Features: Pro/ENGINEER is a powerful three-dimensional product design software based on parameters, enjoying a high reputation in the industry and boasting tens of thousands of users. This manual focuses on applications, providing a comprehensive, in-depth, and detailed explanation of the functions and applications of Pro/ENGINEER. The content of the manual is divided into eight parts. Part 1 focuses on introducing fundamental knowledge such as the user interface, configuration basics, model basics, relations and parameters, and the concept of family tables. Part 2 focuses on the sketcher, datum features, basic features, editing features, engineering features, construction features, advanced and twisted features, groups, and UDFs. Part 3 focuses on the creation and editing of surfaces as well as modeling techniques. Part 4 focuses on typical mold design processes, parting surface design, volume block design, core and cavity design, draft hole design, insert design, gating system design, and waterline cooling design. Part 5 focuses on sheet metal design. Part 6 provides rich application examples to illustrate constraint assembly, connection assembly, repetitive assembly, and common operations in assemblies. Part 7 includes engineering drawings and file output and loading. Part 8 focuses on classic industrial product design, including the design of watch casings, mobile phone charger casings, household knife sharpeners, gear pairs, and their motion simulation, as well as the design of a compact multi-functional music player to demonstrate TOP-DOWN design. This manual is a classic reference book for engineers using Pro/ENGINEER for product modeling and structural design. It is suitable not only for designers with some software foundation but also for advanced users as a reference. Additionally, it is also suitable as a teaching reference book for advanced training institutions and higher vocational colleges in relevant fields. The manual is accompanied by two multimedia CDs, which include source files and multimedia demonstrations of most examples in the manual.
