Features: This book explains in a simple and easy-to-understand way how to design simple 3D parts using Pro/ENGINEER (abbreviated as Pro/E). It is suitable for beginners of Pro/E and does not require prior knowledge of AutoCAD. Only a basic understanding of engineering drawings is needed. The content covered in this book includes: hardware requirements and software installation for Pro/E Wildfire 3.0, an introduction to the features of Pro/E, accessing and saving Pro/E files, operating the Pro/E interface, display methods for 3D parts, controlling the view of 3D parts, setting colors for 3D parts, establishing datum planes and axes, drawing 2D sketches, an introduction to 3D solid features, designing basic features (including extrusion, rotation, sweep, and blend features), designing engineering features (including holes, fillets, chamfers, shells, draft, and ribs), copying and mirroring features, and feature arrays. Finally, it demonstrates the concept and process of 3D solid feature design through multiple practical mechanical part design examples. Readers can use this book to learn how to design 3D solid modeling using Pro/E Wildfire 3.0. The book emphasizes the "logical thinking" involved in using Pro/E Wildfire 3.0, allowing readers to understand the philosophy of Pro/E 3D part design rather than just focusing on the functionality of commands. The book provides numerous part design examples to help readers develop practical design skills through real-world practice. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a multimedia teaching system where the author personally demonstrates and explains the detailed operation processes of all the examples in the book using Pro/E Wildfire 3.0. This book can serve as a foundational textbook for "Computer-Aided Design" courses in universities, colleges, or vocational and technical schools. For readers who already have basic Pro/E knowledge, it can also be used as a reference book for practical exercises.
