CREO SIMULATE
Creo Simulate gives designers and engineers the power to analyze and understand structural and thermal product performances early in the design process
GAIN EARLY PRODUCT INSIGHT
Creo Simulate is an extension of Creo Parametric that provides a comprehensive set of finite element analysis capabilities to conduct structural, thermal and vibration analysis of 3D CAD models. It enables 3D virtual prototyping so you can test a range of structural and thermal properties of your design early in the detailed design process, before you make the first physical part. Engineers and designers gain early product insight, improved verification and validation processes, and higher quality products at a lower cost.
SIMULATE REAL-WORLD STRESSES ON YOUR PRODUCT
Obtain Real-World Performance
by directly applying conditions to design geometry without requiring data translation
Increase Innovation
by simultaneously designing and simulating results of design variations
Fast, Automatic Solution Convergence
mapped precisely to underlying CAD geometry; 3rd party solver output
Decrease Development Costs
through reduction or even elimination of physical prototyping and productive, engineering-friendly user interface
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Costly and laborious physical prototyping hinders a design team, resulting in compromised schedules and budgets. With Creo Simulate, designers and engineers can better understand product performance, and accommodate the digital design accordingly – all without needing a specialist’s FEA-background.

NASA
Tasked with designing rocket launch test stands for NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, discover how Merrick leveraged powerful PTC Creo Simulate engineering technology along with EAC’s partnership solutions to engineer NASA’s Liquid Hydrogen Tank and Liquid Oxygen Tank.
In this video you will see how Merrick’s engineers created solutions for NASA as they developed and tested concepts that required the ability to withstand certain forces. It was developed to support large tanks while withstanding significant forces from the push and pull of millions of pounds of load against the test stands and the test stand articles.
It’s unbelievable to see. Simple, instantaneous, with multiple design iterations done in seconds, where it could take weeks doing that previously. And, such an easy user interface. Everything gets applied easily and starts spitting out the results in real-time, right there in the Creo model.

Creo Simulation is a structural, thermal, and vibration analysis solution. It provides comprehensive capabilities to analyze and validate the performance of 3D virtual prototypes (CAD Models).
No, it does not require users to be an expert in analysis. PTC Creo Simulate gives engineers user-friendly analysis tools to make quality decisions early in the design process.
Creo Simulation Live (CSL) yields instantaneous results enabling design engineers to iterate the model and make decisions with fewer interruptions. Although CSL covers most use cases, Creo Simulate offers a broader range of possibilities. Creo Simulate has a classic simulation workflow consisting of setting boundary conditions, meshing, solver computing, and exploring and tracking results.
The traditional iterative method begins with a model, then testing, then requires refining the model multiple times over. With simulation, engineers can explore different iterations and understand product performance earlier in the design process. Simulation-led design integrated with ANSYS software considerably shortens the time from concept to completion.
