Features: This book introduces the concepts of virtual design and assembly. It begins with a brief explanation of the necessary concepts and then immediately moves into the design phase, guiding readers to gradually understand and master these concepts through the book's organized sequence. The book is rich in practical examples, incorporating corresponding exercises and demonstrations in each chapter to allow readers to practice and learn by doing. Each example is accompanied by detailed steps. The book emphasizes comprehensive knowledge, not only providing single-focused examples but also integrating multiple aspects of knowledge into comprehensive exercises, allowing readers to experience real-world design work and explore further possibilities. This book is about the application of Pro/Engineer in mechanical engineering. The entire book adopts the approach of a design engineer using the software, applying it to the full assembly design of two widely used mechanical parts—the jack and the gear pump—to explain the specific operations of Pro/Engineer. The book first elaborates on the relationship between Pro/Engineer and design engineers, then explains how to configure Pro/Engineer based on different design functions. It proceeds from basic part creation to complex surfaces, relations, part libraries, assemblies, motion simulation, and finite element analysis, culminating in the configuration and modification of parts. The book is written by experienced teachers with many years of teaching experience in mechanical parts and Pro/Engineer. The content is practical, highly targeted, and professionally rigorous, employing a hands-on teaching method that is highly suitable for the learning and application of mechanical professionals.
