Features: Since Pro／ENGINEER was introduced in 1988 as a parametric design software, it has now developed into a standard software for 3D CAD/CAM systems and is widely used in industries such as electronics, mechanical molds, and industrial design. This book primarily introduces how to create complex 3D solids and surfaces, covering topics including: the use of simple and advanced fillets, creating draft surfaces, designing arched surfaces, offsetting reference surfaces, designing lip edges at part joints, creating Tweak features (such as Replace, Ear, Patch, Toroidal Bend, Spinal Bend, FreeForm, etc.), adding programs to parts or assemblies, standardizing feature design, and standardizing part design. Finally, four examples are provided to demonstrate the practical application of complex solid or surface features (such as variable-section sweeps, sweep blends, boundary surfaces, advanced fillets, Tweak, and datum geometry) in the design of complex parts. Through detailed and concise part design examples, this book helps readers develop practical modeling and product development skills. The content is comprehensive, and the design examples are clear and straightforward, making it suitable for engineering design personnel in fields such as electronics, mechanics, molds, and industrial design. It is also suitable as a learning textbook for computer-aided design in engineering colleges.
