PTC adds real-time remote collaboration to Creo+ CAD software



Creo+, from manufacturing software firm PTC, will include features from the latest version of the program alongside additional cloud-based capabilities to enable quicker and more collaborative work. To get more news about mechanical cad, you can visit shine news official website.

The tool, which was announced yesterday (16 May) at the company’s annual LiveWorx digital transformation conference near its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, will launch later this year.
As well as real-time collaboration, enabling multiple team members to review, explore and edit product designs, the program will also be accessible via web browser. New users will be able to get to work in just five minutes if they have a good internet connection, the company claimed.

“With Creo+, our customers will be enabled to design faster, easier, and more collaboratively than ever before,” said Brian Thompson, Creo general manager at PTC. “We’ve combined the market-leading design capabilities of Creo with productivity benefits that can only be achieved through the power of the cloud. Now, Creo+ users can collaborate on the same designs simultaneously with internal and external partners, which helps accelerate the development process and reduce redesign.”

A recorded demonstration showed a lead engineer, composites engineer, junior engineer and simulation engineer all working on a helicopter design simultaneously. The program ‘locks’ components that are being worked on, preventing two engineers from editing the same thing at the same time, before combining the changes by merging separate branches together. The design can then be quickly tested using in-built simulation capabilities.

New features in Creo 10, which will all be included in Creo+, include allowing users to design and simulate with composite materials, for lighter products that maintain strength and durability.
