Creo+ 13.0 debuts the Creo AI Assistant (Beta) and over 40 other enhancements designed to help you deliver better designs, faster. The Creo AI Assistant (Beta) provides troubleshooting support for specific error messages directly in the Creo environment – saving time and frustration. Creo Simulation Live now includes thermal optimization on ECAD assemblies, and manufacturing updates support design for conformal cooling channels in part mode and easier back boring and back countersinking design. Composite capabilities are expanded with simulation results per ply, flat pattern export enhancements, and dedicated composite material types. Performance enhancements in the model tree provide a 15% improvement in design regeneration and improved global clearance and interference checks have up to a 10x speed improvement. Finally, productivity upgrades for Freestyle and Sketcher enable even quicker workflows to deliver your best designs in less time. Read the release notes to lea

Are you frustrated with limited functionality when you use PTC Mathcad Express? Watch this on-demand 60-minute in-depth session made just for Mathcad Express users on how to get the maximum benefit from the PTC Mathcad experience.   Also, we have a new Mathcad worksheet available for download that gives an in-depth comparison between Express's capabilities and Mathcad Prime's capabilities. It was ghost-written by popular Mathcad author Brent Maxfield, so Mathcad Express users will learn a lot about what they're missing by not upgrading to Prime.

Welcome to Blog Post #21 in Our Multibody Series!   In today’s post, we’re diving into a powerful new capability introduced in Creo 11—the ability to reference an existing point/coordinate system based pattern in a geometry pattern of type "point" pattern. This enhancement can significantly streamline your workflow, especially when working with complex body patterns. To get started, check out the What’s New video linked below. The first section highlights the benefits of the new “From Pattern” option in point patterns, which helps accelerate regeneration using the “Identical” or “Flexible” regeneration modes. Around the 50-second mark, the video also demonstrates some useful body patterning techniques.   (view in My Videos)   While the video covers the basics, here are a few key tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this feature: Patterning Bodies with Coordinate SystemsUse a pattern of coordinate systems

Join Team Mathcad plus guest presenter Marius Pop from AAC Clyde Space in Mathcad for Electrical Engineers! Originally aired February 12 2025, but available now on-demand.   This is the long-awaited EE flavour of our "Mathcad for ___ Engineers" series (we previously had Civil and Mechanical). Like the others, Anji gives a brief introduction on what Mathcad is and why electrical engineers use it, and then Marius showed examples with two Mathcad worksheets on classic problems that engineers may use Mathcad for; he solves these in several interesting methods. The remaining time was be used for live Q&A, moderated by yours truly.   The replay is available now at this link, as well as all presentation materials.
