Creo® Flow Analysis Extension (FAE)
A complete computational f luid dynamics (CFD) solution for product designers and analysts
Creo Flow Analysis extension puts CFD in the hands of every 
engineer. As products become more complex and timelines 
shorten, you need a CFD solution that allows you to analyze 
liquid and gas flow early in your design process. With Creo FAE, 
you can reduce expensive hardware testing and gain unique 
insight into your products. 
No need to learn a new tool or sacrifice accuracy 
for ease-of-use. You can perform your analy-
sis in the familiar Creo design environment with 
the same user interface. We’ve partnered with 
Simerics, a leader in simulation software for fluid 
pumps, valves, compressors, motors, and systems. 
Now you have a fast, highly-accurate CFD solver 
integrated into your Creo workflow and made for 
you, the engineer and designer.
• Part of PTC’s portfolio of simulation products 
designed to fit the needs of engineers 
• Integrated CAD and CFD with full associativity 
• Easy model creation: One-step creation of solid and 
fluid domains; automatic creation of high-efficiency, 
high-quality mesh that maintains shape and aspect 
ratio; comprehensive physics
• Faster turnaround: proprietary algorithm speeds 
run-time and convergence on multi cores
• Scalable: three levels of capabilities for users ranging 
from engineer to analyst.
The Creo Advantage
Creo is a 3D CAD solution that helps you build better products faster by accelerating product innovation, 
reusing the very best of your designs and replacing assumptions with facts. Go from the earliest phases 
of product design to a smart, connected product with Creo. Add augmented reality to allow everyone to 
visualize your design. In the fast changing world of the Industrial IoT, no other company can get you to the 
substantial value as quickly and effectively as PTC.
