CREATE AND VALIDATE MODULAR PRODUCTS
Creo Options Modeler is a dedicated app for
creating and validating 3D modular products.
By creating reusable product modules and
defining how they interface and assemble,
designers can quickly create and validate any
customer-specific product.
Design engineers need to respond to many challenges when
developing products, especially in dynamic, competitive environments with increasingly diverse and varied needs of new
markets or new customer opportunities. By using a modular
product approach to design, they can reduce complexity while
still providing a broad range of product offerings – without
significant increases in cost or complexity.
When combined with Windchill®, PTC’s product lifecycle management software, Creo Options Modeler enables manufacturers to generate and validate precise 3D representations
of product configurations defined by an individual bill of
materials (BOM).
Key benefits
•t Achieve faster design cycles by creating and validating
product modules in 3D early in the design phase
•t Reduce process errors and engineering rework by directly
reusing available 3D models from Creo, as well as BOM
and business logic for product configurations from Windchill
•t Automate the creation of any product by defining common
architecture and product modules and help manage how
they interface and assemble
•t Optimize products earlier by automating manually
intensive, error-prone tasks
•t Communicate precisely by sharing product designs
earlier and receiving feedback from other internal teams,
suppliers and customers
The combination of Creo Options Modeler with Creo
Parametric enables designers to validate the resulting product
by checking properties such as the precise mass and center of
gravity – and even checking and resolving critical areas such
as interference.
As a member of the Creo product family, Creo Options
Modeler seamlessly leverages and shares data between
other Creo apps and with other people involved in the design
process and beyond, further increasing detailed design and
downstream process productivity.
Couple allowable product options, parts structure, and 3D models.
