Creo

Avantages

Facilité d'utilisation avec windchill en plm

Inconvénients

Peu développé par rapport à d'autres logiciels

Avantages

Le principal atout de creo par rapport à ses concurrents est la conception mécanique en surfacique. Il est possible de concevoir des pièces avec des formes complexes et c'est plutôt intuitif une fois que l'on a compris le mécanismeL'interface est agréable à utiliser, j'ai bien le système de fenêtre pour chaque pièce ou assemblage ce qui permet de naviguer facilement d'une conception à l'autre.Pas besoin d'avoir une grosse config pc pour faire tourner le logicielIl y a également une multitude de d'extensions qui peuvent être intéressante suivant les besoins (rendus, analyse, fabrication, réalité augmentée etc)

Inconvénients

Il est très complexe à prendre en main, le logiciel est puissant mais il faut beaucoup de temps avant de pouvoir parfaitement le maitriserC'est compliqué de s'y retrouver il faut paramétrer beaucoup de choses pour pouvoir travailler dans de bonnes conditionsLe système d'enregistrement des fichiers n'est pas optimisé

Avantages

The best thing about Creo Parametric is that it provides rich set of features with the complete depth for all of the modules like Sheet Metal, Part Modelling, Assembly, etc.

Inconvénients

Because of having a rich variety of features, it becomes difficult for a new user to learn it easily as compared to other CAD tools like SolidWorks.

Avantages

The thing I liked most about this software was the ease of use. Unlike other CAD software the user interface is very straight forward and doesn't require the user to have used the products for years to be able to use. The free form capabilities allow for entry level CAD designers to realize whatever design comes to mind

Inconvénients

The Cons was the lack of post production outputs. The graphics for instance is not as crisp as other premium CAD packages. The Software is less cross platform friendly than the other packages I have used.

Avantages

Great capabilities with modeling, tool design, mill pathing, etc

Inconvénients

UI is not intuitive, steep learning curve compared to Solidworks or equivalent.

Avantages

Part family option is very good to use and reduce tonnes of time for each engineer.

Inconvénients

For sheet metal is not good much ,So very hard to use.

Avantages

I use this software daily in my job. You have to do trainings to know what great functions this software has. Also, if you know all config options and mapkeys, you can work very quick and comfortable.

Inconvénients

Price is not really cheap, but OK for a company. Also the configuration is not that easy, but if it's done once, you will have much fun.

Pourquoi passer à Creo

Avantages

CATIA provides a lot of possibilities for 3D designing and assemblies management using toolbar. I believe it is the best software for modelling allow to easily navigate and manage the model(s).

Inconvénients

For new users it may be quite challenging to start using CATIA with all toolbars. Additionally the software is quite expensive.

Avantages

UDF-User Defined FeatureFamily TableShrinkwrapIt's very easy to useWe have integrated TEAMCENTER no issue regarding plm.

Inconvénients

We are having all mfg. Facility in-house at that point we use to create different models with help of family table.it makes our life easy.Image inserting in model,as in our machinary design we have to add causion/warning sign.We have Teamcenter/PLM integrated and works fine.

Avantages

Creo is one of the best known CAD softwares, used by a lot of OEM, it offers a wide range of features for modeling 3D parts, for people with knowledge in this software it got a simple interface

Inconvénients

For someone starting on 3D modeling they will need some training to have a proper feeling on what the software can do, sometimes the software crashes and we lose hours of work.

Avantages

Creo allows me to view not only assemblies as a whole but also parts as sections of assemblies in 3D. I like the fact that it allows me to separate components into their smallest entities to understand what I need to facilitate my lifecycle management. It’s easy to import into and export out of.

Inconvénients

Creo can be a bit daunting for beginners due to its robust features. It’s also a bit expensive when it comes to licensing fee but many would argue it’s worth the money.

Avantages

Parametric modeling allows users to change the design on the fly and eliminates the need to start from scratch. Learning is also easy and fun.

Inconvénients

2D capabilities are less when compared to competition. CAM features can be improved.

Avantages

Creo is a fantastic resources for completing complex designs efficiently and accurately. The machine design features make getting work done easy.

Inconvénients

It is not the most user friendly when you first get started with the tool. Once you pick up on the picks and clicks, it is very easy to expand your knowledge and use the tool to its fullest potential.

Avantages

The feature that makes me do analysis of my project is the feature that I like most in Creo.

Inconvénients

I don't feel there's any feature missing or any that needs a fix for now, everything is working perfectly for me.

Avantages

Creo software is a user-friendly software.In this software we make 2D diagrams and convert them to 3D models with advanced modelling features. This software makes users deliver projects in time and model components with accurate dimensions.

Inconvénients

Modification of models in the process of modelling is not possible in this software. Edit sketchs is not available. Some errors are sometimes difficult to resolve. It requires large and high speed internet to work with Creo.

Avantages

Creo has wide and variable usage in the industry in terms of product development and prototyping. It has all the advanced tools for component design with helpful features to understand the complex design tree. Easy to draft with the annotations which are readily available. Storage in the server makes the design backup automatically at the end of the day/week.

Inconvénients

The UI is not so great and has complex menus. Duplication of tools can be placed in menu bars and ribbons which can lead to confusion to use the tools. It is also expensive for individual licenses which are quite uncomfortable to afford. Requires individual licenses for analysis, modeling, and simulations. May take hours to open higher structural files to view and edit.

Avantages

Very easy to use, Direct modeling not being parametric makes is super easy to get into it and start modeling straight after getting the software even without knowing parametric modeling. I find it great for whoever has a 3D printer and needs to quickly draw parts without the issues of handle parameters and constraints. So, quickness is another great advantage. Finally, it is available also for free with few limitations on groups of parts, making it very suitable also for amateurs

Inconvénients

Of course a big pro can be also a big con, speaking about the lack of parameters, but depending on how someone intends to model an objects, they should know beforehand if this way is the most suitable

Avantages

Creo is very easy to use, by little practice anyone can work on it . It provides you feature like drafting, modeling , sheet metal designing, assembly and so on......

Inconvénients

Would be best if its accuracy improve and more automation added..

Avantages

The main advantages are:
1. It's easy to work with.
2. There a lot of options for our views to accomplish
3. A complete product can be build assembled and put to test in the software itself before making the prototype with the appropriate factors given as input.
4. It's been used by a lot of companies like KTM Duke was entirely built in this software so learning this software helps you out in different ways
5. Even some extent of analysis can be done also in the software itself
6. It's a powerful software well built with less bugs and hence I grand never come across crashing of this software no matter how much inputs use give.
7. For professionals it's a best choice.

Inconvénients

The main disadvantages are:
1. It doesn't work on low end systems it becomes slow as it requires minimum 4gb graphics for the program to run smoothly without much load.
2. It's tough to learn you might need a proper guidance to learn it and once you learn it, then you would rule it.
3. It's a bit costly but if you running a company then it's good but not good to buy for personnel use
4. Surely not meant for beginners it's a software that's a high performance one and so it's tough
5. Sometimes the options would get you confused as you work on because there's that much options present.
6. Try to keep in touch atleast once in a month with the software or you might end in forgetting hope to use this software or make sure that you got a book written how to use this software on your own.

Avantages

I use CREO in order to design a parts at my university project. The features which are available in CREO are pretty good and simple to use. The coordinates can be easily defined in respective axis in creo. The extrude command is like a top of all when we need to work over 3D from a 2D plan. There are major features which are somehow similar to the other designing software. But the only thing which makes Creo a universal software is the file saving and its variety of format availability. As there are number of formats were available thus the creo file can be easily open in x number of Software for e.g in any simulation software like Ansys, Simulink or in other design softwares like solid works, Autocad etc. Naming and boundaries orientations were some classic features of CREO.

Inconvénients

I can justify some cons with respect to other design softwares. I have use many of the softwares but there is an lack of functionality, I found in creo on comparison with others for e.g one is simulation or animation functionality which is not that much as compare to competitors. A meshing view is highly demanded in the new versions of creo.

Avantages

There are some minor features that are convenient that other softwares should adopt - such as copy text formatting by selecting the text you want to copy the format of.

Inconvénients

I've been using some form of Creo in multiple Jobs for 10+ years, and the only thing that it is able to do consistently is confuse and annoy me. Oh, you didn't know that you had to push that super secret button to get that feature to show? too bad. Sometimes i think it would be easier to create drawings by taking screenshots from creo with the snipping tool and pasting them into powerpoint.
every single time it tries to assume something for you, it does it wrong. Why would I ever assemble objects by selecting surfaces that are NORMAL to each-other?!

Avantages

User interface and functionality. Mapkey creation. Work flow. Options and creation withing each functional component like fillets - options can be found easily.

Inconvénients

Price. I know they need to make money and they are one of the top tiers for the CAD sector. I would like to user for hobbies etc - but I can't because it's too expensive for a toy.

Avantages

Creo is a software owned by PTC company. The best part of this tool is that the complex geometries can be made easily and on top of it the sketching part is possible. The surfacing capability of this tool is also very robust and efficient.

Inconvénients

If you are a beginner and starting your hands with Creo platform then it may be little difficult in the beginning to understand the tool. The user-interface is not as easy it has to be basically.

Avantages

Good for handling large models and maintaining them
Its parametric so 3D models and 2d drawings are associated , you can change either to make modification
Sketching, detailing is friendly including propping

Inconvénients

Creo sometime gives fatal error which completely shuts the software down and have to restart that is annoying
Cabling module is not that user friendly so can be cumbersome
Sweep / swept blend sometime fails which is fine but more accurate error messages can help
Extend to next feature was there in earlier version which was good but its not anymore in newer versions

Avantages

Extensive functionality, a user-friendly learning curve, and a simple design make creo a great choice for anyone looking to explore CAD more. I appreciate that I don't have to buy any expensive equipment in order to be able to simply view these files (other programs I use require that you buy special mouses in order to properly view the files, but Creo can be used entirely with a standard keyboard mouse.

Inconvénients

I'm not sure if it's just me, but for some reason, my wire drawings sometimes make the program crash and this can be very distracting / infuriating. Still, it has only happened on rare occasions and I'd like to chalk it up to my work-space being old.
