The parametric modeling approach uses parameters, dimensions, features, and relationships to capture intended model behavior. Pro/Engineer was the industry's first rule-based constraint (sometimes called 'parametric' or 'variational') 3D CAD modeling system. Ĭreo Elements (formerly Pro/Engineer), PTC's parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution, is used by manufacturers for mechanical engineering, design and manufacturing. The software still cannot accommodate spaces in file names, even after more than 30 years of development. It was created by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC) and was the first of its kind to market. The ex-CoCreate CAD Products are now owned by PTC and offered as 'Creo Elements/Direct Drafting' and Creo Elements/Direct Modling'.Ĭreo Parametric is an application of a suite of 10 that provide collaborative solid modeling, assembly modeling, 2D orthographic views, finite element analysis, parametric modeling, sub-divisional and NURBS surface modeling, Drafting, and NC and tooling functionality for mechanical designers.Ĭreo Elements/ Pro compete directly with CATIA, SolidWorks, NX/ Solid Edge, Inventor/ Fusion 360, IRONCAD, and Onshape. Creo Parametric, formerly known, together with Creo Elements/Pro, as Pro/Engineer and Wildfire, is a solid modeling or CAD, CAM, CAE, and associative 3D modeling application, running on Microsoft Windows.Ĭreo Parametric should not to be confused with Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, which was CoCreate ME10 (2D) and or ME30 (3D) CAD Products.
