Features: Pro/ENGINEER is one of the most widely used high-end 3D mechanical CAD software in various industries in China. This textbook takes the newly released Chinese version "Wildfire 3.0" of Pro/ENGINEER as the basis, introducing the operation methods and mechanical design application techniques of the software. The content includes an overview of Pro/ENGINEER's functional modules and features, system configuration and environment setup methods, 2D sketch creation, part design, surface design, assembly design, and engineering drawing creation. In terms of content arrangement, to help students quickly master the basic functions of Pro/ENGINEER, the book explains some abstract concepts, commands, and functions in the software through numerous examples. Additionally, it presents actual product design processes in the form of case studies, enabling students to quickly enter a design state. Exercises are also included in key chapters to help students further consolidate their knowledge. In terms of writing style, this book closely follows the actual operation interface of the software, using real dialog boxes, manipulation panels, and buttons in the software for explanations. This allows beginners to operate the software intuitively and accurately, enabling them to quickly get started and improve learning efficiency. After completing this book, students will be able to quickly apply Pro/ENGINEER software to complete general product design tasks and lay a solid foundation for further learning advanced and professional modules. The book is comprehensive, well-organized, rich in examples, and detailed in explanations, making it suitable as a CAD course textbook for mechanical engineering students in higher education institutions. It can also serve as a self-study introductory guide and reference book for engineering technicians learning Pro/ENGINEER.
