PTC Creo Options Modeler is a dedicated application created for
design engineers who need to quickly generate a broader range of product offerings without significantly increasing cost or complexity.
Design engineers need to respond to many challenges
when developing products, especially when working in dynamic, competitive environments with increasingly diverse and varied needs of new markets or new customer opportunities. By using a modular product approach to design, engineers can reduce complexity while still providing a broad range of product offerings without significant increases in cost. With PTC Creo Options Modeler, designers can quickly create and validate any customer-specific product by generating modular product architecture and defining how product modules interface and assemble. When combined with PTC Windchill, PTCs product lifecycle management software, PTC Creo Options Modeler enables manufacturers to generate and validate precise 3D representations of product configurations defined by an individual bill of materials (BOM).
Reduce process errors and engineering rework
by directly reusing available 3D models from PTC Creo, as well as BOM and business logic for product configurations from PTC Windchill Automate the creation of any product by defining common architecture and product modules, and help manage how they interface and assemble Optimize products earlier by automating manually intensive, error-prone tasks Communicate precisely by sharing product designs earlier and receive feedback from other internal teams, suppliers, and customers
The combination of PTC Creo Options Modeler and
PTC Creo Parametric enables designers to validate the resulting product by checking properties (e.g., the precise mass and center of gravity) and even checking and resolving critical areas, such as interference.
Key benefits Achieve faster design cycles by creating and validating product modules in 3D early in the design phase

Data Sheet
Capabilities and specifications
Fully visualize and validate the modular product architecture Create the modular product architecture through a top-down or bottom-up design approach: -- Top-Down: Ideal for creating new products. Create the top-level modular product architecture independent of individual modules and models* -- Bottom-Up: Ideal for adding new product modules to existing products. Create individual modules independent of the top-level product architecture View and interact with all relevant information in one integrated environment: -- Modular product architecture -- 3D models Select from available product modules and precisely visualize the resulting product in 3D Flexibly create and change the modular product architecture Create new modular product architectures by reusing existing products: -- From CAD, directly use existing parts and assemblies from PTC Creo -- From PLM, directly use individual BOM* Change, add, or remove module variants from the modular product architecture Accelerate assembly in 3D Define interfaces and assembly tags to make module variants interchangeably Create configurable modules to easily manage multiple options
Create configurable modules to easily manage multiple options
Generate any modular product as a precise 3D
representation; in PTC Creo Parametric, validate mass, center of gravity, interference, and other critical areas Use the resulting 3D model for downstream activities such as simulation and manufacturing Leverage existing BOM * Requires PTC Windchill
