Optimize your Designs with Ease

Wouldn’t it be great if your computer-aided design software
automatically determined the best design for you? Think of the time
and effort you’d save.
That’s exactly what PTC Creo Behavioral Modeling
Extension (BMX) does for you by delivering three key
capabilities: design studies, smart models, and an
open environment that uses calculated results from
external programs.
When you have multiple design objectives to consider,
such as how to maintain product strength while
reducing material wall thickness, it can be very
tedious and time-consuming to manually calculate the
optimum values. Even then you can’t be sure that you
have the optimum design because it simply takes too
much time to calculate all of the various possibilities
that might work. PTC Creo BMX automates this
process for you using design studies. To conduct a
design study, you simply define your engineering
goals, then define where your design is flexible and
PTC Creo BMX automatically analyzes countless
iterations before arriving at the best solution. PTC
PTC Creo BMX raises the level of design automation
from simple geometry creation to a fully engineered
solution. All you need to do is pick the best design and
move on to your next task.
PTC Creo BMX can also optimize specific features
within a design by creating “smart models.” Smart
models capture design and process information so
that the model has the built-in intelligence to actually
understand its function. PTC Creo BMX captures
this knowledge as a feature, which is automatically
evaluated against the requirements as the design
evolves. This automation will increase your level of
confidence that the design will function as intended

the first time. It also means that engineers can focus
their energy on developing the design rather than
continually checking engineering requirements.

The trial-and-error approach to find the desired cross-sectional
area along a curve can be extremely time-consuming, but with
PTC Creo BMX, it’s fast and easy.

PTC Creo BMX saves you time and effort in many ways.
For instance, very often you need to use complex
formulas to calculate design variables. Usually, these
calculations require third-party tools. Just imagine
if your design software automatically read the output
from those third-party programs and automatically
updated your design? Not only would this save you
time, but it would also eliminate the need to manually
input values, thereby reducing the risk of errors.
With PTC Creo BMX, this is more than possible – it’s
easy! Only PTC Creo BMX features an open, extensible
environment that enables organizations to integrate
diverse external tools into their design process.
