Analyze Dynamic Forces with a Powerful Prototyping Solution

PTC Creo Mechanism Dynamics Option (MDO) allows you to virtually
simulate real-world forces and analyze how your product will react
to them, Analyze Dynamic Forces with a Powerful Prototyping
Solution without building costly physical prototypes. Gaining insight
into product behavior early in the design phase allows you to build
better products, while saving you time and money.
Simulate real-world forces
With PTC Creo MDO, you can determine, on a desktop
–, how your design will react to dynamic forces such
as gravity and friction. Since you can conduct this
analysis without having to build a physical prototype,
you can perform your tests very early in the design
phase when correcting problems is much less costly.
Also, when building a physical prototype it’s likely to
be of much higher quality as you’ve already completed
a series of vigorous tests, virtually. By building fewer
physical prototypes, you not only cut costs, but you
also reduce time-to-market because you’re building a
better quality product that is ‘right the first time.’

Design and analyze concurrently
PTC Creo MDO takes advantage of the integrated
toolset of PTC Creo. This means there are no errors
in data translation from one application to another.
Additionally, engineers working with PTC Creo MDO
are already familiar with the graphical user interface,
as it is the same one used to design the product in
PTC Creo. Furthermore, since PTC Creo MDO already
leverages the same model data as PTC Creo, you
won’t waste time translating data for analysis. After
implementing engineering changes, you simply rerun
the analysis, generating a higher quality model, faster.

PTC Creo MDO simulates real-world forces, reducing the
number of physical prototypes and shortening the design cycle.

Key benefits
•t Eliminate time, effort, and money spent on data
translation and associated errors by using fully
integrated design and analysis tools
•t Reduce development costs by creating virtual
prototypes for desktop testing
•t Incorporate changes into the products faster
and earlier, and get immediate results from
desktop testing
•t Deliver higher quality products to market first by
reducing development time
