Expanded cable harness design capabilities improve design processes for electrification initiatives.

PTC has released the latest version of its Creo CAD solution. Creo 12 includes updates across design, simulation, and manufacturing features, aimed at improving productivity and collaboration for engineering teams.
- Improved usability and productivity: Creo 12 includes user-requested features such as feature presets, assemblies based on multi-body parts, and updates to sheet metal design and the advanced surfacing module.
- Advanced composites design and manufacturing: New and improved tools help accelerate composites development without compromising quality, enabling market-leading precision and performance in designing and producing composite structures.
- Enhanced AI-driven generative design: Thermal physics have now been added to award-winning AI-driven generative design capabilities in Creo. Automatic contact creation in Ansys real-time simulation allows teams to iterate and optimize designs even faster.
- Design for electrification: Creo 12 brings Creo’s strength in assembly design to cable harnesses, simplifying collaboration and reducing the complexity of harness assemblies.
Creo 12 also introduces new links between Creo models and engineering material data in PTC’s Windchill product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. This supports sustainability initiatives by enabling better visibility into material choices and their associated environmental impacts, including carbon footprint.
The latest version of Creo+, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) version of Creo that offers cloud-enabled collaboration and entitlement tools, is also now available.
