Assembly Performance in PTC Creo Parametric Versus Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0

The PTC Creo Parametric vs. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 blog series has covered cross sectioning, measuring geometry and sheet metal.

This week I will discuss the major enhancements to assemblies. These feature improvements are available in the base license of PTC Creo Parametric. There is no need to buy additional extensions or applications to take advantage of them.

1) Light Graphics Option
Through the usage of PTC Creo View technology, users are able to see a lightweight graphical representation of their assembly. This results in quicker retrieval, especially for larger assemblies. It also helps to improve system performance during design activities.

2)  Locating Selected Components
Users can locate selected components in the model tree simply with one right click of the mouse. In Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0, users would have to manually search the model tree.

3) Track Changes Capabilities
Users can quickly and easily find exactly what has been modified within their assemblies in the “View Changes” dialog box. Moving the mouse over a changed component in the model tree displays all the information. By selecting a component or feature, users can highlight it in the preview window.

4) New Constraint Types
Users will have more control with four new constraint type: one for surfaces (normal), and three for points and lines (distances, angle offset, and normal).

5)  Additional Improvements
Other improvements include the ability to drag components directly into a targeted assembly without using edit commands (which makes the workflow easier) and animating exploded and unexploded sequences.

The bottom line for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 users is that PTC Creo Parametric will save significant time and effort when working with assemblies (up to 30% according to a third-party benchmark). The improvements to assemblies are just one reason to make a move. Have a look at this head to head comparison video to see all the differences for yourself:
