Creo Simulation Live

ADVANCED SIMULATION SOFTWARE

Creo Simulation Live advanced simulation software is equipped with ANSYS Discovery Simulation engine, enabling users to run real- real-time analysis for static structural, thermal and modal (vibration) simulation.

With Creo Simulation Live, you get instant feedback on your design decisions in your CAD environment as you work. You no longer have to guess at how your design might perform under real-world conditions. You iterate fast, incorporating as many design changes as you want, confident that you’ve made the best-informed decisions possible.

INSTANTANEOUS SIMULATION ANALYSIS RESULTS

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Static structural analysis is used to determine the structural integrity of design iteration components subject to the real-world constraints and constant loading condition

THERMAL ANALYSIS

Thermal Analysis is used to analyze the effects of instant heat or cold leverages the real-world constraints and constant loading conditions and thermal diffusivity.

MODAL ANALYSIS

Modal Analysis is used to evaluate and solve for natural frequency shock and vibration.

Professor Rajesh Bhaskaran

Ph.D. Swanson Director of Engineering Simulation, Cornell University

I see Creo Simulation Live as a valuable teaching tool as it removes the barrier of having to learn how to use a simulation tool. Educators can focus on teaching the concepts, demonstrating the physics in action and how to assess the results. Similarly, students can get right to the physics and discover without having to become simulation experts first. This tool will allow true democratization of simulation.

Stephan Esser

Designer, SQlab GmbH

Creo Simulation Live is the perfect solution to help me design new products that work the first time. I am not a Simulation expert, but now I can do Stress Analysis myself. It is so easy to set up, runs fast and automatically stays synchronized with my design changes.

Bob Tickel

Director of Structural & Dynamics Analysis , Corporate R&T

When I first saw Discovery Live I was very intrigued. I believe it could be a game changer, and greatly help in democratization of modeling and simulation. It has the potential for our specialists and designers to do “what if” studies much, much faster and easier.

Jacobs

I was blown away by the speed and ease of use of Discovery. The time to complete an analysis is on the order of minutes as opposed to hours. You will be able to perform your first analysis in less than 15 minutes.

Colten Brunenn

Product Manager, ALM Positioners

Mainstreaming our operations is completed with PTC Windchill in combination with Creo. We utilize it all the way from design to production, fabrication, and assembly. It’s all paperless so everything is live, up-to-date information.

You can count on personalized support around the clock – by email, live chat, or by joining a live webinar.

How accurate is Creo Simulation Live?

Accuracy with any modeling and simulation tool depends on many factors. Creo Simulation Live uses a proprietary solution formulation approach for near-instant result feedback. There are slight differences between CSL and traditional FEA tools. but do not compare to other sources of uncertainty. CSL is a design “direction finder” for qualitative analysis.

What is the difference between Creo Simulation Live and Creo Simulate?

Creo Simulation Live (CSL) yields instantaneous results enabling design engineers to iterate the model and make decisions with fewer interruptions. Although CSL covers most use cases, Creo Simulate offers a broader range of possibilities. Creo Simulate has a classic simulation workflow consisting of setting boundary conditions, meshing, solver computing, and exploring and tracking results.

Does Creo Simulate require users to be an expert in the field of analysis?

No, it does not require users to be an expert in analysis. PTC Creo Simulate gives engineers user-friendly analysis tools to make quality decisions early in the design process.

Can Creo Simulation Live replace Creo Simulate?

Creo Simulation Live complements Creo Simulate but can not be a replacement. Creo Simulate is vital to solving complex problems and final validation for your designs.

What do I use for high-end analysis?

Use Creo Simulate, Creo Simulation Live Extension, and Creo Flow Analysis.
