Features: Adopts a "task-driven" writing approach, introducing case studies and heuristic teaching methods; provides teaching resources such as electronic lesson plans and case materials, offering a comprehensive textbook; meets the needs of applied talent cultivation in higher education institutions. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire is the latest parametric solid modeling software released by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), widely used in the engineering field. Based on the author's teaching experience and techniques in applying Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, this book explains the primary feature commands, operation methods, and tips of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire from the perspective of a mechanical engineer. The content includes the basic operations of the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire system software, the user interface, sketching, the application and operation of basic features, part design, datum generation, engineering drawing, and part assembly. The book integrates the comprehensive application of feature commands, closely ties theory to practical examples for in-depth explanations, enabling readers to comprehensively utilize the functions described. After reading this book, readers will be equipped with the ability to perform 3D solid modeling design, making them more adept at new product development. The greatest feature of this book is the close integration of practice and theory. Comprehensive examples are provided after each section to ensure readers thoroughly master the corresponding content. This book serves as a textbook for computer-aided design in mechanical-related disciplines at higher education institutions and is also suitable for all professionals in mechanical-related industries engaged in 3D software design and drafting. The book is accompanied by an electronic lesson plan and provides all case materials.
