Gain Early Insights into Product Performance

Creo Simulation, an extension of Creo Parametric, empowers engineers to perform advanced finite element analysis—covering structural loads, thermal behavior, and vibration modes—directly on 3D models.

By enabling virtual testing during design, you can identify potential issues before creating physical prototypes, reducing development costs and timelines. This early-validation approach accelerates engineering decisions, improves verification processes, and leads to more reliable, high-quality products.

Real-World Impact with NASA Projects

Merrick Engineering worked with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to design robust liquid hydrogen and oxygen test stands capable of withstanding millions of pounds of load. Their team turned to Creo Simulation and EAC’s expert services to validate designs under extreme forces—demonstrating reliability and structural integrity at scale. Explore how simulation enabled faster, safer engineering outcomes.

In this video you will see how Merrick’s engineers created solutions for NASA as they developed and tested concepts that required the ability to withstand certain forces. It was developed to support large tanks while withstanding significant forces from the push and pull of millions of pounds of load against the test stands and the test stand articles.

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

What is Creo Simulation?

Creo Simulation is a structural, thermal, and vibration analysis solution. It provides comprehensive capabilities to analyze and validate the performance of 3D virtual prototypes (CAD Models).

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.

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.

Why should simulation be a part of my design process?

The traditional iterative method begins with a model, then testing, then requires refining the model multiple times over. With simulation, engineers can explore different iterations and understand product performance earlier in the design process. Simulation-led design integrated with ANSYS software considerably shortens the time from concept to completion.

What do I use for high-end analysis?

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