Overview
PTC Creo Interactive Surface Design Extension II combines industry-leading free-form surfacing tools within the modeling environment of PTC. Designers and engineers can create conceptual designs and free-form surfaces while having the ability to model the specific engineered components essential in every successful product. This way they can not only utilize the power of free-form surfacing, but also to leverage rich functionality – such as behavioral modeling, drafting, simulation, and manufacturing – from within a single application, making PTC Creo the ultimate solution for product. |
Key Benefits![]()
- Build free-form geometry at any point in the design, using as many or as few constraints as desired, for maximum design flexibility
- Focus on adding value to your design, not on transferring and interpreting data
- Easy to learn and use to quickly define curves and surfaces, resulting in a faster ROI
- Full associativity allows surfaces and curves to instantly adapt to design changes, reducing product development time
Capabilities and Specifications
Curve creation
- Reuse curves from PTC Creo Sketch in Style
- Create 3D curves by specifying interpolation or control points in one or more views
- Set up references dynamically by snapping to any object
- Create planar curves referencing a plane or radial to another curve
- Create curves directly on surfaces (COS), or projected
- Create style curve copies of imported or native curves/edges
- Create isoline curves
- Offset COS
Curve edit
- Full control over the degree of the curve
- Move control points dynamically or numerically
- Edit multiple curves simultaneously
- View original curve while editing
- Interactively delete or change references to any object
- Modify tangent constraints dynamically or numerically
- Connect curves and surfaces with positional, tangent, draft and curvature continuity
- Add interpolation or control points interactively
- Delete individual points or curve segments
- Combine and split curves
- View dynamic curve and surface analysis
- Change curve types between Free, Planar or COS
- Unlink curves and individual points from references
- Accurately adjust and fine-tune curves
- Partially constrain curves
Surface creation
- Easily create surfaces with support for n-sided surfaces and re-parameterization of surfaces
- Degree of surface defined by degree of curves
- Regenerate surfaces in real-time
- Make automatic surface connections
- Reshape surfaces by editing the defining curves
- Add or remove multiple internal curves
- Replace boundary curves/edges to redefine surface shape
- Change surface types between boundary, loft, and blend while maintaining all references
- Trim surfaces
Surface edit
- Full control over the degree and multiplicity of the surface
- Manipulate surfaces faster with direct surface editing
- Edit and control the surface math with multi resolution control point editing
Connections
View surface connections interactively to define the following:
- G0 Positional
- G1 Tangent
- G2 Curvature continuous
- Establish leader/follower relationships (G1 or G2)
Modeling environment
- Work within a four-view window
- Reference defining geometry such as points, planes, axes, curves, surfaces, and solids
- Create reference geometry asynchronously while modeling
- Work directly off imported geometry or facet data
- Drive model changes through parametric modifications
- Benefits from downstream use of additional geometry creation, engineering, simulation, optimization and manufacturing
