Creo Elements/Direct Modeling

Creo Elements/Direct Modeling (formerly CoCreate Modeling) provides robust, comprehensive direct modeling capabilities.

Pros

    nTop

    nTop is a computational design software platform that enables engineers to create, analyze, and optimize complex geometry using implicit modeling and field-driven design methodologies. Unlike traditional boundary representation (B-rep) CAD systems, nTop uses implicit modeling technology to represent geometry through mathematical functions, allowing for unbreakable parametric models that remain stable across large geometric changes and enabling direct integration with simulation workflows.
