Features: UG (Unigraphics) is a three-dimensional mechanical design platform that integrates CAD/CAE/CAM, launched by Unigraphics Solutions. It is one of the widely used computer-aided design, analysis, and manufacturing software in the world today. This book focuses on the functional modules of UG, explaining them with numerous examples. The entire book consists of 18 chapters, introducing most of the content in the CAD module of the UG software. Chapters 1–16 emphasize foundational knowledge, while Chapters 17–18 are dedicated to comprehensive case studies, covering the solid modeling of typical gear box components in engineering practice (with some parts using parametric modeling methods), followed by overall assembly and the extraction of engineering drawings. Through the explanation of these case studies, readers can deepen their understanding of key concepts while mastering the general process and practical techniques of CAD design using UG. The operational steps in the examples are clear and logical, allowing readers to follow them step by step to achieve proficiency in UG's various functions. Additionally, the functions of UG generally do not overlap significantly, enabling readers to learn selectively based on their needs. This book is suitable for intermediate and advanced users of UG software engaged in engineering design, as well as for teaching or self-study reference materials for college students and teachers in related fields. It can also serve as a textbook for various UG software training courses.
