PTC Creo Advanced Simulation Extension

®

PTC Creo Advanced Simulation Extension expands the capabilities

of PTC Creo Simulate and allows the study of how advanced,
nonlinear effects should influence the product design.

PTC Creo Simulate and PTC Creo Advanced Simula- • Dynamic Structural Analysis
tion Extension have the same user interface, workflow
-- Time Response
and productivity tools that are standard throughout
the PTC Creo family. The combination of PTC Creo -- Frequency Response
Simulate and PTC Creo Advanced Simulation Exten-
sion can be used as a standalone application or as an -- Random Response
extension of PTC Creo Parametric.
-- Response Spectrum

Features and Specifications • Pre-stress Structural Static Analysis

• Pre-stress Structural Modal Analysis

Includes all the features of PTC Creo Simulate, plus
the following: • Nonlinear Steady State Thermal Analysis

Analysis Capabilities -- Temperature Dependent Convections

• Nonlinear Static Structural Analysis -- Gray Body Radiation

-- Large Displacements and Strains -- Temperature dependent Material Properties

-- Sliding Contact -- Boundary Conditions applied sequentially

-- Hyper-elastic Materials • Transient Thermal Analysis

-- Elasto-plastic Materials

-- Nonlinear Springs

-- Boundary Conditions applied sequentially

-- Snap-through

The software gives you the power to perform dynamic frequency

response analyses.
