I have been modelling in Standard AutoCAD since the beginning and even though it is limited in the applying dynamics to models its still my favourite. Great work for them, I must admit :) Now im a SolidWorks/SolidCAM user, all because of market :) you always must play with stronger player! HA! No way! Try in Creo with 5000? Peace of cake!), a lots of eLiterature, everyone could get them, better marketing.And thats a results of todays market and SolidWorks distribution.
SolidWorks conquer the market with cheaper product with los/mid complexity of a product (I must mensioned, try to load some assembly with more that 2000-3000 part in SolidWorks. All the literature was only available to buyers of the product, also the training course are very expensive, so that is a mistake, especially because of the competitiveness in the market. PTC have a bad politics with "hiding" a knowledge for Creo/ProE. I hate that.Ĭreo 2.0>Much expensive then>SolidWorksĬentanly, not all factor were taken into account, but lets sum all of this.
SolidWorks have a lot of bug, and almost every day he crash a lots of time. And I have to say, Creo is much faster in every aspects, they dont have a bug. Something is better in SolidWorks, something is better in Creo. In a first view they have the same capabilities. Everything is the same, same methods, same name for features, and so on. As I mentioned before I'm a Creo user with 8 years of experience, so the first thing I notice when I move into a SolidWorks is that is very easy to adapt into a new environments. This is my opinion, so don't hold it against me. I will tell you couple of things about this software. Now I am a SolidWorks user, because Im using SolidCAM, but I was 8 years PROE user, now Creo 2.0. Just my opinion after 20+ years in the CAD PLM business, happy to discuss, regards to all, Joe opinion is different then yours, but you are right partially. There are many videos on YouTube about this technology and in my opinion its was released 20 years ahead of its time. So what are the benefits, it’s mature stable technology, easy to learn and use, easy to make changes at any stage of the design process, treats imported data as native as it does not require a history tree, very good with large assemblies due to the small (none history based) file sizes, you can apply parametric and design intent if as and when required. Creo Elements / Direct is a pure direct modeller that has no history tree at all. A solution that has not yet been mentioned is Creo Elements / Direct, formerly known as CoCreate. This makes large assemblies difficult to handle.Īs a result of this most of the vendors are starting to introduce direct modelling and modification capabilities in order to address the issues mentioned above. The other inherent problem with these systems is that the size of the models and assemblies become very large files based on all the history that is stored in addition to the geometry.
The imported model becomes dumb and changes revert back to simple Boolean. It can also be difficult to work on 3rd party imported data because the history tree that is required to make changes can’t be transferred from system to system. It’s even worse if you are trying to modify historical data that was created by somebody else. Why is this? Well you can start to break the model tree by modifying features that have dependencies that you do not want to be effected. The flip side of this is that many models are created badly and the history tree quickly becomes a negative not a positive. History based 3D require a good level of training and if models are constructed well can be very powerful in terms of embedded design intent and the ability to make changes using the relationships between features. I think it’s worth pointing out that the solutions mentioned so far Creo Parametric (Proe), Solidworks and Inventor are all feature history based modellers. Hello All, everybody has made valid points.
