  Creo+ continues to deliver new enhancements designed to accelerate your workflows and boost productivity. With over 40 new enhancements across user productivity, composites, ECAD, simulation, manufacturing and more, Creo+ 13.1 helps you to deliver your best designs in less time than ever before! Smarter Electrical Design: In Creo+ you can now build harnesses as assemblies for structured data management, component reuse, and easier collaboration in multi-user collaboration sessions. Intelligent MBD: Pattern recognition in GD&T Advisor helps to define patterns, capture design intent, and maintain associativity for faster, more accurate annotations. As your model evolves, the pattern recognition feature will adjust accordingly. Advanced Surfacing: Enjoy smoother, higher-quality surfaces with improved flexibility in control point manipulation and faster performance – even on the most complex models. Simulation Upgrades: ANSYS solvers have been upgraded to version 2025 R2 to deliver enhanced security and improved mesh defaults for greater fidelity and confidence. Composites Enhancements: Greater robustness in solidification, support for draping along curves, and better handling of missing materials. Manufacturing Efficiency: Automated intent chain creation at beam-shell intersections, and a new side milling tool for efficient undercut machining. Collaboration: teams can now delete unwanted branches in collaboration mode to stay aligned and keep projects clean. Creo gets better and better with each release, helping you to deliver the right product at the right time. 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 learn more.
