Features: This book is based on the newly released Pro/ENGINEER Chinese Wildfire 3.0 version by PTC Company in the United States. It is divided into 16 chapters, covering topics such as an introduction to Pro/ENGINEER functional modules, software installation and configuration, 2D sketching, part design, surface design, assembly design, model measurement and analysis, view management, engineering drawing creation, relations and family tables, feature deformation tools, ISDX surface modeling, model appearance settings and rendering, mechanism module and motion simulation, animation, behavior modeling, mold design, and sheet metal design. The arrangement of chapters follows the principle of progressing from simple to complex. In terms of content, the book uses numerous examples to explain some abstract concepts, commands, and functions in the various modules of Pro/ENGINEER software, making the material easy to understand and simplifying complex topics.

This allows beginners to operate the software intuitively and accurately, improving their learning efficiency. This book can serve as a self-study tutorial and reference for mechanical engineering design professionals, as well as a teaching reference for faculty and students in mechanical engineering programs at colleges and universities. The accompanying CD-ROM includes examples, model files, and software configuration files used in the book. The book is divided into 16 chapters, covering topics such as an introduction to Pro/ENGINEER functional modules, software installation and configuration, 2D sketching, part design, surface design, assembly design, model measurement and analysis, view management, engineering drawing creation, relations and family tables, and feature deformation tools.
