creo elements o solidworks ?

[mguerra]

I am about to come across the company in a cad from creo elements to solidworks.
Has anyone experienced this passage? What is lost and what is earned?

personally I have been working with I create for years and I find no particular reason to change.

taking care of prototypes of mechanical carpentry and therefore particular and overall you all dissimilar to use a parametric as sw would bring advantages regarding a non- parametric as creo elements?

thanks to all

I think if you don't have any particular problems you can't solve, you're not doing something right. only the recovery of the historian and bookstores costs more than you can recover with this change. if you do not have efx you will have the advantage of welded that in solidworks, are included in the basic license.

thanks to the answer

I have never used a parametric like most of my colleagues and I wonder if it brings advantages over a non-parametric as I create if you work with always new pieces.
I heard that who is not used to working with a parametric makes a lot of confusion in the working tree and therefore does not receive the benefits.. .
What do you think

Hi, I'm sorry, but I read bad, I thought you were using creo parametric. I have never used a non-parametric cad 3d, so I answer you without an adequate experience.
as far as I have seen I would never give up to the parametric, if used intelligently by great advantages in design. If the tree of a part is very long it becomes difficult to manage the changes, this is true, but I think it is worth it.
the fact that it is advantageous or not depends also on how you will use it. if you use it in bottom up mode you will not have huge benefits compared to creo, if you will push you to use a topdown design instead the advantages are remarkable.
there can be many ways to control a parametric set, you should consider the ideal method according to your product and documentation you think it is appropriate to extract from the project (semb banal, but here opens a world).
Concluding, I think you will have benefits with this passage. question: why did you not go to create parametric? just a curiosity. .

 

[mguerra]

the reason we have not changed so far is because creo elements meets our needs.
now the direction is "suggesting" us to change.
we are about to change management, we pass to sap and on the wave of this seems you want to pass to a new cad3d and the most papable seems to be sworks probably also for commercial reasons.
but what makes me puzzled is the passage to a parametric. in uff.tec. we are about 20 plus several external studies working for us. My feeling as you say is that it is important to work "pulita" in order to exploit the parametric, but being many I see it hard to have a common way of working.

the parametric brings the logic chained in everything, even in the relationships between objects, an indispensable thing to have everything connected with a logic. If instead the mentality is to change and move jobs because in the workshop they are wrong, or you do a little so and we see and try....you don't need the parametric.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

per curiosita', state using cre elementes direct/modeling or create parametric elements?

 

[mguerra]

I believe elements direct/modeling.

 

[cacciatorino]

I believe elements direct/modeling.

I use it, too.

there are advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of modeling is the ability to handle very great assemblies, which with the parametric can not load, and perhaps a greater ease of use until you remain at the level of "technigraph 3d", if you pass the term.

 

[mguerra]

for studies starting from 0 prefer (pass me your) parametric or not parametric?

depends on what you are looking for:

If you have to work in a race maybe better modeling, even if it has problems in other areas, such as putting in the table that for example is very lacking compared to solid edge. If you have to make a complex machine (complex from the cinematic point of view) then definitely better a parametric one, which allows to make a model 3d more 'ader to the real behavior of the system (see bonds of assembly, interpart links and possibility' to simulate cinematisms, all things that in modeling are absent or strongly limited).

if you have to do complex things in a short time, definitely better the parametric, but it serves "manic"
