It has been quite some time since 3D CAD became popular among those in the manufacturing industry. While the number of customers without 3D CAD has decreased, 2D CAD is still widely used. In this seminar, we will introduce the latest trends in CAD.

We are releasing a series of six seminars introducing PTC's 3D CAD, Creo, on our YouTube channel. This is recommended for those who missed the opportunity to register for this seminar series or who may have missed it. Please take this opportunity to watch.

PTC (Headquarters: Massachusetts, USA, President and CEO: James E. Heppelmann, NASDAQ: PTC, hereinafter referred to as PTC / Japan subsidiary: PTC Japan Inc., Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Hiroaki Kuwahara) announced today that it has finalized an agreement to acquire Intland Software for approximately $280 million. Intland develops and sells Codebeamer, a suite of application lifecycle management (ALM) software products that are capable of cloud integration.

The use of 3D CAD in mechanical design varies depending on the customer's situation, with some companies having been using it for over 20 years and others just starting recently. According to data from December 2019, over 60% of companies are designing using 3D data. However, the methods of design instruction to partner companies show that 54.3% use drawings, 23.8% use 2D data, and when combined, about 78.1% of design instructions are given in 2D. In this context, when companies that have traditionally designed using 2D CAD adopt and utilize 3D CAD, discussions about "whether past 2D CAD data can be utilized" are frequently heard in our sales activities, not just regarding operational training and usage. The intention here is not to question the appropriateness of using past 2D data in 3D CAD, but to describe how to technically utilize 2D CAD data in 3D CAD using the feature "AutobuildZ" included in the basic package of Creo Parametric. Please check the details via the link.

PTC Japan has launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'Creo's Room'" on YouTube, featuring our skilled engineers. This time, we will introduce "Thermal Conductivity Analysis and Thermal Fluid Analysis." Both thermal conductivity analysis and thermal fluid analysis are useful for analyzing heat transfer and determining temperature distribution. The former can be executed with simple operations but is suited for analyses that do not require high precision, while the latter allows for various conditions to be set and is suitable for analyses that demand accuracy. We will explain the capabilities of these two analyses, the differences in thinking, and the differences in analysis scope, based on explanations and actual analysis examples. For more details, please check the link.

At PTC Japan, we have launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'Creo Room'" on YouTube, featuring our skilled engineers.
