OverviewPTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension helps you save time and effort automatically determining the best design for you, delivering three key capabilities: design studies, smart models, and an open environment that uses calculated results from external programs. When you have multiple design objectives to consider, such as how to maintain product strength while reducing material wall thickness, it can be very tedious and time-consuming to manually calculate the optimum values. PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension automates this process of calculating them for you using design studies: simply define your engineering goals, then define where your design is flexible and PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension automatically analyzes countless iterations before arriving at the best solution. |
PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension can also optimize specific features within a design by creating “smart models.” Smart models capture design and process information so that the model has the built-in intelligence to actually understand its function. PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension captures this knowledge as a feature, which is automatically evaluated against the requirements as the design evolves. This automation will increase your level of confidence that the design will function as intended the first time. It also means that engineers can focus their energy on developing the design rather than continually checking engineering requirements.
PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension saves you time and effort in many ways. For instance, very often you need to use complex formulas to calculate design variables. Usually, these calculations require third-party tools. The software automatically reads the output from those third-party programs and updates your design: save time and eliminate the need to manually input values, thereby reducing the risk of errors.
