Live simulation with proven Ansys technology - directly in Creo
CREO SIMULATION – ANSYS TECHNOLOGY FOR PTC CREO USERS
The integration of Ansys technology in PTC Creo offers a wide range from live to high-end simulation in the familiar environment for Creo users. CADFEM simulation expertise ensures the best possible return on investment of the simulation throughout the entire development process. This is how the simulation that accompanies the design process becomes the design integrated simulation.

Creo Simulation Live and Creo Ansys Simulation in Practice
Using a tractor axle assembly, see the variation of different designs with Creo Simulation Live and the validation of strength with Creo ANSYS Simulation. Consistency within the Creo environment enables a load-balanced design and the assurance of functionality (in German).

Understanding physics – designing better
The newly published book "Physik begreifen - besser konstruieren" contains eight recipes for better designing, thanks to Physics-Driven-Design. These are not simply design rules.
The recipes are based on years of experience in the design office and on an explainable physics background. Why does it work better to make a design tension-dominant instead of bend-dominant? How do you best distribute the stiffness in order to obtain an optimal flow of forces? What happens at points where you redirect a flow and how can you control this with the least loss?
This book is a joint project of (calculation) experts from the engineering office, Brand Engineering GmbH and CADFEM.
Dipl.-Ing. Markus Bongert, FH Dortmund, FB MaschinenbauYour book presentation has encouraged us to use the software Discovery in the context of the lecture Fluid Mechanics, which is being redesigned. After all, we see the potential in it to make the physical basics comprehensible to the students in a clear and sustainable way.
