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

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

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

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

Inconvénients

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

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

No pros. It has too many bugs and should not be considered for professional use.

Inconvénients

Terrible functionally that compares poorly to other CAD packages. Windchill data management also is flawed and makes no sense and heavily prone to data lose due to system crashes. No simple functions such as repeat last command or undo.

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

Modeling, assembly, sheet metal and drawings modules are my favorite

Inconvénients

Error message are cryptic but you get used to them

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

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

It is incredibly robust and only allows you to design parts properly and very rarely allows failures. This requires a specific workflow but once learned, will mean parts are easier to update going forward without things breaking.

Inconvénients

The restrictive nature of the CAD package and some quirks with its part and body modelling can make it unintuitive and confusing.

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

This is an user friendly software makes users to model components easily. Developing 3D models from 2D design is effective in this software. We can model the components with accurate dimensions and can produce in time to the customers.

Inconvénients

Modifications cannot be performed in the middle of the process. This doesn't work on low end systems it requires more space to work. The generated file size is more. Understanding the software is little difficult compared to others like fusion.

Avantages

Modeling tool helps in engineering the product complexity, very strong tool for automotive companies who deals with complex parts such as powertrain and engines dad needs a lot of parts & assembly.
Has advanced features for real time design feedback and helps in improving efficiency with topology optimization.
The Sketcher to helps in creating the 2D drawings and industrial drawings that captures the concept level model and can be converted into an actual engineering drawings with the same software.
PTC company involved in the digital twin capabilities that integrates the models that can be repurposed for the digital twin and also for the argument reality.
simulation tool that are available wait in the creo helps to validate D models trends and product features at the design stage

Inconvénients

Creo is expensive compared to Solidworks or Solidedge.
Complex features make it less user friendly, example layer are hassle and need to leatn how to use the system files.
Automation has limitation as it follows less programing /API integartions

Avantages

Robust and Advanced Modelling Features including Surface Modeling capability which are capable of easy to very complex geometry.
Family Table, Simplified Representations and Flexible Components.
Skeleton for a top-down modelling approach
Mechanism and Rendering.
Plethora of Config options to suit many customer needs.

Inconvénients

Learning Curve is still on the higher side than other rivals such as SolidWorks which has a very fast and shot learning curve.
For Creo, Help is not yet so much intuitive as SolidWorks has unless you go for PTC University portal.
In Drawing, still, some of the things are not up to the mark as compared to rivals.

Avantages

Command control panel with command name is easy to access.

Inconvénients

Sometime fatal error can make you angry.

Avantages

I like that it is high quality, professional, and has a large variety of tools needed to create 3D prototypes. It is often used in the CAD industry so it is great exposure for our students. It worked really well with our 3D printers and printed out great, high-quality prototypes. Our students enjoyed using it.

Inconvénients

One con is that it is not compatible with MAC computers, must have a PC. It must be downloaded and has licenses that need to be purchased whereas TinkerCAD is free online and does not need to be downloaded onto the computer.

In addition, if you want younger students or beginners to use this, a lot of accommodations and simplifications need to be made. We had to spend a long time customizing the toolbar to be more accessible and kid-friendly. We had to do a lot more instruction to help students be successful.

There are also no built-in trainings or tutorials that are student-friendly like TinkerCAD.

Avantages

With the last updates Creo looks like it is doing things properly again, great 2D, great 3D, great miscellaneous tools.

Inconvénients

The learning curve is a bit steep like in all parametric softwares, but once you grasp it it is VERY powerful.

Alternatives envisagées 

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

I used Creo in the university to complete my graduation project and still use this software sometimes. The software is powerful with many helpful features. Also, it is one of the easiest tools that you can use to complete any ordered job easily in a short time.

Inconvénients

I think Creo is a professional tool compared with other tools like Solidworks, the analysis and rendering in Creo are somehow weak. The UI is not that great and from the first time, you need time to understand.

Avantages

The Parametric Nature of the Software and the Design Intent is superb
Excellent for Solid Modelling ( drafting , part modelling, Assembly module, Detailing, Sheetmetal)

Inconvénients

Frequent updated versions which come yearly is not so good as the individual using this software has to update the license every year which is Costly

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.
