Features: I-DEAS software is an integrated product development solution from EDS, one of the world's most renowned CAD/CAM/CAE/CAT integrated mechanical design automation software. It has been widely applied in the mechanical design industry in China. This book combines the design of reducer parts to explain the process of product design using I-DEAS, covering most of the commonly used functions of the CAD module in I-DEAS. The book consists of 11 chapters. Chapters 1-3 provide a brief introduction to the basic knowledge of I-DEAS; Chapters 4-8 divide the reducer parts into shaft-type, disc-type, gear-type, and housing-type parts based on their structural characteristics, and systematically introduce the functions and command usage of I-DEAS by combining the design process of typical structural parts. Chapter 9 introduces data management; Chapters 10 and 11 cover the process of overall assembly modeling of the reducer and the generation of engineering drawings. The book aims to improve readers' practical operation skills and design proficiency in this software, avoiding vague descriptions of command functions. Readers can follow the examples to learn and apply the software simultaneously. The book is suitable for self-study and is aimed at a broad audience of engineering design personnel using I-DEAS software. It can also serve as a training textbook for students and teachers in relevant university majors to learn this software.
