# Design Enhancement Tools PTC Created Creo 7.0 with Generative Design Tools and Other New Features By Daniel Johnson | Published 2020-07-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creo-70 References: [businesswire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200414005857/en/PTC-Launches-Creo-7.0-Powerful-Enhancements-Generative) & [ptc](https://www.ptc.com/en/products/creo/whats-new) [PTC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-product-lifecycle) recently launched a new product named Creo 7.0, which helps companies create better products by improving the design process. Creo 7.0 was made possible through the acquisition of Onshape, a Software-as-a-Service company. The acquisition gave PTC access to new technologies including [generative design capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aidriven-design), that will allow manufactures to use [AI to efficiently optimize designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-product-creation-platform). Other features include Simulation-Driven Design, with real-time simulation capabilities, as well as Multibody Design, allowing users to more efficiently complete designs. Brian Thompson, a divisional vice president, and general manager for the company spoke about the new product, "Creo 7.0 is one of our most innovation-rich releases yet, allowing customers to leverage Frustum’s amazing generative design technology and an enhanced Ansys-powered Creo Simulation Live with real-time fluid-flow analysis."
