An Overview of the Capabilities of the Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension

April 21, 2020 Natasha Reaves

The Behavioral Modeling module of Creo Parametric is also known as the Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension. This module is an optional advanced analysis and modeling tool.

Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension can be used to:

  • Create geometry based on the results of measurements and other analyses.
  • Check the feasibility of varying dimensions and parameters.
  • Analyze parameter values as other parameters are varying.
  • Optimize the model based on design rules and criteria.
  • Study your design using several objectives.
  • Graph the results of analyses.
  • Create family table instances based on model mass properties.

By using the Creo Behavioral Modeling Extension, you can solve potential design problems, such as:

  • Trial and error iteration of one or more design variables.
  • Repetitive construction of a feature.
  • Repetitive measurement of a feature.
  • Feasibility and optimized solutions to a problem.

The Creo Behavioral Modeling module includes the following features and options:

  • The datum analysis feature.
  • The datum field point feature.
  • Sensitivity Analyses.
  • Optimization Studies.
  • Feasibility Studies.
  • Multi-Objective Design Studies.
  • User Defined Analyses.
  • Excel Analyses.
  • Motion Analysis.
  • Statistical Design Studies.
  • Tolerance Analysis.

More information about this topic can be found in our Creo Parametric Behavioral Modeling and Creo Parametric Advanced Part Design courses.
