need more

speed and flexibility in creating and exploring 2D and 3D
design concepts. Whether simple or complex, many product
designs start in 2D and can evolve into very detailed 3D
designs. Creo gives you the capabilities to quickly create
design concepts in 2D and 3D and seamlessly leverage
the data in a downstream, detailed design process. The
capabilities in the Creo Concept Engineer package will speed
up your concept design process and accelerate the transition
to detailed design.
