Creo+ 13.2 delivers enhancements to help users collaborate effectively and achieve higher-quality results on their best designs in less time. Surfacing introduces piece-to-piece parameterization and improved control of tangent curve lengths – making it easier to build precise surfaces with fewer iterations. Multibody design is more flexible with better creation and updates of assemblies derived from multibody parts. Simulation-driven design in Creo incorporates the latest Ansys solvers and simplified bolt elements for patterns and preloads, giving teams more accurate studies with less setup effort. Gain major time savings in composite design with significant improvements to reuse existing designs. In manufacturing, Creo+ 13.2 has a new spiral toolpath type, gouge protection, and a closed-loop option to reduce errors in high-speed milling steps.Read the release notes to learn more.

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

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
