PTC University Updates
The PTCU Creo Training Catalog has just grown by three courses to a total of 40 virtual instructor-led, 3-hour trainingcourses. Based on customer feedback, we expanded the Surfacing category offerings, as the existing courses are focused on parametric surfacing only:
The following three new courses have been added to the Surfacing category:
Creo: Fixing Imported Geometry - This course is helpful for users who need to repair broken imported model geometry using the Creo Parametric Import Data Doctor (IDD).
Creo: Conceptual Design Using Subdivision Modeling - This course is helpful for users who wish to create freeform organic geometry using the Creo Parametric Freestyle tool.
Creo: Advanced Surface Modeling - This course is helpful for users who need to create complex surface geometry using the
Creo Parametric Style tool.

8 Reasons You Need A "Parts-Centric" PLM Approach (And What To Do About It)
Over the years, the Convergence Data team has spoken with many organizations that leverage a PLM solution. As our team wraps up from our recent attendance at the PTC User Group Conference, we reflected on the many excellent interactions
and dialogues that we had on the topic of parts classification and decided to share them with the broader community

Windchill Classification Webinar- Watch On Demand
It’s never too late (or early) to begin preparing your data for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) integration. In fact, the earlier the better!
Watch the Webinar here.
5 Key Steps To Developing An Effective Parts & Data Classification Program
Often, organizations overlook the effect of having duplicated pieces of data within a PLM system. One survey found engineers spend 36% of their time on non-value-add work and nearly a quarter of that time searching for information.
Without effective data classification, your engineers waste critical time and effort searching for parts, creating
duplicate parts, and struggling to find a common language for cross-departmental collaboration and reporting.
Prioritizing your classification strategy can eliminate inefficiencies, encourage teamwork and higher productivity, and
ultimately create bandwidth for your team to focus on innovation.
