Creo Model-Based Definition: MBD in Creo
Model-based definition (MBD) is a newer approach to product development that integrates product information, such as annotations and dimensions, directly into 3D CAD Models. This makes it easier to communicate design intent, track changes, and reduce errors. […]
Using CAD Simulation Software to Revolutionize Product Development
Using simulation early and often in the design process provides significant time and cost savings for teams. Taking full advantage of simulation ensures design issues are uncovered and addressed before investments are made in costly physical prototypes—and solutions can be iterative to reach the best conclusion. Powering simulation-driven design in this way requires both […]
MBD CAD Models: How Model-Based Defined CAD Enables Digital Transformation
The rapid evolution of technology in product development and manufacturing demands a new approach to organizing and accessing data. In many cases, implementing this new strategy […]
Multi CAD PLM Integration: Managing Multiple CAD Systems in Your PLM
Companies today need modern tools to handle complex product development challenges and stay ahead of the competition. Many are forced to collaborate across a multi CAD environment to meet market, customer, and regulatory […]
An Introduction to Model-Based Product Development (MBPD)
Manufacturing organizations are always looking for new ways to optimize operations and cut costs. Ongoing technological advances and improved process methods are making this easier and easier. Unfortunately, manufacturing organizations can sometimes be slow to take on new approaches—and this inability to leverage new methods leaves companies eating the dust of their competitors.
Concurrent Engineering: 5 Concurrent Engineering Examples
In our previous blog posts, we reviewed what concurrent engineering is, why you need it, and how to implement it within your organization. Advanced concurrent engineering solutions, such as CAD and PLM, allow you to automatically […]
CAD CFD: What It Is and Why You Need It
Computer-aided design (CAD) computational fluid dynamics (CFD), also known as CAD CFD, provides product designers with insights to streamline product development through simulation. CAD CFD is required for every product engineer’s toolbox. By picking the right solution, you’ll have access to advanced features that optimize the iterating and prototyping processes. So, here’s everything you […]
What Is Finite Element Analysis (FEA)? FEA Definition, FEA Benefits, and FEA Use Cases
Finite element analysis (FEA) covers a variety of simulation and modeling techniques and can significantly improve product development by streamlining testing and design. Using FEA to test and optimize throughout the design process ultimately helps your team create better products faster. But the question remains: What is finite element analysis? […]
