This book synergistically integrates the design process
with the specific commands and procedures of Pro|ENGINEER through a unique
presentation scheme. Users are first provided with the design information about
the part or assembly and its design intent. Then, they see an overview of
steps involved in modeling the part/assembly. This is accompanied by detailed instructions
showing goals, steps and commands in a four column presentation. The
consistent approach is supplemented by many illustrations on each page. Each chapter
adds new information while reinforcing key concepts.
The focus of the text is on teaching actual design modeling using
Pro|ENGINEER
rather than teaching a set of commands. The book illustrates the part, drawing
and assembly creation with several industrial examples. Theses parts fit
together in the final chapters to form one large assembly.
Key Features of this book:
- Models of real machine components and assemblies
- A flexible four column page layout with several illustrations
- Detailed instructions for creating good engineering drawings
- Implementation of bottom-up and top-down approaches
- Additional resources including exercise problems and helpful hints
