• Creo Flexible Modeling Extension is included functionality with every Creo Essentials and Creo
Engineer package. The tool provides powerful direct modeling capabilities to rapidly edit and make
unexpected changes to parametric and non-native CAD data.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
63. 79
Slow, difficult process to…
• recreate geometry to implement change
• implement late stage and unexpected change
• make changes to imported and non-native CAD data
• simplify and prepare geometry for analysis and downstream activities
• evolve legacy and carry-over geometry to support concept and detailed design
FLEXIBLE MODELING – WHY DO WE NEED IT?
Users struggle to work multi-CAD data and implement fast, flexible design changes

intelligence to imported data
– Define edits using dimensions to create editable parameters
• Parametric design intelligence is preserved and
propagated
– Editing geometry propagates to update Creo FMX feature

CREO HARNESS MANUFACTURING EXTENSION (HMX)
Introduction
Using the traditional harness manufacturing solution to create all the required manufacturing documentation for
an average harness would take in excess of two hours.
PTC Harness Manufacturing Extension automates the documentation process reducing the time to less than five
minutes.
Creo HMX “lite” functionality is included with Creo PCX
– Note: Pro/Harness for Manufacturing is also included (no longer being developed)
76. 9292
CREO HMX LITE
With Creo 2.0 the 3 connector 36 wire harness would take around 2 hours to flatten and detail
With Creo 3.0 the same harness would take less than 5 minutes using Harness Manufacture Lite
At a typical hourly rate of $40, this would provide an immediate saving of $80.
