The end of Creo Simulate ?

[ptc-5259023]

A friend of mine, who works at PTC, told me that a couple of months ago the core of Creo Simulate development group (the most experienced developers and managers) was suddenly laid off.

You may want to take this into account while planning your future Simulation work.

Hi Michael,

My name is Mark Fischer, Director of Product Management at PTC responsible for Creo Simulate.

Creo Simulate continues to be a key offering in the PTC Product Portfolio, and our vision is to continue developing it to satisfy the needs of our customers interested in performing more analysis, earlier in the design process. Shortly, PTC will be shipping the Creo 3.0 release, which will be one of the most exciting releases of Creo Simulate, including a series of key enhancements to help our users. With the growing interest for Simulation and Analysis Tools and usage throughout the design process (CIMDATA 2013 Report), PTC has no plans to discontinue new development of Creo Simulate. For future releases, PTC will continue to monitor market trends, listen to our customers and introduce new capabilities to provide a compelling solution for our customer.

To address the comments on development, Creo Simulate development was balanced between a number of our R&D facilities around the world. In an effort to optimize the product development of Creo Simulate we looked to create a center of excellence for Simulation development. The chosen location was India. India has and will remain the main development center for Creo Simulate and the rest of our simulation products (MDX/MDO and BMX). This team has been actively developing Creo Simulate for over 10 years, and have a deep level of understanding of the product. This team remains focused and committed to the success of Creo Simulate.

If you are at PTC Live next week, please stop by and we can discuss in person. Otherwise if you have further questions, you can email me at -.

Regards,

Mark
