Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Reviews

It's direct nodellingfeatures which gives user advantage of designing any product on very shorter time period considering overall design cycle; by which any designer can effectively save time by designing on it.

Any designer has do design as per manufacturing compatibility of the product but creo elements let desiner make geometries rather than making it by extraction/extruded and feature command, by this at times product may face issues as far as DFM is considered.

As a designer when I start modelling of the product in creo elements it's gives me interface and command to build my geometry directly as I am imaganing it rather than thinking of completing it by features.

The creo elements is best solid modelling software for designing parts and assemblies in 2d and 3d. The design can be done with high precision. The part or assembly design can be analysed for thermal, stress and fatigue capabilities is the best feature to avoid failures.

No issues are faced during our use. Everything works properly.

Creo elements helps us to create the design of our parts and to perform analysis of parts and assemblies. Editings to the previous designs can be done easily helps to improve the business performance.

.Included data analytics and animation software allow you to analyze the real-world physics and impact of your modeled object

In-depth and detailed interface

High quality surfacing and radii creation softwares

Flexible, easy to use layering capabilities

It has a lot of functionality. It can quickly make an engineering drawing, to a given specifications.

Not many people outside of the Engineering world use it.

Find good sources of information, and apply Creo and other Creo product to meet the need.

Building models that may be used in various safety regimes and equipment.

Is has best solid and surface modeling tools

Too many option to choose to perform simple task.

simply its modeling tools and work on interface

Automotive tool development, special purpose machine design

I found it a bit more powerful than Solidworks, which was the first software I learned

It was much harder to pane the object than in Solidworks. Having the double-tap space bar for view options I really liked in solidworks

Look around at other CAD softwares and try and implement the common short cuts into Creo. If one software can make the transition between the common ones (solidworks, inventor, ect) easier, than it very well might become the industry standard, as everyone learns something different in college.

It is mainly used for designs before building test fixtures.

Very robust and powerful 3D Direct Modeling software. Great capabilities, made even better with the use of add-on software. Even though PTC isn't adding many new features to this product line, add-on products from companies like AI MAXTools bring great new functionality, including to older versions.

PTC isn't supporting it as much now as they used to, and isn't adding many new features. However, this shortcoming can be mitigated by using some of the great add-on products from companies like AI MAXTools.

3D Modeling of parts and assemblies, including getting them ready for manufacture.

Best thing is that its free. Its very much versatile for quick concept designs and also its free to download.

Visual and graphics is more than what is required for concept developers and to run a prototype production run.We can create and modify design data in real-time. Highly interactive features which is very beneficials for amature designers such as direct cut-and paste, push-and-pull and drag-and-drop techniques

Nothing as of now. It is good for beginners and who are working on developing concepts. cannot be used for full time.

PTC Creo allows users to CAD nearly anything that comes to mind. Any basic tool shapes are very easy to create once there is a clear understanding of the different actions and commands available within the PTC Creo menus. I have been using Creo for the past couple of years to CAD everything from varying nanoparticle shapes to basic parts for the construction of a motor. Very user friendly and an incredibly useful tool all in all.

The learning curve can get difficult. It definitely took me some time to get used to the product itself. I initially took a class to learn the basics of it and that made it easier for me to get accustomed to the product. With this knowledge and some time I spent on my own I was able to learn all the knowledge that allows me to create what I can but without it I can understand users having a difficult time adjusting. Also to sculpt and make more out of the box shapes there is additional understanding of surface modeling to pick up which can be quite difficult without some guidance.

Currently I am working on being able to nanomanufacture gold particles using varying DNA solutions and this program has allowed me to create even the most complex shapes and ideas on the computer and put them through different simulations. Thanks to PTC being able to export to basically any format I am able to use it easily alongside my other simulation products.

It has a very simple user friendly UI easy to understand and use. Its direct editing and interchangeability to work on models created in different tools is a one of the best highlight.

It needs more development to make process faster. Third party format change takes a long time. Also need more advance feature to use to create models quickly.

Its a very user friendly and industrial friendly CAD tool. I highly recommend this tool for the users who mostly use models from different platforms or work with multiple vendors using different CAD tools. Also this tool is very useful when you required quick editing, quick modeling for prototypes.

Because its simplicity we can use this tool to create quick models for rapid prototyping. It gives us more flexibility to work with our vendors quickly and upto the mark.
