Features: This book is a design tutorial specifically designed for learning and mastering the use of the mechanical parts design software Pro/ENGINEER2003 Chinese version in a short period of time. The author, starting from the practicality and ease of use for teaching and self-study, uses typical examples, explaining while practicing and designing real mechanical parts, fully demonstrating the powerful functions of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. The content of the book: This book is divided into 13 chapters, mainly including: basic knowledge of Pro/ENGINEER, new features and user interface, basic principles of part modeling, sketch drawing, basic and advanced features, modeling design of fasteners, transmission parts, shaft system parts, and other parts, part assembly, basic knowledge and skills of engineering drawing, and examples. Learning this book, the above mechanical parts can all be designed and manufactured using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. Features of the book: 1. Starts from scratch, rich in examples, illustrated with pictures, detailed steps, closely aligned with industry applications, strong practicality; 2. A teaching method that explains while providing examples, from specific points to the whole, from the local to the global, vividly and detailedly explaining the basic knowledge, intermediate applications, and actual part design steps of Pro/ENGINEER; 3. All examples in the book are combined with actual mechanical part design requirements, mastering the application of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire software while also mastering the design knowledge and operational skills of common mechanical parts; 4. Corresponding exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, and answers are included at the back of the book for convenience in teaching and self-study. 5. The CD content is rich and practical, which can greatly improve learning efficiency and quickly become a senior mechanical part design engineer! CD content: All modeling files of examples related to this book, hypermedia teaching videos, and related materials. Target Audience: Textbook for computer-aided design majors in higher education institutions, self-study guide for a wide range of technicians in the mechanical industry using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire for mechanical part modeling design, teaching materials for vocational schools and computer training classes. In the field of CAD/CAM, Pro/ENGINEER (abbreviated as Pro/E) is as well-known in the industry as AutoCAD and CATIA. An increasing number of enterprises are adopting Pro/ENGINEER computer-aided design software for product development and design. This book is an introduction to the new version of Pro/ENGINEER—Wildfire. The new user interface and quick and easy operations of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire are the biggest improvements of the new version of Pro/ENGINEER. It can also be said that the operation of Pro/ENGINEER is becoming more 'user-friendly' or 'programmed,' but designers still need a certain amount of mechanical professional knowledge. Like Pro/E, such large development tools, due to their inherent complexity, have many functions hidden deep, even experienced users may find it difficult to explore all the functions. The new version's user interface provides a practical design method for 3D modeling personnel by allowing users to decide all important functions. Additionally, by changing the existing menu selection method to a simple icon selection, the new user interface successfully eliminates background distractions in the design process. All of these help users focus on the design task rather than software operation. This book is a basic tutorial on using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire for mechanical part design. The main content is based on the design of actual mechanical parts, comprehensively and deeply explaining how to use the part modeling module, part assembly module, and engineering drawing module of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire to design actual mechanical parts, the concepts of Pro/ENGINEER in modeling design, the concepts of mechanical parts, and various practical modeling methods in the Pro/ENGINEER system. Through the study of this book, it is hoped that readers will master the use of the new version of Pro/ENGINEER and its application in part design, fully utilize the subjective initiative of designers, fully explore the various functions of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, and use it as a powerful tool to improve technical levels and operational skills, making the computer-aided design of mechanical parts even easier.
