Are you aware of the support for mass idealizations in Creo generative design?

In Generative Design, you can now define a point mass to represent a concentrated mass without stiffness or a specific shape, and apply it to the preserved geometry surfaces. This point mass idealization allows you to study how the model… Continue Reading →

Have you explored the support for remote force loads in Creo generative design?

In Generative Design, you can now define a remote force load through a point and apply it to preserved geometry surfaces. The total load at the point can behave in one of two ways: Additionally, you can define Deformable or… Continue Reading →

Did you know you can measure the distance between geometry and hybrid body in Creo?

In Creo, you can now measure the distance between a regular geometry and a hybrid body using the Measure tool. With the Measure > Distance command, you can select a hybrid body (such as a lattice or generative body) as… Continue Reading →

Have you tried the rotational symmetry constraint in Creo generative design?

Creo now offers the option to use Rotational Symmetry as an additional geometric constraint within generative study design criteria. You can apply Symmetry constraints to your design, including planar symmetry, rotational symmetry, or a combination of both. To set up… Continue Reading →

Did you know about Generative Design Extension Feature in Creo 7?

Starting with Creo 7, once an optimization is set up in Generative Topology Optimization (GTO), user can add multiple design criteria, and multiple materials to each Design Criterion. GDX generates multiple designs simultaneously and provides simple and intuitive way for… Continue Reading →

Have you tried Multibody for Generative Design in Creo 7?
