Creo Advanced Framework Extension (AFX) - Subscription

Creo Advanced Framework Extension (AFX) gives engineers and designers the power to create structural frameworks much faster using powerful, simple-to-use features that are tailored to specific framework design tasks.

An integral part of the Creo product family, Creo AFX provides designers and engineers with a means to dramatically improve the accuracy and productivity of defining structural framework assemblies. Because this module is native to Creo, you can quickly and easily share this intelligent 3D model throughout all phases of the project–design, detailing, analysis, fabrication, and final assembly. Now you can achieve faster structural framework definition and meet or beat even the most aggressive project deadlines.

Add Creo AFX to your cache of design tools and dramatically reduce the time to create accurate structures, frames, or assembly lines compared to 2D CAD and traditional 3D CAD solid modeling methods.

Key benefits

Unified, integral design environment

• Fully associative modeling ensures that design changes are reflected throughout the design process
• Single digital definition–incorporating all manufacturing information–eliminates management of additional files
• Eliminate time-consuming data translation between software applications

Simple

• Easy to learn and use
• Automates many tasks, significantly reducing design time
• 100% parametric definition speeds design of a wide variety of framework sections

Powerful

• Quickly define corner joints and nodes between virtually any section
• Eliminate costly changes due to fit up problems or rework
• Fully associative definition adapts instantly to any design change no matter how difficult
• Seamless integration with Creo Simulate™ for structural analysis
• Interface to other analysis systems via *.SDNF and *.DSTV
• Easily place screws and dowels with an interactive user interface

Convenient

• Comprehensive library of sections, connections, and joints, accelerates framework creation
• Extensive library of stairs, ladders, and safety cages accelerates design of access and walkways
• Choose from a wide variety of steel and aluminum profiles, angles, endplates, screws, and more
• Create a library of your own unique components

Productive

• Optimized user interface reflects the structural framework design process
• Reduce scrap by using appropriate connections, joints, and assembly methods
• Save on material costs through exact ‘as-built’ representation of the structural framework
• Incorporate manufacturing and fabrication data into the framework definition to speed assembly
• Precise 3D structural framework definition ensures fabrication of assembly is right the first time by detecting design and production problems before structures are built
