Creo Parametric Ideas

Current Creo doesn't have the ability to deform a plastic or rubber part when it is assembled. The use case is for o'rings, rubber parts that are assembled with a different form than it is modeled. A round o'ring can be assembled in a square or rectangular grove. ... View more

Bounding Box as a Feature Please make a feature in Creo Parametric representing the smallest area or volume in which a design can fit, bounding box. Please spend a few minutes looking at this video from SolidWorks, it is very simple and easy to understand. Bunding Box   Chees Erik Sallingboe ... View more

Please add ability to Creo Parametric to allow flexible parts and assemblies to be replaced by another part or assembly with out removing flexibility.   Thanks, Don Anderson   ... View more

Could we add an option to change the default values (settings) when editing a bend to have Anchor Apex active and use "Constant wall Height" as default for Bending editing option. (to keep part dimensions the same).   In Sheetmetal Flexible Modeling 99.9998% of the time you when you want to change bend radii of a customer's solidworks/etc... file(s) that you converted to sheet metal, that is all you want to change is the Radii.    the default settings changes the position and height of the flange/flat. changing the overall dimensions of the customers part.    99.998% of the time you will not want to change the size of a customers part. just the radii to match your bending tools. The part dimensions should stay as in the original file by default. ... View more

Modifying the view display style should only apply to the currently active window.  Or, at least make this a config setting which the user can turn on/off.   It would be so much better if the view display style setting "sticks" for each window I have open.  Changing the view display style for one window should not change the setting for all open windows!  It results in a lot of unnecessary clicks when flipping between different parts and assemblies. ...

Hoses are generally used to convey fluids when a tube cannot be used because there is motion or vibration between the connection points. It would be awesome if Creo would have a tool to simulate the behavior/motion of a hose on a pivot or slider joint mechanism and analyze/optimize the hose length and slack to be able to meet all the positions in the mechanism and show the stress concentrations and bend violations or failures.   This tool could also be used for cabling simulation.   ...

Hello there,   I am trying to conduct an animation where a cable dynamically follows the connected connectors which are moving based on different constraints that I apply.   So far, I cannot find a way to see the dynamic change on the cable shape due to the movement of the connectors.   Can you please have a look on this idea and let me know how can this be applied to Creo Parametric?   Thanks.   Kind regards,   Pavlos Zairis. ...

At the moment it´s possible to edit a rounding of an edgefold (f.e. 90degrees) in sheetmetal with flexible modeling. With this option you can realise a clinch situation.   Please make this feature accessible for 180degree edgefolds in sheetmetal     ... View more

In some scenarios, it's useful to convert an assembly of parts into a single part file.  This is different than merge modeling.  The components do not need to be merged together, I just want a single part file with all the datums and items in the feature trees of the assembled parts.  This is useful for creating robust backups that will not be affected by design changes in lower level components, quickly concepting part consolidation designs, and making certain add ins like Simulate more robust by eliminating the geometric references necessary for the assembly.  Implementation wise, it just needs a save as .prt option in the save a copy menu, similar to saving as iges or step.  Other CAD tools like Solidworks have had this for a long time and it doesn't seem very technically challenging to implement. ...
