Features: Since Pro/ENGINEER was introduced in 1988 as a parametric design software, it has evolved into a standard 3D CAD/CAM system. Pro/ENGINEER incorporates meaningful physical quantities such as volume, surface area, centroid, density, and thickness into the design concept to express the designer's ideas, thereby transforming the design paradigm. This book primarily covers the following topics: the characteristics of parametric design, basic operations of Pro/ENGINEER, section design, control of 3D views, datum features, and the creation of solid features. Through detailed and concise part design examples, readers can develop practical modeling and product development skills. The book is rich in content, with clear and straightforward design examples, making it suitable for engineering design professionals in fields such as electronics, mechanics, mold design, and industrial design. It is also an ideal textbook for computer-aided design (CAD) internships in engineering colleges.
