Multibody Design Is Introduced
The Creo design environment supports concepts for multibody part design.
Release: Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The Creo design environment supports multibody part design concepts. This improves design productivity, flexibility, and usability. Examples of where you can use multibody for the flexible and efficient design of parts follows:
Handling of distinct geometric volumes, partial operations, and improved usability
Using bodies representing subtractive geometry
Using Boolean and split operations with bodies acting as a design tool
Flexible Modeling capabilities on geometric bodies
Additive manufacturing
Generative Design
Simulation
Injection molded, multimaterial parts
Master model methodology with multibody concepts
In-context design in Sheetmetal
Data exchange workflows
Separate topics for each of the above, along with videos, are included in subsequent what’s new topics.
Additional Information
Find additional information about multibody models, including configuration options and some limitations, in Part Modeling and other sections of the Help.
Tips:
For multibody design in Creo, it is strongly recommended to use absolute accuracy as the setting for Creo models.
It is recommended to adopt the new set of parameters introduced in Creo 7.0 to use in and to report on mass property and material assignment.
Does this replace existing functionality?
No.
