What differentiates Creo from other similar products?
Creo 7 is a robust design environment that is very useful in engineering. It has pre-programmed functions that contribute to the work of the different engineering disciplines. You can also develop code and run it for graphics and simulations. It is extremely good at 2D and 3D model development where one can use it to identify poles and zero locations. It can solve complex automation processes such as neural networks, mechanical control, and image processing with just a few lines of code.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It has an intuitive interface. It has excellent simulation tools and generative design. It has features that help reduce setup and machining time. It allows a mesh and deflection control, which facilitate and improve the simulation. It allows printing of both the program created, the calculation made, the 2D and 3D graphics, the results table. It makes it possible to export and import images, graphics, tables, among others. It has a wide range of linear algebra functions, specialized automation functions.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The cost of the license is considerably high, especially with the existence of excellent alternatives with similar characteristics.
