Creo for Design Engineers

Overview
In this course, you will learn how to utilize the core functionality
enhancements in Creo Parametric 2.0. First, you will become
familiar with using and customizing the new ribbon interface in Creo
Parametric. The new measure and sectioning interfaces will also be
examined. Next, you will become familiar with the Sketcher
workflow and reference enhancements. Part modeling
enhancements to features such as Extrude, Corner Chamfer,
Sweeps, Blends, and Datum Curves will then be examined. You will
also learn about new and enhanced Assembly capabilities, such as
selecting multiple components and enhancements for dragging
components.
The Advanced Modeling using Creo Parametric 2.0 teaches you
how to use advanced part modeling techniques to improve your
product designs. In this course, you will learn how to create and
modify design models using advanced sketching techniques and
feature creation tools. You will also learn how to reuse existing
design geometry when creating new design models. After
completing this course, you will be well prepared to work efficiently
with complex product designs using Creo Parametric 2.0.
In this, you will learn how to use flexible modeling tools to edit
existing geometry on parametric models. The flexible modeling
process typically involves initially selecting model surfaces, then
refining the selected surface set using smart selection tools, and
finally modifying the selected geometry by applying transformation
tools, patterning tools, or symmetry tools. Each stage of the
process is described in detail and supported by step-by-step
exercises.
In this, you will learn how to use Creo Parametric 2.0 to create and
manage complex assemblies. You will learn how to use advanced
assembly tools that enable you to add and maintain designs,
increase your efficiency, and increase system performance when
working with large assemblies. In addition, you will learn the basics
of using and creating predefined assembly structures and
skeletons, which are both valuable tools typically used in a topdown design process. The course also includes an assembly
design project that enables you to practice your new skills by
performing various design tasks in an assembly model.
Sheetmetal Design using Creo Parametric 2.0 is a comprehensive
teaches you how to create sheetmetal parts in Creo Parametric.
The course builds upon the basic lessons you learned in
Introduction to Creo Parametric 2.0 and serves as the second stage
of learning. In this course, you will learn how to design sheetmetal
parts. All the functions needed to create sheetmetal parts are
covered. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to create
sheetmetal design models, create the flat state of the model.
Detailed drawings teaches you how to quickly create detailed
drawings using information captured within 3-D design models. In
this course, you will learn how to create drawings, how to detail
drawings, and how to take advantage of the parametric and
associative nature of Creo Parametric 2.0 when configuring
drawings. After completing this course, you will be able to create
production drawings suitable for manufacturing.
