Below are the Specific product courses that CSI provide, if you are looking for something different please contact CSI and we will fit a course to your requirements.

Objectives: The Creo Elements/Direct Base course consists of lectures and laboratory exercises. This course provides the knowledge bridge between 2D and 3D CAD environments. Users will learn how to create and modify analytic 3D models, and also learn the skills and concepts required for developing more complex freeform 3D models. To create and modify 2D drawings that are derived from the 3D solid models.
Pre requisites: As a minimum requirement, users must have experience in the development of 2D drawings using Creo Elements/Direct Drafting or another 2D CAD system. Must be able to interpret engineering drawings, and have a full understanding of drafting concepts. Prior use of another 3D CAD system will be helpful, but is not required.
Audience: Mechanical Engineers, Illustrators, Graphics Arts Designers
Duration: 5 days
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Content: Concepts of Interface, Using Work planes, 2D-Geometry Creating, Creating a Solid, Machining and positioning parts & assemblies, Modifying parts, 2D layout and associative documentation, Lighting and assigning part properties, creating and modifying freeform parts.	Creo Elements/Direct Annotation Content: Create/Update Views and View-Sets, Create Sheets, Create/Add Text, Create and Apply Dimensions, Using Symbols, Supporting Geometry, Plot Capabilities.

Objectives: The Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Advanced Course gives you a deeper understanding of the internal workings of Elements/Direct Modeling. Learn more about sophisticated modeling techniques, as well as additional functionality, that takes you beyond that covered in Elements/Direct Modeling. Freeform capabilities are addressed in much greater depth and detail so you can get the most from Elements/Direct Modeling’s lofting capabilities.

Prerequisites: Before attending this course you must have completed a Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Basic Course and have at least 1 to 3 months experience using Elements/Direct Modeling.

Audience: This class is ideal for people who want to understand and take advantage of the advanced functionality in Elements/Direct Modeling. It is especially beneficial for users who are creating and/or working with complex parts or large assemblies.

Duration: 2 days

Content: 3D theory, Parts, assembly, structures and filling methods Advanced machining, Advanced modifiying, Advanced freeforming, Non-manufacturable parts, Advanced annotating, The GD&T Advisor, The Machining module.

Objectives: This course introduces the necessary concepts and techniques needed to create complex 2D CAD drawings using Elements/Direct Drafting. On completion of this course you will be able to work comfortably with the Elements/Direct Drafting user interface, work with construction geometry and real geometry, design complex 2D parts, modify the design, use the drawing Copilot functionality, add text and hatching to the design, add dimensions manually and automatically, assemble parts into a part structure, and save and load drawing files.

Prerequisites: To get the most from this course you should have a background in design or mechanical engineering, drafting, or illustration

Audience: This class is ideal for design engineers, mechanical engineers, drafters, and illustrators.

Duration: 3 days

Content: User Interface, Create Drawings, Ruler/Grid Functions, Create Geometry, Hatches, Selection Modify, Bitmaps (Pixmaps), Using Text, Dimensioning, Parts Technology, Standards, and Plotting.

Objectives: The FE Analysis course, formerly known as Design Analysis, will give you an understanding of the finite element process as used in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. After this training, you will know how to create, modify, copy and delete an analysis study as well as set up correct boundary conditions. This will give you the skills to make design decisions at a very early stage about whether the initial design meets technical requirements or not, and therefore you will be able to make the right design changes earlier and easier.

Prerequisites: This course requires the prior completion of the Beginner's Creo Elements/Direct Modeling or SolidDesigner courses. Note: The FE Analysis module requires an appropriate license in order to be enabled.

Audience: This class is ideal for designers and engineers who currently have or wish to evaluate the Creo Elements/Direct Modeling FE Analysis module and want to evaluate and optimise design alternatives based on basic analysis cases.

Duration: 2 days

Content: FE Analysis Overview, FE Analysis Basics, Structural Analysis in FE Analysis Module, Post-Processing Structural Analysis Results, Auto Meshing, User-Defined Mesh, Output and Documentation, Systems Settings, Assembly Analysis, Thermal Analysis in FE Analysis Module, and Post-Processing Thermal Analysis Results.

Objectives: This course will show you how to manage Elements/Direct Modeling and Annotation data with Creo Elements/Direct Manager. Includes saving, loading, and searching for data with Elements/Direct Manager. Also covers how to view and manage database details.

Prerequisites: To get the most from this course you should have prior experience with Design Data Management or Desktop (but it is not required), and a basic knowledge of Elements/Direct Modeling and Annotation.

Audience: This class is ideal for current users of Elements/Direct Modeling who have experience with previous Elements/Direct data management products such as Desktop or Design Data Management.

Duration: 2 days

Content: Introduction to the user interface, Version and assembly configuration management, Saving, searching, and loading 2D data in Annotation, Saving, searching, and loading 3D data in Modeling, Managing 2D/3D data associativity, Creating thumbnail images for 2D and 3D data, Editing user preferences, Adding attributes to 2D and 3D data, Title blocks and text references for Annotation borders, BOM creation and management, and Informal workflow (i.e., packets).
