PTC Creo Mechanism Dynamics Extension - Subscription

PTC Creo Mechanism Dynamics Extension allows you to virtually simulate real-world forces and analyze how your product will react to them. Analyze Dynamic Forces with a Powerful Prototyping Solution without building costly physical prototypes. Gaining insight into product behavior early in the design phase allows you to build better products, while saving you time and money.

Simulate real-world forces

With PTC Creo Mechanism Dynamics Extension, you can determine, on a desktop, how your design will react to dynamic forces such as gravity and friction. You can perform your tests virtually very early in the design phase when correcting problems is much less costly. By building fewer physical prototypes, you not only cut costs, but you also reduce time-to-market because you're building a better quality product that is 'right the first time.'

Design and analyze concurrently

PTC Creo Mechanism Dynamics Extension takes advantage of the integrated toolset of PTC. This means there are no errors in data translation from one application to another.

The graphical user interface is the same one used to design the product in PTC Creo. Furthermore, the model data is the same as PTC Creo, with no waste of time to translate data for analysis. After implementing engineering changes, you simply rerun the analysis, generating a higher quality model, faster.

Key benefits

• Eliminate time, effort, and money spent on data translation
• Reduce development costs by creating virtual prototypes for desktop testing
• Work with real-world usage data through Creo Product insight
• Incorporate changes into the products faster and earlier, and get results right away from desktop testing
• Deliver higher quality products to market first by reducing development time
• Reduce warranty costs by generating a better estimate of your product's life
• Eliminate costly manufacturing errors with specific, animated production instructions
• Create more innovative products by using the time-savings gained from virtual testing
• Work within an easy-to-learn, highly intuitive user interface
