Features: This book is written based on the Pro/ENGINEER 2001 version. It covers the concepts of parametric 3D modeling in Pro/ENGINEER, the installation, configuration, and customization of the Pro/ENGINEER software, the creation of 3D solid part models, sheet metal design, surface modeling, the creation of assembly models, the creation of engineering drawings, analysis and calculations, model rendering, mechanical motion simulation, and mold design. The arrangement of chapters in this book follows the teaching principle of progressing from simple to complex and maintaining coherence. In terms of content, to help readers better and more deeply understand some abstract concepts, complex commands, and functions in the Pro/ENGINEER software, the book is equipped with a large number of exercises and examples. At the same time, to give readers a comprehensive understanding of the product development process, the book also introduces the entire design and development process of a specific product—the bottle opener. This arrangement aims to enhance the readability and practicality of the book, helping everyone become a skilled professional in the design field more quickly. In terms of writing style, the book closely follows the actual operation interface of the Pro/ENGINEER 2001 software, using real dialog boxes, buttons, and icons for explanations. This allows beginners to operate the software intuitively and accurately for learning, enabling them to get started quickly. It also provides great convenience for readers who do not have access to the Pro/ENGINEER 2001 software. This book can serve as a self-study tutorial and reference book for mechanical professionals, as well as a teaching or hands-on practice textbook for students in colleges and universities studying CAD/CAM and related courses. The book comes with a free CD-ROM.
