“Time is of the essence when putting
together a design: by using PTC Creo
software we have achieved a time-gain of
25% already in cutting back lost time.”
Nico Marini,
Managing Director, Certum Engineering
Certum Engineering replaces Inventor and standardizes
fully on PTC products for automotive design.
Certum Engineering has its field of expertise
within the automotive industry. Designing
and engineering engine rooms, chassis,
integral structures, axle fixation structures,
steering systems, fuel systems, exhaust
systems,…’complete’ vehicles.

• Improved working with large
assemblies and its performance
by 25%
• Improved working with Steel and
Aluminum frames by 50%
• Data can flow seamlessly within
the company
• Less failures and errors within
the design process through data
management
S o l u t i o n
A fully integrated package of PTC
Creo and PTC Windchill products:
• PTC Creo Essentials Package
which contains PTC Creo
Parametric and the Flexible
Modeling Extension
• Extensions: Advanced
Assembly Design, Advanced
Framework Design,
Mechanism Dynamics Option.
• Data Management:
PDMEssentials
• While working with PTC
Creo Parametric, Certum got
convinced of the PTC Creo
solution
• Reduce product
development cost,
production cost and improve
product quality
When working with a lot of different suppliers
CAD data is not always native. There are no
struggles with PTC software when dealing
with large assemblies. Even with imported
CAD data.

PTC Global Services Consults ZF Test Systems in Advanced
Dynamic Simulation with Creo Simulate and Mathcad
© 2012 PTC
ZF Test Systems, a business unit of ZF Passau GmbH in Germany, offers its customers the know-
how of a major manufacturing group with the flexibility of a small division: Just 70 employees
develop and produce tailor-made and ready-to-use test rigs for automotive component and
system tests like rolling noise, oscillations, vehicle stiffness or power losses.
 Since all test rigs are unique and individually designed for the actual
customer demand, ZF Test Systems already uses Creo Simulate and
Mathcad at the beginning of the development phase to assure accurate
static and modal behavior of each facility. Now, also detailed dynamic
analyses shall be performed to further improve the test benches
 PTC offered an individual simulation consulting that treated the special
dynamic analysis tasks of ZF Test Systems
 Simulation knowledge for solving dynamic problems related to
unbalanced rotating machinery and pre-loaded systems was acquired
 The behavior of the test rigs can now be predicted quantitatively and
optimized in more detail long before each individual test bench is being
built and put to dynamic tests

“PTC Global Services delivered an excellent simulation consultation that provided theoretic
knowledge as well as practical software know-how, applied to our special demands. We will
definitely use PTC simulation products even more. They enable us to deliver optimal test
facilities to our customers.” Jens Eisenbeiß, Manager Mechanical Design Test Systems, ZF Passau
