Description: Advanced 3D Solid Modeling techniques using Creo Parametric. Emphasis is on Advanced Assembly Mates, Large Assembly Management Tools, and Top-Down Design. In addition, time is given to safe and proper development of new Solid Models and Drawing Documents from legacy solid models, using Top-Down Assembly techniques. Exploration of intricate models (parts, assemblies, sheetmetal and complex feature sets).
