DALLAS, TEXAS:  PTC's new integrated software of Pro/Engineer design

solution and Mathcad, an engineering calculation software, scheduled for launch

in August will be called  Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 M030 maintenance

release.

This integration helps PTC expand its computer-aided design, manufacturing

and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) suite of solutions with unique predictive

engineering capabilities that help customers deliver optimized products more

rapidly, with higher quality and improved knowledge capture.






"Our customers face mounting pressure to deliver better products faster and
at a lower cost," said Jim Heppelmann, executive vice president and



chief product officer, PTC.  "We have responded to this challenge by
delivering industry-leading solutions that automate key product development

processes. With an integration between Pro/E and Mathcad, customers will be able

to take advantage of innovative new capabilities that help automate the upfront

engineering process, which is typically disconnected, manual and

error-prone," he added.






 The integration between Mathcad and Pro/E is a bi-directional link between
the two applications. Users of these solutions can easily associate any



 Mathcad file with a Pro/E part or assembly using the analysis feature in
Pro/E. Critical values calculated in Mathcad can be mapped to parameters



 and dimensions in the CAD model to drive the geometric design. Parameters
from a Pro/E model can also be input into Mathcad for downstream



 engineering design calculations. The integration offers dynamic updates to
calculations and the CAD drawing when parameters are changed.






 Additionally, Mathcad-driven Pro/E designs can now be validated using
Pro/E Mechanica structural, thermal, fatigue and mechanism analysis



 solutions.
