Creo Elements/Direct
Creo Elements/Direct – formerly CoCreate – is a complete design environment that offers the world’s #1 direct 3D CAD modeler, along with 2D CAD, CAE and integrated product data management (PDM). Creo Elements/Direct provides speed, flexibility, and responsiveness-to-change for customers facing short design cycles, one-off product designs, or companies demanding a lightweight design process. This direct approach to 3D CAD software design delivers faster design cycles and flexibility to the 3D design. A broad set of add-on design modules brings additional product development capabilities to Creo Elements/Direct CAD and PDM products.
As a member of the Creo product family, Creo Elements/Direct users can broaden their design possibilities through the use of Creo apps. Models can be shared for downstream use in Creo Parametric for additional design modifications, Creo Simulate for analysis, and Creo View MCAD for visualization and sharing of 3D designs.
