LiveLink for Creo Parametric

LiveLink™ for the Creo™ Parametric CAD system delivers a seamless integration of CAD and simulation. By establishing an associative connection between the two applications, a change of a feature in the CAD model automatically updates the geometry in COMSOL Multiphysics, while retaining physics settings. All parameters specified in Creo Parametric can be interactively linked with your simulation geometry. This enables multiphysics simulation involving parametric sweeps and design optimization directly from within the CAD program.

All LiveLink for CAD products include all the capabilities of the CAD Import Module. This lets you import and defeature files from all major CAD packages.
