PTC Integrates NVIDIA Omniverse Libraries into Creo and Windchill
PTC has expanded its collaboration with NVIDIA by embedding Omniverse technologies into its Creo® CAD and Windchill® PLM platforms. This move aims to streamline product development processes, especially for complex and engineering-intensive products. The integration supports real-time simulation and visualization, helping teams work more efficiently across design, engineering, and marketing.
Omniverse Integration for Real-Time Simulation
By incorporating NVIDIA Omniverse OpenUSD and RTX libraries into Creo and Windchill, PTC enables high-fidelity visualization and real-time simulation of CAD models directly within the product lifecycle management environment. This allows teams to interact with detailed 3D data without switching between multiple tools, improving accuracy and speeding up iterations.
Improved Collaboration with Shared Environments
Team members can now access version-controlled product data in a shared, immersive environment. This setup promotes better coordination and faster decision-making by providing clear visibility into design changes and updates across departments.
Supporting Digital Twin Workflows
The integration supports digital twin workflows by enabling simulations of complex systems like high-performance PCBs, cooling mechanisms, and data center equipment. It leverages live data from Windchill to create accurate models that reflect real-world conditions, aiding in validation and problem-solving early in the development cycle.
Accelerating AI Hardware Design
PTC has long contributed to NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure hardware development. With Omniverse capabilities now embedded directly into its platforms, PTC further streamlines design and simulation processes specific to AI hardware, improving efficiency and reducing development risk.
Commitment to Open Standards
PTC also joined the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) to promote open, interoperable 3D data exchange. This aligns with the company’s goal to foster collaboration across the AI and design ecosystem, ensuring that data can flow seamlessly between different tools and platforms.
Benefits for Product Development Teams
- Faster, more accurate product simulations within existing PLM workflows
- Enhanced cross-functional collaboration with shared, version-controlled 3D environments
- Improved validation of complex systems using live data-driven digital twins
- Reduced development risk and shorter time to market for AI and engineering-intensive products
- Support for open standards that encourage interoperability and future-proof workflows
This integration reflects a clear focus on practical improvements in how products are designed, tested, and brought to market. For product development professionals, leveraging these capabilities means better alignment between teams and more reliable outcomes.
