Data SheetKey Benefits• Improve performance by simplifying large assemblies.Use top-down design tools to build the skeleton model,giving you greater flexibility and control over the entirestructure• Make changes with confidence, knowing that allmodifications are automatically propagated fromthe design to the manufacturing information• Effectively control and communicate configuration rules,enabling you to create higher-quality designs faster, andreuse your product designs in the futureDesign to order• Customize products through a Web page andautomatically generate drawings• Programmatically automate the customization of yourproduct lines based on input parameters• Deliver updated, accurate drawings and manufacturingdeliverables in record time for a customized product• Capture design requirements from customers inspreadsheets, layout tables, or other programmingapplications, which can drive product configuration• Quickly and efficiently customize product variantsaccording to a customer’s unique requirements• Support your company’s design- or build-to-orderinitiatives and provide better-quality, customized productsto customers faster, at less cost than your competition• Concurrently create assembly manufacturing processinstructions while detecting manufacturing errors as soonas possibleCapabilities and SpecificationsTop-down design tools: products evolve ‘naturally’• Plan the framework of an assembly using skeleton models,to enable true top-down design• Introduce design teams to skeleton models, to establishand enforce use of consistent design criteria amongall engineers• Publish and control contact interfaces between subassembliesand components• Create one-way associative models, allowing you toinherit the changes from the parent model, and thenmake changes to the new modelSimplify large assemblies• Create simplified envelope parts to substitute for detaileddesign assemblies and to improve assembly performanceThe reference viewer in Creo AAX lets you see and manage your designassembly references.Reference viewer and reference control• Manage references to prevent future failures• View a graphical representation of interdependenciesfor a clear understanding of how changes will bepropagated throughout the model• Incorporate design management rules directly intothe design• Quickly identify circular reference pathsPage 2 of 3 | Creo AAXPTC.com
