How does Creo Simulation Live compare to Creo Simulate? Which simulation software is better?

Most people get this wrong. It's not a matter of which software is better - it completely depends on how you're using simulation in your design process. Creo Simulation Live is not meant to compete with or replace traditional simulation tools such Creo Simulate, Creo Simulate Advanced, or ANSYS AIM.

Creo Simulation Live (powered by ANSYS)
Creo Simulation Live does not require complex setup, model preparation, meshing or lengthy solving time. Creo Simulation Live provides guidance to the designer with real-time linear structural, thermal, and modal analysis feedback to rapidly understand and evaluate change impact during the design process.

Simulation in Creo (Creo Simulate & Creo Simulate Advanced)
Creo Simulation is an analysis solution supporting linear and nonlinear structural, thermal, and vibration analysis providing comprehensive capabilities to analyze and validate the performance of 3D virtual prototypes (CAD Models).
