Creo Flexible Modeling Extension FMX
Description
Design-Engine created this comprehensive Flexible Modeling Extension course to aid design and engineering teams to effectively make late-stage or unexpected design changes with the latest release of Creo. Creo FMX allows participants to add parametric design intent to IGES or STEP data imported from other CAD systems while preserving design intent and capturing edits as parametric features. Fully integrated into Creo 3.0, these robust Flexible Modeling functions are a fast and powerful set of geometry editing tools that enable users to quickly and easily make direct changes to parametric designs.
Creo FMX saves users time and effort by eliminating the need for rework and design recreation. It is just as easy to modify third-party or legacy design data as it is to modify Creo Parametric parts and features. These changes work just as well on native Creo or import geometry. This Creo Flexible Modeling Extension FMX training course is developed for newer and seasoned users alike who want to become proficient at making these FMX style changes in a quick 2-day class, resulting in more efficient team members. All Design Engine courses help design engineers learn how to make changes quickly, and allow users to become an expert in Creo quicker than self-directed learning.

- Manage changes to a bike saddle substrate geometry
- Perform a wide variety of engineering change orders to the KTM motorcycle import
- Change the number of instances and spacing of the pattern
- Propagate geometric changes made with Move, Offset, Modify Analytic, and Substitute to neighboring tangent surfaces to maintain tangency
- Simultaneously change multiple surfaces
- Automatically replicate edits on a pattern
- Modify analytic shapes like cylinders, spheres, tori, and cones
Discussions
- History of Direct Modeling
- Proper import geometry procedure with STEP & IGES models
- Import Data Doctor
- Assembly constraints are remembered and solved at regeneration time
- Recognize patterns of geometry in imported parts and propagate geometric changes to the pattern members
- Move geometry faster and easier with the 3D Dragger tool that allows you to “push-pull” your geometry to the desired position
- Automated control over how attachment, round, chamfer, and solution topology is executed Geometry recognition
- Preserve original design intent in your edits to capture features that can be further modified in the future
- Discuss how we can ultimately work more efficiently in a multi-CAD environment by easily incorporating and editing data from other CAD systems
- Add parametric design intent to imported data
- Learn to use Move, offset, edit round, edit chamfer, and modify analytic changes to be propagated by symmetry or pattern
- Faster, more flexible 3D editing increases the efficiency and productivity of detailed design and downstream product development process
