Abstract:
Creo Parametric 2.0's Advanced Framework Extension is a powerful add-on that allows
users to rapidly model frame structures with ease. This presentation will briefly demonstrate how
these types of models can be created quickly using AFX, and how it can reduce modeling time
through the use of library items. It will also describe how AFX can be installed, configured, and
properly administered, including the use of standard and custom shape libraries, along with
incorporating company-specific Windchill libraries.

Course Content:
Introduction to the Creo Parametric Basic Modeling Process
Creo is a family or suite of Computer-aided design (CAD) apps supporting product
design for discrete manufacturers and is developed by PTC. In 1998 invented pro engineering
PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation). First Time Launch PTC CREO version 2000.
Current version available in market wildfire 1.0 to 7.0. Creo Parametric Basic Modeling Process.

Understanding Creo Parametric Concepts

i. Understanding CREO Solid Modeling Concepts, Feature-Based Concepts
ii. Understanding Parametric Concepts
iii. Understanding Associative Concepts
iv. Understanding Model-Centric Concepts,
v. Recognizing file extensions
Modes of Creo:
In Creo software basically four modes
i. Sketch mode
ii. Part mode
iii. Drawing mode
iv. Assembly mode

i. Sketch mode
a. A fundamental Technique with in most parametric modeling.
b. Most feature created by sketching technique.
c. Sketch can be saved for use in later modelling situations.
d. In sketch mode command, Line, Rectangular, Circle, Centre line, Delete Segment,
Modify

ii. Part Mode

a. You can create and edit 2D and 3D geometry in part mode.
b. The 2D and 3D buttons in the status bar determine the design mode.
c. When you create a new part, it opens by default in 2D mode. You cannot activate 3D
mode until you create 2D geometry.
d. When you switch from 3D to 2D mode using the status bar, you are prompted for a planar
surface or a datum plane to position the sketch plane.

iii. Drawing Mode

a. Creo Parametric offers functionality to work with engineering drawings in Drawing
mode.
b. Create drawings of all Creo Parametric models.
c. Export drawing files to other systems and import files into Drawing mode.
d. View and annotate models and drawings.
e. Creo Parametric associate’s drawings with their parent models.
f. All views in the drawing are associative. Work with multiple sheets in the drawing.
g. Add and modify different kinds of textual and symbolic information.

iv. Assembly mode:

In Creo Direct assembly mode you can create a new assembly or add components to form
assemblies.
Creation and Modification of Assemblies
a. Activate a Live Toolbar for direct and intuitive geometry creation and modification.
b. Add a new component to the assembly.
c. Delete a component.
d. Obtain the measurement details of one or more selected entities on the components.
e. Move a geometric entity using the dragger or by specifying a dimension value.
f. Activate a part or a subassembly created in Creo Direct or Creo Parametric, update, and
save it.

Sketching Mode
Sketching mode is section creation mode. In this mode any 2D part create.
 a. Click on new and select sketch option.
b. 2D sketch create on command
Line, Arc, Rectangle, Offset, centerline, ellipse, thickness, circle, spline, Text, etc.,

c. File management
In file management first file names entre. When File name entre space not require When
File name entre require under scor show in fig.

d. Working Directory
working directory is an area you designate to store Creo Parametric files. Typically, the
default working directory is directory in which you start Creo Parametric.

Extrude and Basic Modeling Fundamental

Extrusion is a method of defining three-dimensional geometry by translating a two-dimensional
sketch normal to the sketch plane, for a pre-defined distance or up to a specified reference. Use
the Extrude tool to create a solid or surface feature, and to add or remove material. You can
create the following extrusion types:
a. Protrusion—Solid, Thickened
b. Cut—Solid, Thickened
c. Extruded surface
d. Surface trim—Regular, Thickened
Feature creation tool
i. Hole Feature
Hole command use create straight hole or Hole sweep. The Hole tool enables you to add
simple, custom, and industry-standard holes to your models. You add holes by defining a
placement reference, offset references, optional hole orientation references, and the
specific characteristics of the hole.
We can create following
 a. Simple: - Consists of an extruded or revolved cut that is not directly associated with any
industry standard.
b. Standard: - Consists of a revolved cut based on industry-standard fastener
tables. Creo provides industry-standard hole charts and tapped or clearance diameters for
the selected fastener. You can also create your own hole charts.
Tapped hole.

Tapered Hole.

Drilled Hole.
Clearance Hole.

ii. Chamfer Feature

Chamfers are a type of feature where an edge or corner is beveled. Surfaces can be solid
model surfaces or traditional Creo zero-thickness quilts and surfaces. You can create two
types of chamfers: corner chamfers and edge chamfer.
a. Corner Chamfers: - Create corner chamfers using the   Corner
Chamfer tool. When you create a corner chamfer, you select a vertex
defined by three edges, and then you set length values along each
chamfer direction edge.
b. Edge Chamfers: - create edge chamfers using the   Edge Chamfer tool. To create
edge chamfers, you define one or more chamfer sets. A chamfer set is an organizational
unit containing one or more chamfer pieces.
c.

Advantage:
 i. Increased Engineer Productivity
II. Better Enabled Concept Design
III. Increased Engineering Capabilities
IV. Increased Manufacturing Capabilities
V. Design Capabilities for Additive Manufacturing
