Features: Since its introduction in 1988 as a parametric design software, Pro/ENGINEER has evolved into the standard software for 3D CAD/CAM systems. Pro/ENGINEER incorporates design-meaningful physical quantities such as volume, surface area, centroid, density, and thickness into the design concept to express the designer's ideas, thereby transforming the design paradigm. This book primarily covers the following content: the characteristics of parametric design, basic operations of Pro/ENGINEER, section design, control of 3D viewing angles, datum features, and the creation of solid features. Through detailed and concise part design examples, readers can develop practical modeling and product development skills. The book is rich in content, with clear and straightforward design examples, making it suitable for engineering design personnel in fields such as electronics, mechanics, mold design, and industrial design. It is also suitable as a practical textbook for computer-aided design (CAD) in engineering colleges. The book mainly covers: surface design, part design examples, modifications in part design, part assembly, and basic operations for creating engineering drawings.
