Features: This book is based on the new Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire version from PTC Company. It 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. In terms of content, to help readers better and more deeply understand some abstract concepts, complex commands, and functions in Pro/ENGINEER software, as well as gain a comprehensive understanding of the product development process using the software, this book introduces the entire design and development process of a specific product—a bottle opener. Additionally, Chapter 6 provides a detailed explanation of the design process of example parts. This arrangement enhances the readability and practicality of the book, moving away from the dry explanation and introduction of individual concepts, commands, and functions. This book can serve as a self-study tutorial and reference book for mechanical professionals in Pro/ENGINEER, as well as a teaching or hands-on practice material for CAD/CAM courses in colleges and universities.
