Concurrent Engineering Blog

You may have been wondering how 3D CAD software Creo works with engineering calculations software Mathcad Prime 3.0. John Sheehan spoke on his blog earlier this year about how the two work together. In fact, he made it known to his readers that the integration between the two products has existed since 2006. To what extent are they integrated? Well, dimensions and parameters can be sent from Creo to Mathcad where it can be run through complex (or simple) calculations – the results of which can be returned to Creo and tied back to the dimensions and parameters. 

With the new release of Mathcad Prime 3.0, it’s not surprising that you are eager to see it in action. Here is your chance; the Mathcad Prime 3.0 demo webinar is the ideal opportunity to find out everything you want to know about the latest version of Mathcad. 

The wait for Mathcad Prime 3.0 is over. This new release is a clear enhancement, offering users more capabilities to solve larger problems more efficiently. With the an unlimited capacity to outline your own functions, the ability to solve numeric and symbolic equations, and the additional function of solving complex systems of equations, it is the ideal solution for your engineering calculation needs.

Designing and creating innovative products is hard. Not only are customers more discerning now, but also market pressures and competition are tougher than ever before. It means that even successful companies are having to re-evaluate processes and best practice to gain that edge. 

It is only in the last few years that direct modeling has really started to come to the fore. While it has previously only been used in a few functions, many engineers and designers are now turning to a direct modeling approach in some of their work. In this blog post, we’ll out line why this is the case.

Like many companies today, are you experiencing difficulties when it comes to managing parts, materials and suppliers? Do you struggle to gain and communicate enterprise alignment on preferred status? If this is the case, then it’s likely you’ll be able to relate to some of the following challenges.

We’re very excited to announce the details of out PTC Creo Improving 2D & 3D design event. This free one-day event will be held at Brooklands museum, the birthplace of British motorsport.

Product design often happens in a multi-team setting. While there are many advantages of this, including being able to scale more quickly or access particular expertise, there are drawbacks.

Years ago, when parametric technology and features first came about, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it revolutionised the CAD industry. This technology really changed the way that engineering organisations not only developed 3D models, it also changed the way that they made amends to the drawings as well. Even recently, research has shown the benefits of building intelligence into models and modular approaches that really provide a lot of power and help automate a lot of the engineering process.

Creo parametric offers users the highest level of performance of any 3D parametric modeling software. It also gives you greater depth of capability and more option extensions to meet your specific needs. With such an impressive toolset, it’s not a surprise that we want to share this. So, we’ve made 11 tweetable facts on Creo Parametric, which are all easy to share.
