Creepage & Clearance
Clearance and creepage are terms used in electrical and electronics engineering to describe the distance between conductive parts that may carry electrical current or voltage.
These terms are used to analyze and evaluate the electrical insulation properties of a product or system. Clearance is the shortest distance between two conductive parts, measured through the air or other insulating material.
It is essential because it ensures that electrical current cannot arc or jump between the two conductive parts, which could cause a short circuit or other electrical hazards. Creepage, on the other hand, refers to the distance along the surface of an insulating material between two conductive parts.
Creepage is important because it ensures that electrical current cannot travel along the surface of the insulating material and cause a short circuit or other electrical hazards.
Clearance & Creepage usage with DEX and Windchill
Clearance and creepage analysis can be combined with other PTC software products like PTC Windchill and PTC Creo DEX (Design Exploration Extension) to enhance teamwork and data management during the design process.
Engineers can save, manage, and track their clearance and creepage analysis data and findings with the integration of Windchill, making it simpler to communicate information with team members and stakeholders.
PTC Creo DEX is an add-on that enables designers to swiftly and effectively explore and assess many design ideas. Engineers may work more productively and collaboratively throughout the design process by combining clearance and creepage studies with Windchill and DEX.
The precision and consistency of the design are also enhanced by this integration, which results in higher-quality products and shorter design cycles.

Creo Simulation Live is a powerful real-time simulation solution that allows engineers and designers to test and validate designs in real-time, reducing design cycle time and improving product accuracy. It offers capabilities like static, modal, and thermal analysis, eliminating the need for assumptions about product performance.
Creo Ansys Simulation allows engineers and designers to simulate 3D models in real situations, examining stress, vibration, heat transfer, and fluid movement. The simulations guide design choices and enhance product performance. It saves time and money by identifying potential challenges before creating prototypes.
Structural analysis is the assessment of a product’s structural behavior under different loading conditions. It involves designing a virtual model, simulating its behavior using finite element analysis (FEA), and providing insights into stress distribution, deformation, and potential failure modes.
A simulation-based process that models and studies the thermal behavior of a product or component, aiming to predict temperature distribution and assess thermal performance. This data can improve design, increase product quality and reliability, and reduce development time and costs.
Modal analysis studies a structure’s dynamic behavior under different loading conditions, identifying its native resonance frequencies and mode shapes. This helps detect potential failure modes, improve designs, and ensure a structure can survive anticipated loading conditions.
Motion analysis simulates a mechanism’s motion in a virtual setting, allowing designers and engineers to identify potential issues. Creo Motion Analysis allows users to analyze forces, torques, and velocities to ensure reliable designs, saving time and money in the design process.
A crucial tool in Creo that predicts the flow of molten plastic material into a mold during injection molding. It helps designers and engineers optimize the process, ensuring efficient and uniform filling. This analysis helps identify potential issues like seam lines, sink marks, and air traps.
Fatigue analysis evaluates a component’s or structure’s behavior under cyclic loading, predicting its capacity to withstand cycles before failure. Engineers simulate loading and unloading cycles on a 3D model, determining stresses and strains and comparing them to the material’s characteristics and fatigue curves.
Clearance and creepage are terms in electrical and electronics engineering to describe the distance between conductive parts carrying electrical current or voltage. Clearance is the shortest distance, measured through air or insulating material, preventing short circuits or other electrical hazards.
Numerical method for simulating fluid flows and heat transfer in systems or products. Engineers can use CFD to analyze design behavior under various variables, such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate, allowing them to optimize performance and obtain precise information.
