Licenses for Topology Optimization
Basic and Advanced licenses are available for Creo Topology Optimization. An Advanced license is required to perform the following actions:
• Create new advanced entities.
• Copy, or edit the definition of, advanced entities.
• Run studies that contain advanced entities.
You can delete advanced entities with either license. If you have a Basic license, you might need to delete advanced entities from a model to run a study.
The table shows the differences between the Basic and Advanced license:
