Features: This book introduces the creation of three-dimensional geometric models for simple mechanical and electronic parts using Pro/ENGINEER (Pro/E) Wildfire 3.0 in an easy-to-understand manner. It is suitable for beginners of Pro/E and does not require prior knowledge of AutoCAD. Only basic engineering drawing knowledge is needed. The content covered includes: establishing datum points, fundamental concepts of 3D surface design, creation of 3D curves and surfaces, editing of 3D curves and surfaces, examples of 3D surface design, examples of 3D part design, part design modifications, handling design failures, basic operations for creating 2D engineering drawings, and other functions of part design (such as the creation of relations and part families, setting part engineering information, file conversion, and part printing). In terms of teaching, this book emphasizes the "logical thinking" involved in using Pro/E Wildfire 3.0, allowing readers to grasp the philosophy of 3D part design in Pro/E rather than just memorizing command locations and operations. The book provides numerous part design examples to help readers develop practical design skills through hands-on practice. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the original files of the book's examples and a multimedia teaching system where the author demonstrates and explains the detailed operation processes of all examples step-by-step using the Chinese version of Pro/E Wildfire 3.0. This book can serve as a foundational textbook for "Computer-Aided Design" courses in universities or vocational colleges. For readers who already have basic Pro/E knowledge, it can also be used as a reference book for practical exercises.
