Creo runs on Microsoft Windows and provides software for 3D CAD parametric feature solid modeling, 3D direct modeling, 2D orthographic views, Finite Element Analysis and simulation, schematic design, technical illustrations, and viewing and visualization. Creo can also be paired with the Mastercam machining based software.

Software and features

Creo Elements and Creo Parametric compete directly with CATIA, Siemens NX/Solid Edge, and SolidWorks. The Creo suite of apps replace and supersede PTC’s products formerly known as Pro/ENGINEER, CoCreate, and ProductView.

PTC began developing Creo in 2009, and announced it using the code name Project Lightning at PlanetPTC Live, in Las Vegas, in June 2010.[1] In October 2010, PTC unveiled the product name for Project Lightning to be Creo.[2] PTC released Creo 1.0 in June 2011.[3] PTC Creo has a headquarters located inside the innovation district of Boston, Massachusetts. There are also numerous locations all across the United States.

PTC Creo runs on Windows 8 and 10. Video display requirements are any 3D capable graphics cards with OpenGL support. 4 gigabytes of RAM are required to run PTC Creo Parametric, as well as a minimum of 2 gigabytes of hard disk space.

Creo is part of a broader product development system developed by PTC. It connects to PTC’s other solutions that aid product development, including Windchill for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Mathcad for engineering calculations and Arbortext for enterprise publishing software.
