Features: This book can be used as a self-study tutorial and reference for mechanical professionals learning Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, as well as a teaching or hands-on practice textbook for students in colleges and universities taking CAD/CAM courses. The book comes with a free CD-ROM. It is written based on the newest version of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. The content covers the concepts of parametric 3D modeling in Pro/ENGINEER, the configuration and customization of the Pro/ENGINEER software, the creation of 3D solid part models, assembly models, engineering drawings, analysis and calculations, and model rendering. The arrangement of chapters follows the teaching principle of progressing from simple to complex and maintaining coherence. To help readers better and more deeply understand some abstract concepts, complex commands, and functions in the Pro/ENGINEER software, the book is equipped with numerous exercises and examples. At the same time, to give readers a comprehensive understanding of the product development process, the book introduces the entire design and development process of a specific product—the bottle opener. This arrangement aims to enhance the book's readability and practicality, helping readers quickly become experts in the field of design. In terms of writing style, the book closely aligns with the actual operation interface of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, using real dialog boxes, control panels, buttons, and icons for explanations. This allows beginners to operate the software intuitively and accurately, enabling them to quickly get started. At the same time, it provides great convenience for readers who do not have access to the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire software.
