Features: This book focuses on the modeling of product parts as the main line, explaining the basic operations of the software and applications such as curves and sketches, as well as practical examples using solid modeling, composite modeling, and free-form feature modeling as the primary modeling methods. Through numerous product design examples, it introduces the basic functions, usage methods, and tips of the new version of UGS NX4 by UGS Company. The book is divided into 6 chapters. In Chapter 1, readers will familiarize themselves with the basic environment of UG NX4, including the customization of toolbars, layer management, basic operations of objects, and coordinate system operations. In Chapter 2, basic operations and key techniques of curve creation are learned through examples. In Chapter 3, various feature modeling tools and commands are learned through examples. In Chapter 4, the basic concepts of sketching are introduced, and the application of sketching is explained through practical examples. In Chapter 5, advanced applications based on free-form feature modeling are introduced, including the creation of basic and complex surfaces, as well as surface editing and modification. In Chapter 6, the usage of major modeling tools is introduced in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand manner through numerous modeling examples. This book can serve as a training manual, a textbook for ACAD courses for college and undergraduate students in mechanical manufacturing majors, and a self-study reference book. It is also suitable as a supplementary guide for mechanical industry designers learning software applications.
